Dogs Don’t Wear Shoes
If you stop by my house at, oh, say, 8pm on any given evening, you will find me mopping. I know. It’s sad. Really, really sad. I hadn’t expected the floors to get THIS dirty. We are a no-shoes-in-the-house family. The Hubs has been strict about this to the point that my kids typically pull off their shoes when they go into another person’s house. But, you see, I have a puppy. She is a sweet puppy, and she is very nearly housetrained. But she doesn’t wear shoes. For obvious reasons. And all the dirt on her feet – despite my attempts to wipe them dry at the back door…

Fill In The Blank Friday
image from http://allisonwheeler.tumblr.com/ via we heart it 1. Blogging is my way of keeping life in perspective – and letting me laugh at my family myself. 2. A current fashion trend I wish I was brave enough to wear is a bikini. (Ok, not a current trend, but I haven’t worn one since my honeymoon. Sorry, honey.) 3. My greatest accomplishment in life thus far is raising my two children. They can frustrate me, but all in all, they are pretty darn amazing creatures! 4. If I had to choose between a mountain or a beach vacation I’d choose a beach vacation. Sitting with my toes in the sand, a…

Maybe not so much Mad as Sad.
Each night at dinner, we share the worst part, and then the best part of our day. Its a lovely tradition that initiates conversation at the dinner table that we may not ordinarily get to hear. (How many times have you asked “what did you do today?” to which the response has been “Nothing”???) Anyways…. Nearly every day for the past few weeks that school has been in session, its been basically the same “worst part” for Boo. It has been heartbreaking to listen to. I was angry. I was frustrated. Now, I am just sad. My son is being bullied at school. (He’s not the only one, but that…

A Post Title I'm Really Proud of
Today is Day 3 of SITS “Back to Blogging Event”, and today’s assignment is to share a post whose title I’m really proud of. To be honest, my favorite title is still in the “Drafts Column” – which means I really, really need to get that bugger posted. It was a tough call. One of my favorite post titles was “Bunnycide“, but the one I chose? Motherhood is a Blessing. Right? I love my kids. I really do. But somedays (like every morning at 8am) they can drive me absolutely mad. Cuckoo. Nutso. And, really, when I say “they”, I mean Pea. (I’m just trying to stay fair and not…

Flashback
So, in my last post, I took a look back at my very first blog post from May 2008 – which left me browsing through a few other early posts…. ….and came across one where Boo, then 4, was having constant meltdowns and we were having some major power struggles. Huh. And then another one, where we were having daily battles about…yup…shoes. Both topics are familiar to me, as I have the same conversations (and a few similar blogposts) about Pea. Why I didn’t remember this, I don’t know. (Maybe its like childbirth – you forget the pain so that you do it again….) Been there, done that, bought the…
