Mothering fail
I’m home with the kids today - took an extra day off so I wouldn’t have to go right to work. Kids are outside. I see my oldest… Riding his bike, with no training wheels. Well.
I’m a failure as a mother.
My oldest can ride a two-wheeler. Nobody thought that I would like to know. This [...]
My Pain in the Neck
The evidence that Logan, is indeed, a pain in the neck. I took this yesterday morning, while it was still dark. The flash didn’t make him even stir. That, right there, is MY side of the bed. The pillow on the floor to the side is mine. It goes, you know, where his feet are. [...]
Conversations with an 8 Year Old
Joseph (after bath): When can I sleep naked in my own bed?
Poe: dear caught in headlights
Poe: Jeopardy theme music plays
Poe: lightbulb appears over head
Poe: You can sleep naked in your own bed if and when you feel comfortable running into the street naked if there’s a fire.

Joseph: Oh.
Happy Birthday, Logan
I’m not sure what to say to you on your 6th birthday… You’re quite a character.
Everything you like… “It’s my Favorite!” Even if you said that about something else not a minute prior.
You’re giving. You’re loving. You’re sneaky… Stop sneaking into your brother’s room to steal his toys in the night, [...]
Conversations
It’s no secret that we’re a Christian family. So - discussions about God come up on a regular basis.
This stemmed from a conversation in which Joseph wanted to know how many times he’d been in the hospital, in the car, on the way to school, with one small measly cup of coffee in me.
Joseph: [...]
Comment Question 3

Steph asked (and I’m not linking to the Steph I know who reads. I figure if she wanted me to, she would have put the link in the comment, so I’m leaving it out on this one.)

How to do K twice?
So.
Logan is going to be repeating Kindergarten. It is the right move for him, and have no problems with this. And he (and his brother) are adjusting well to that idea. He is simply delayed and “younger” due to his heart condition.
Here’s my dilemma. The STUFF. For example, do I use this year or next [...]
Why L.A. can #Suckit!
I had to drive my parents to San Pedro today. They’re cruisin’ and I had to drop them off. Logan came with.
My father drives there - old man that he is. I just pretend not to notice that he still thinks 55 is the speed limit (so he goes 50. on the freeway.)
We get there. [...]
Birthday Boy
Dear Joseph…
Today, at around 4:35 am, you turned 8 years old. You know as well as I do that the last couple of years have been rough on us, my boy. But - we’re slowly getting through it.
I’m your mom. I love you. I always will. And yes, more than [...]
motherhood, I wish I knew
I was originally going to write this for a blog blast on another blog of mine. Except then I realized I didn’t need the prize - it was for munchkin babies and my kids are too old. But I’d already written the post and apparently had something to say. So, here it is.
You know… There [...]
