Yet another reason I love my husband

He fixed my vacuum cleaner. I’m a stay at home mom, with two kids under six, plus I baby sit for two more toddlers. My vacuum cleaner is my FAVORITE. I use it three or four times a day, it’s my go to appliance. I can think of no other piece of household stuff that …

Sam’s fashion sense

Earlier today, Sam picked out his outfit and announced he was ready to go outside. If you can picture an adorable little boy, with light brown hair, greyish green eyes and a huge smile, with a rainbow sun hat, topped with a princess tiara, white onesie that’s so old it’s all stretched out, blue and …

How did this happen?

I think when I first had children, I expected them to be just like me. And with Jessie, it worked. She and I are very similiar, we process information in much the same way, we find the same sort of things interesting, we both whine a lot, and are prone to temper tantrums :-). And …

Content as could be

All is well in my world – major thunderstorm this morning, which is my FAVORITE. I love the pounding rain, the booming thunder and the flashes of lightning. We kept Jess home today, she’s just been such a wreck this weekend, actually, more like just yesterday, I think she needs a day when she can …

Grounded

Grounded my little girl tonight for the first time in her little life. She’s been having a crappy day, lots of physical aggression, and she narrowly avoided kicking me upside the head in car because she started flailing her legs and screaming about me not understanding her. So she’s off the computer all day tomorrow …

Thank goodness

Everyone is gone. It’s just me, Jessica and Samuel right now, and I’m calm and relaxed. There’s been a lot of chaos and confusion lately around here, I had Glennys over night Friday night, and then yesterday we went up to my cousin’s graduation party in Rindge. I ended up taking two of my nieces …

Can I brag?

My not even two year old WALKED all the way to Elm Park. Which is a ridiculously long walk for such a little boy – and he was so happy. Wearing a little blue one piece outfit, with his sister’s sun hat perched on his little head. He’s so big!

We’re pumping up the paaaaaaaaaaaaaty now

I got up this morning and staggered into the kitchen to make the coffee. Once I pressed the little button, I then crawled into the living room to wait for the cable guy to come and fix my cable. That’s when I heard the little voice in Jessie’s bedroom. She had apparently gotten up earlier …

Bright and beautiful Wednesday

And all is well in my world. Kids are all happy – Jessie is doing REALLY well with all this activity. For the next two weeks, she’ll be at camp or preschool every single weekday. This is unprecidented in her little life, even when I was working, I still had one day off mid-week. But …

Summer Camp

Jess went off to summer camp this morning. I was really happy to send her off, for a bunch of different reasons. One, I think that the summer will be better if she’s got a bit of structure to it, it’s only two mornings a week, but I think she’ll have fun and still be …
