Well, here we are. The last day of school. Shit. Now, I love my kids. I really do. But I don’t think anyone loves the idea or the task of being home with THREE boys all day, everyday. All day with an 8, 6 and 2 year old? Ugh. Everyone annoys everyone, someone is always […]

Why not add a little more madness into the mix? Today is the first day of spring break, which will last all the way until next Tuesday. A lovely 11 days straight with all the kids. Now, I love my kids. But does that mean I want to be home with all 3 boys for

This week has been a massive variation of highs and lows, and I can honestly say I’m just so glad that it’s finally Saturday. And that I can’t wait for therapy on Tuesday. Overall, I’m feeling pretty okay this morning. I have the entire house to myself for a least a good few hours, and

The big kids are home from school today. That means I’ve got all 3 tiny monsters home all day while my husband is at work. Lucky him. It’s already been a morning, but we made it to nap time. That gives me 2-3 hours of one less tiny monster if I’m lucky. Phew. It’s just

Well, this same 2 year old decided

Well, here we are. The first day of school. My 7 year old is off to 2nd grade, and my 5 year old has officially started kindergarten. Phoenix, my 5 year old, woke up this morning screaming throughout the house BEST DAY EVER!!!!! in mantra format, so….I guess you could say he’s excited? He’s, um…well,
If I were to offer you one piece of advice this winter season…it would be that. To absolutely, do not get the flu. My mom tested positive Wednesday morning. I felt like crap when I woke up on Thursday. Had my husband swab me and test me (he works in a lab), and tested positive.
Don’t get the flu, and moms don’t get sick days. Read More »
Phewwwww. Well, we survived Christmas. Christmas Eve day was tough. And a bit triggering. But we got through it. I spent mostly all day wrapping gifts…as I hadn’t even started before then. It was nice to have something distracting to do on an otherwise extremely difficult day. The nighttime was spent building bikes for the
Glad that’s over, and I NEED that dime! Read More »
This morning is another surgery day. This time, for our 5 year old. It isn’t his first, and he’s more upset about having to be hungry (fast) than of being in the hospital. He’s having his adenoids taken out and his nose cauterized. He can literally never breathe, and we’re hoping this helps. His adenoids

Yesterday, Phoenix turned 5 years old. I don’t usually recycle words, but I do think I said it best yesterday. To my wild one, the child with more personality than should be allowed to exist in one single body, the most literal and hilarious person I’ve ever met, the child with ZERO filter…and the sweetest
