Attacked By Geese! And Homeschooling???
After I picked Troy up from school, we went home, packed up a lunch, and met friends at Antioch Park. I love Antioch Park. We spend hours there and still have to drag ourselves away. We sat at a picnic table and ate our lunch, and then we set the kids free to play at [...]
Raising a Little Girl
After raising three boys, raising a little girl is like having a new baby for the first time all over again! There are so many differences between the two genders. This morning, Derek and Ashley got up after I got the other two boys off to school. I immediately fed them breakfast, had them brush [...]
Fart Noises
I could tell Jason had not had the best day at school yesterday, but when I asked him how his day was, I got the usual, “Good.” I tried digging a little, but all I got were some details about his math assignment and that he got to play the Star Wars theme song in [...]
Star Wars Still Rules
I remember learning to play the Star Wars theme song on the recorder in music class when I was in 1st, 2nd, or 3rd grade. My husband and I can still recite to this day the numbers that represented the notes. I had a crush on Luke Skywalker, wanted to snuggle with the Ewoks, [...]
A Year Since Derek Was Hit By A Car
A year ago today, our son was hit by a car, and our lives changed in a very drastic and dramatic way. I had put Ashley down for her afternoon nap, and piled Jason and Derek into the car to go pick up Troy from preschool. Jason didn’t work that day, so he was home [...]
Dogs, Clogs, and Date Night Dialogue
The day started out pretty normal. I got the boys up and ready for school, came home and had my essential cup pot of coffee. Derek and Ashley got up soon after, and so I fed them and got them ready for the day. Jason’s car has some sort of metal on metal grinding sound, [...]
Court Date
So I thought I was going to court today for the third and final time in regards to the puppy debacle. I left the house at 2:40, went to get Jason out of school 15 minutes early, and headed off to court. I had all four kids with me again, so I was nervous. I [...]
Troy’s Birthday
On Friday, we celebrated Troy’s Birthday. It was pretty fun, actually! As usual, I had put off shopping for his gifts until the last minute, so I ended up taking him, Derek, and Ashley to the store with me. I brought blankets and explained to Troy that he could show me all the things he [...]
Ashley Emerges From the Dark to the Light
Among all the craziness of grocery shopping, fixing the toilet, school, and frantic poll watching, I received a phone call informing me that Ashley’s glasses were ready. While I was putting all the groceries away, Jason was fixing our non-flushing toilet (Thank God). Troy was in there with him, helping him and pestering him with [...]
