As if I needed further proof that I am a bad mom, here are 2 highlights from today (and it’s only noon): 1. Sydney, age 3, called her brother a “stupid ass”. 2. Will insisted on riding through the grocery store sitting atop the kiddie cart shaped like a police car. I gave up trying [Read More]
Not just a bad mom, but a dumb one, too!
(Okay, so I’m not on vacation–yet. And I was telling this story to my co-workers, at least 1 of whom reads my blog, thank you, and she said this story was definitely blog worthy. So here it is!) We were talking about Montana at the dinner table. I was trying to get the kids excited [Read More]

Bad Mom vs. a 3-year-old
“Mom,” said Sydney. “Where are my apple slices?” I had been doing a million things and had told her to hold on. “Remember, I told you to hold on.” “Where are they?” “Sydney, I told you to hold on.” “You’re a bad mom,” she said, matter-of-factly. Oh, great. Just what I needed to hear. “Well, [Read More]

$10 Well Spent
A while back I shared that Will and Sydney had been invited to be the ring bearer and flower girl in a wedding. Well, the wedding was this weekend and it went great! Surprisingly, the kids hung out up front during the whole ceremony. I thought for sure they would have taken me up on [Read More]

Girls who Rock the World, Part II
I realize I haven’t shared any Sydney stories lately. That’s because I spend all my time being a bad mom to Will, but not Sydney. I’m kidding! A couple weeks ago we had some really windy Spring days. Sydney was sitting at her picnic table playing as the wind swirled around her. She looked to [Read More]

Car Wash
The kids were outside playing together. It was a minor miracle. The game they decided to play was “let’s-put-water-in-the-trash-can”, which I discovered after they made numerous trips past the window with cups of water in their hands and evil little glints in their eyes. I suggested that instead of putting water in the trash can, [Read More]

An Apology to the Princesses
We’re back from Disney and we had a great time. The highest of highs and lowest of lows, as all parents of small children who traipse through amusement parks can relate. I do feel I owe an apology to the Disney Princesses. Once upon a time, before I had a daughter, the princesses annoyed me. [Read More]

Sanitation Engineer?
Sydney has really taken to checking the cat’s litter box every day. “Oooo,” she squealed this morning. “He’s poopy!” She holds the plastic bag while I scoop the poop and pee chunks out of the litter box. After about 4 clumps were in the bag this morning, she shouted, “Look! It’s a party!” How could [Read More]

Poor second child
That’s it. I really suck at motherhood. I lost the Post-it from Sydney’s 3 year checkup with all her vital information on it. You know, her height and weight and what percentile she is. Her baby book needs this stuff, folks! I thought about leaving her baby book blank for the 3 year slot. Just [Read More]

Sydney and the Giant Toot
Last week I had the pleasure of being a single mom while Chad was on a business trip. One of the highlights was taking Will to his Scout Pack meeting and dragging Sydney along. She was pretty good. I brought some toys she could play with and sometimes the first thru fourth grade boys did [Read More]
