But NOT like that!
Look Mom! I did it all by myself! By the way, I used the whole tube. Is that okay?

Nora’s Mess of the Day
Today Nora discovered that nail polish is hard to get off skin. Of course, first she had to cover herself in it. She also coated the glovebox of my car. I used up all the fingernail polish remover trying to get that mess off. So while I did that, she and Sawyer attempted to wash […]

Valentine’s Mess of the Day
I refuse to buy Spongebob valentines for my kids to exchange. First of all, I can’t believe how much they cost. Secondly, I hate Spongebob and all that crap. So depending on my level of ambition, either the kids get crappy dollar store valentines to exchange or they make their own crappy valentines. This year […]

There’s an app for that
Screw Instagram. What I need is an app that blurs out my kids private parts in pictures. I am so sick of them doing adorable things of which I can’t take pictures because they are naked. I realize a simple solution would be clothes, but try talking my kids into it. For example:

Make threats. “I will throw away everything you own/make you sleep in the garage/you’ll flunk 3rd grade/Santa isn’t coming/we’re canceling our Disney trip we already paid for”. Spank. Make sure to leave a hand print or it won’t be […]

Happy Birthday Griffin!
Griffin turned 9 this weekend!!! Being 9 is difficult. Poor kid vacillates between acting very mature and struggling to control his emotions. One minute he’s acting so responsible and a few minutes later he is having a temper tantrum about his brother eating chips that are crunchy. The crunching noise drives Griffin crazy as does […]

Things I forgot about newborns
Maybe my memories about infanthood have been repressed? I don’t know, but I’m suddenly remembering all these things about newborns again. For example: They have “The Knack”. As soon as you pull that diaper away from their behind, the feces and urine start flowing. Boys can hit things 6 feet away. Hopefully your face is […]
