I’ve documented some of our bad driving habits here and here. Oh yes and here. And then, my friends, my four-year-old son went driving. And HOLY CRAP. That kids road rage is PHENOMENAL. (which pretty much means that my road rage is phenomenal. or Scott’s. oh yeah, let’s blame Scott.) If you can’t see the [...]

Sometimes I can’t shake the uneasiness. Sometimes I create the uneasiness. Sometimes I need someone to the laugh when I hurl curses.

I turn on my car and this comes on. I stare at it. What part of the car is this trying to explain? Is it the battery? Is it a Snork? If it IS a Snork, what is AllStar Seaworthy trying to tell me? That there’s an underground colony of small creatures who wear clothing [...]

Monday is FINALLY here! But I’m NOT. Because once a month, I’ll be writing for Richmondmom.com! (This is my big announcement from last week by the way.) This month I’m writing about how I managed to cover my children in lollipop, poop and paint all in one day. This kinda talent doesn’t grow on trees [...]

And I am blown away by my children and the extraordinary changes they’ve undergone. (Although I’m pretty sure E isn’t wearing pants in either shot. Maybe next year?) September 21, 2009 [...]

Last week, my son and his friend were all standing in the middle of this circle of tables (that I forgot to take a picture of so instead used crayons and markers to illustrate the scene of the crime). The head of the school came over and asked them to come out. She explained: The [...]

As we all remember, I have three cats. Quick review since even my friends forget my cats’ names: Loki (norse god of mischief and fire) looks like he ate the fourth cat but probably just laid down and tried to get the other cat to rub his belly. Juno (goddess of women and jealousy) is [...]
