Remember this from a few weeks ago? It’s a picture of the gazillion pieces of paper that I have to manage as Will, 7, navigates 2nd grade. This week his teachers added a student planner to the mix. Every night Will now brings home a planner in which he has written his homework assignments and [Read More]
Books for Sydney
Sydney and I were at the library. I started giggling to myself when I realized how BAD I am. Often she pulls out a book from the shelf and tells me she wants it. Of course, she takes about a half-second before she moves on and pulls out another book that she must have. Meanwhile, [Read More]

Share and Share Alike
Sydney and I were snacking on some Chex Mix. We like the Traditional kind, not the Cheddar or anything spicy. Just so you know. At one point I was holding the bag and Sydney asked for some. “No,” I said, teasing. She got mad! “You have to share,” she declared. “It’s not like you’re Dad [Read More]

Experienced Bad Kitty Mom
Last Thursday I had a bad day. Stressed, scattered, you name it. The recipient of my bad day vibes turned out to be my poor kitty. (Should I be comforted that it wasn’t my kids?!?) It was 3pm and a nice afternoon. Sydney was convinced she wanted to go in her wading pool. I was [Read More]

Bratz and Hoochies
Sydney was watching TV while I was getting dinner ready. She saw a commercial for the Bratz dolls. “I want that!” “No,” I replied. “First of all, remember we’ve been having this conversation about how you can’t have everything you see on TV?” “I know,” she whined. “That’s why I want them for Christmas.” Not [Read More]

The Middle
I’ve wanted to mention ABC’s The Middle for sometime now. I love its humor and look forward to watching it Wednesday nights. In a nutshell, The Middle is a comedy about a working-class family in Indiana. Mom and Dad both work jobs while raising 3 kids (1 in elementary school, 1 in middle school, and [Read More]

More about Butts
My (few!) loyal blog readers know that my 7-year-old loves butts. He loves talking about butts, wiggling his butt, randomly showing his butt, etc. How appropriate, then, that this summer we grew in our very own backyard a tomato that looks just like a butt! Even the plant life recognizes that I’m a bad mom. [Read More]

Are you kidding me?
The picture above was taken last week. It shows 6 days worth of 2nd grade paperwork sent home with my son. I know that teachers’ jobs are hard, but do they have to make my job as a parent so much harder, too? Really. These papers are all instructions to the parents about the book [Read More]

Dancing with Wedgies
Sydney, age 3, has started Creative Movement classes at a local dance studio. We went shopping a couple weeks ago and bought her ballet shoes and a new leotard. Cute! Today was her second class. As she jumped and twirled around the room, I couldn’t help but notice she had a giant wedgie and her [Read More]

Experienced Bad…School?
It’s back to school time and Will is now in 2nd grade. Last night as he was getting dressed for bed, I started chatting with him about his day. “What was your favorite thing you learned about in school today?” He stopped putting on his jammies and smiled. Then he stuck his butt out. He [Read More]
