My almost 4 year old daughter and my niece go to ballet class together. Every Monday my Sister and I take turns driving these little 40 year old women trapped in 3 year old bodies to class. This week was my turn. This is how pick up went.
Dance teacher tells me, ” I am thinking [...]

Well I am a little bummed, I was trying to keep track and do something special when it came time to post my 1,000th post. But it came and went and I missed it! So in honor of my 1008th post I am re-posting my 3rd post that I ever did!
Makes total sense right? [...]

Our oldest son had his first choir concert for junior high last night. Are we really this old? When did we have a kids old enough to be in junior high? The really freaky thing is that he is going to the same junior high that I did!
This is my Mom trying to give him [...]

I love it when the kids have a day off school! Even thought the weather was a little cloudy and rainy we still had fun!
I “ran” by the Coach outlet “on the way” to see if I could use the Coach coupon that expired Monday. Unfortunately I didn’t find anything that I HAD to [...]

This is our little Christmas last year. We really need a bigger tree, it reminds me of the one from Charley Brown. It is better than the one we had a few years ago. Wal-Mart had some really pretty trees for a good price, so we grabbed one the beginning of December. I was so [...]

No more complaining about bad photos.
No more complaining about not getting video of giveaway drawings.
I have a new secret weapon…
I finally got it.
My Nikon D90, it is beautiful!
This is the back…
This is a side view…
And, just incase you needed another look, this is the front.
What does this mean for you?
More pictures of [...]

For a while now I have been thinking about doing some restaurant reviews. I think that we really have a unique dining perspective. When you review restaurants for a living or for a news article you don’t usually dine with 6 children, I think this makes us uniquely qualified as I have noticed and entirely [...]

Wow, I am totally bummed. I am calling discrimination on this one. The fine print says, “must be a U.S. resident, 18-30 years of age and 5′8 inches in bare feet”. I mean, not only do I not qualify in the age range but I am only 5′2 inches tall. In heels.
I was really looking [...]

Seriously? The weather is messing with my head. We have had a lot of rain lately but much cooler weather. Yea! Today, I leave at 8am for baseball, and a few softball games and it is so darn humid and hot, we are back up into the 90’s today. What the heck?
We are in the [...]

Do you like word problems?
I hate them. But lets try one anyway.
Two parents have put their 6 children to bed. It is almost 11pm and the parents are getting ready for bed when the Mother (the smart one) realizes a sticky situation ahead.
1. Son has to be at football practice at 6:30am.
2. Husband has [...]

I posted a little post HERE a while ago about one of my kids who catches flies. Live. With her fingers. Strange, I know.
We call her Little Miss Miyagi.
Cue, cool Karate Kid music…
Anyway, I told her to go clean up the playroom the other day and I found her, playroom uncleaned, working intently [...]

This baby has nothing to do with the post, I just think he is darling….
Thankfully he has grown into his ears!
This is a question from Tracy and I think people have asked me this before and I have not understood what they were asking!
So, you do shop with your binder? I am still embarrassed to [...]

My husband just got home from work… he stole my son’s half used bottle of Pert this morning and drove 20 miles out of his way into downtown to first a Nordstroms, only to find out they weren’t doing the free shampoo. Then to have to re park and pay for parking, again, at Saks [...]

A year ago today my front yard looked like this… Two of my big beautiful trees had fallen during hurricane Ike.
We hadn’t let enough water out of the pool, the back of the house almost flooded due to the pool overflowing.The week before we knew it was coming and set out to get the house [...]

Tonight we had a family meeting, you know the kind. You sit the children on the couch and call the meeting to order. The older ones heads almost spin completely around and they start to spew green vomit, the minute you mention the words “family meeting” but you venture on anyway.
Once seated you start [...]
