This shouldn’t even be my post. I should have my husband write this as a guest author. But we all know that won’t happen. If you want to read his works be prepared with a technical dictionary and go to Paralipsis, his blog. So you are stuck with my account of […]
We have doing a lot of learning about the value of money lately. I usually compare a purchase to the price of everyone eating at Mc Donald’s. So when they ask for a toy I compare the cost of it to the cost of other things we do or will be doing. […]
Lainy Ann has informed us that she is running away from home. She doesn’t want to, but she has to. Apparently she was done tickling yesterday and the game continued. So, since we don’t listen to her she will have to leave.
So I set down the ground rules which led […]
There are many types of screams. The one I hear most often is the my-sibling-is-bugging-me-Mo-om. There is the frustrated-scream, which is usually high pitched and annoys me as early as 10 am which prompts a no-more-talking-for-the-rest-of-the-day-rule.

This last month has been a busy one. And since my blog is down you all got spared the multitude of entries detailing these tiny accomplishments. As we near the end of the school year, and in our house, a bunch of summer birthdays I am reminded that although my kids are growing […]
If you peruse my blog you will see stories of my too-smart-for-their-britches kids. I love them to pieces, but their intelligence can be maddening sometimes. My husband like to joke that with four kids in the family they will be able to out-smart me before I know it.
Well, it seems Alexander is […]
If you know me at all you know that I can be a little controlling. Nothing makes me happier than being in charge of my environment and “keeping house”. Every time we stay at a hotel I spend the first 10 minutes rearranging things and sometimes furniture. Its really no wonder I […]
Mother’s Day becomes so much more special when you are the mother. It got even better once the kids started school and I got popsicle stick picture frames and pasta necklaces and a bouquet of paper flowers. I even get to spend some one-on-one time celebrating with my child at the preschool. […]
