I cursed myself yesterday. In my blog post, I mentioned Ali’s propensity to Quiet Time Bathroom Catastrophes. Apparently she felt as if I was being hyperbolic about her issues, and wanted to show me what a true Bathroom Catastrophe looked like. —————- It all started in Quiet Time, the aforementioned birthplace of all bathroom catastrophes. […]
As Noted During Quiet Time.
Hint: read “ice” as icky. Being that she’s a five year old girl, Ali has a lot of words. And although she does enjoy her daily quiet time, the multitudes of unused words tend to build up within her soul. To prevent a horrible drain clog, overflow, or some other gruesome word tragedy, Ali has […]
The North Pole of Halloween.
You might have noticed that my husband has a bit of obsession with Christmas. …Which would explain why he was willing to dress as a donkey to get me in a Pregnant Mary outfit two years ago. So as my husband encourages me ever quickly down the slippery slope of becoming a Holiday Liberalist, we […]
On Being Gravely Ill.
Last week, I experienced a new echelon of sick. The sickest sick I’ve experienced in many moons. And suns. And stars. Three days of raging illness with every symptom in WebMD’s rather extensive checklist. (Except for “craving to eat ice, dirt or paper” but definitely including “poor personal hygiene.”) The kind of sick that even […]
The Day Little Tykes Failed Me.
I promised a weekly-ish homeschooling post for a while-ish. (Last week was my off week, so it doesn’t count.) This week, I decided to share a typical fail. Because fails are just as common as successes, and I don’t want anyone thinking otherwise. My dear sweet husband bought a used Little Tykes slide and car […]
A Day in Our (Home)School.
One of the most common questions I get is “what does your day look like?” And after that, “What curriculum do you use?” This post should answer those questions. At least for this month – I have a feeling that our typical day will continuously change. So, as of right now, this is how it […]
Left and Wrong.
I’m not sure whether my Mom exposed herself to too much Aqua Net or drank too much Tab Cola, but I was born with a defect: I have never been able to tell my left from my right. But before you begin to question my intelligence, I have a great sense of direction – I […]
The Worst Blogger Ever.
On Saturday, I took a road trip by myself to Jackson, Mississippi for a Vault Party. Although I don’t normally travel to do jean parties, two of my long-time blog and twitter friends, Sarah and Megan, had invited me to come. So besides the fun of offering makeovers to dozens of women’s butts, it was […]
Diary of a Windy Kid.
A couple of weeks ago, Ali informed me of an interesting fact at the breakfast table. “When Giann babysits me, she makes me go to the bathroom to toot.” “She does?” “Yes. She says it smells too bad.” “So. Do you?” (sigh) “Yes. I’m not allowed to toot around her anymore. She says I need […]
Home Alone: The Review.
So Chris went to Dallas last weekend for the Alabama/Michigan game. (I know, right?? Why do Alabama and Michigan need to meet in TEXAS?? And men say that women are the illogical ones…) He was gone the entire long weekend – from Friday morning to Monday afternoon. Which, if anyone’s counting, is four days and […]
