Picture by numbers

My favorite fall tradition is taking pictures for our annual "Aren't our kids more beautiful that your kids" Christmas card.

Let me break down this tradition for you:

2004 - I got my first digital camera. I took 214 photographs of my uber-cute toddler and over-the-top precious baby. I got one - ONE - where they are both looking clean, neat, at the camera and there's not one single blur.

2005 - I took my precious darlings to a local park to feed the ducks. I took 398 photographs. None - ZERO - ha...

Poor, decoration-less baby

Halloween is quickly approaching, and we aren't decorated yet. Prior to having children, our home looked like  Hobby Lobby threw up in it we had so many decorations. I had commercial decorations. I had homemade decorations. I had crafty decorations. I had retro decorations. I just had a lot of decorations. As The Daughters entered our lives, the decorations went by the wayside. Some were given away because they posed a choking/fire/disability/eating disorder hazard. Some were donated to...

Saturday in the park

I found myself home alone Saturday morning. This almost never happens. I began to write this post when Bo the Dumb Dog and JJ the Dumber Dog burst through the back room and invaded the living room. I set the computer down and dashed toward the wide-open front door just in time to be knocked down by them both as they made their way out into the neighborhood. Dumb dogs. "Dumb" wasn't the exact D word I used, but this is a family-friendly blog...

Do not let the innocent look deceive you.

Flashback Friday: I blame Aerosmith

I was a sophomore in college and my last Friday class was cancelled. This meant, I was headed home by 10:00 that morning. (Gawd, I miss college schedules!) I threw my laundry together and dug through my dorm room for twenty-five cents for tolls. I found five nickels. I grabbed my cassingle of "Janie's Got A Gun," and I headed home.

For most of the trip, I listened to the radio. My fave station, 106.9, played all the best songs: Rod Stewart's "Forever Young," Escape Clubs "Wild, Wild West,"and...

Innocence Lost

Last Easter, Daughter 2 came to terms with the reality of the Easter Bunny and Santa Claus. She, however, chose to believe in tooth fairy because the fairy's overwhelming job of buying teeth at night made her totally a believable myth. How else could we explain her tardiness and forgetfulness? Personally, I think we should cut her some slack. She does, after all, work a full-time job, maintain a home, cook healthy foods (quit laughing) and do hours of homework for which she gets no grade. She...

Conversation of the Week

In my own bed on a weekend morning.

Me: (with my back to The Dad) Hey you...
{deep breathing}
Me: Wanna snuggle? Wanna cuddle? Wanna smoosh like those crazy kids on Jersey Shore?
{interrupted breathing, rustling of sheets}
Me: Dude. Are you leaving me hanging? This is the best sexy talk I can muster this early.
Daughter 2: (wrapping her arms around my waist from the back) What's sexy talk, Momma?

I miss my friend

I miss my friend.  I was warned that she would ditch me once I had kids. The Dad warned me. My own momma warned me. Even my other momma friends admitted that she was a fair weather friend at best. They said as long as I had kids, my friend would avoid me like I had the plague. She was dubbed "The Plague of Motherhood."
The truth was that my babies were born and for the first few weeks, my friend did avoid me. Honestly, though, I thought nothing of it. I was hormonal; I was crank...
