Mom FAIL Friday – The Tooth Fairy
Pin itI am thinking I may have enough material to make this a regular feature. *sigh* Here’s the skinny. My 6 year old daughter, Olivia lost a tooth last Saturday. As of last night (Thursday), the Tooth Fairy still hadn’t paid up. I explained her absence, Oh… I guess there have been LOTS of kids [...]
Oh dear, Jenny's been thinking again…
Pin itLast night I had to take my 6 year old daughter into the local urgent care. It seems my stellar skillz as mother are not at stellar as one might think. A wound on her arm (inflicted by beauty bark 4 days ago) grew to the size of a roma tomato between the hours [...]
My Son's Newfound Love of Alliteration
Pin itOh dear. I have ruined my son. My son is made out of Awesome. He is just like his mother. Not only does he crave order, controlled chaos, predictability… (but not cake — what’s that all about? I digress…) — he also loves alliterative titles…. Just like his Mama. You know this about me… [...]
Can I Get a Whutwhut?!
Pin itSo. My kids and Lisa’s kids were tearin’ up around the house last night. At dinner my 6-year-old, Olivia started callin’ out her homies… “Can I get a whutwhut?” And the other 4 holla’d back… “Whutwhut!” And I was all… I gotta get these kids on tape… except I don’t know how to just [...]
A scissor attack, Santa letters and a coffee sleeve.
Pin itSo. Today. I was hummin’ along, clip, clip, clippin’ down the big parts offa the little branch things from a bundle of non-organic *shame* grapes, and out of NO. FLIPPIN’. WHERE. the scissors ATTACKED my poor, cute, innocent little finger tip. Now, I am left typing without my left ring finger! You have no [...]
Kid notes.
Pin itThe things that drive me the most crazy about my son, are also the things that endear my heart to him everyday. He is intense and passionate, which sound good, unless things don’t work out the way he’d hoped. He is a planner. He is an “attention to detail” kind-of guy. He has been [...]
The Ingram Family meets a history lesson and does a craft.
Pin itI overheard this conversation between Joel and Olivia on our way to school a few days ago… I came in at the end: Olivia: PILGRIMS??? Joel: You don’t know what Pilgrims AAAAARRRRREEEEE!? Olivia: Nuh-uh. Joel: Oliveeeuhhh!!! The Pilgrims (!!!) came across on The CAULIFLOWER! Olivia: Oh. And it’s TOTALLY true! We have been fed [...]
And another punch to the chest, or ego… whichever.
Pin itI am a “stay at home mom”. Dooce has a humorous, yet “PG-13″ rated acrostic-of-sorts as her creative “title” for this highly esteemed role on her “about” page… My friend Jen created the You Might Be A Stay At Home Mom Saturday on her blog… which helps chronicle the moments that define us, overwhelm us, [...]
A family adventure: the corn maze
Pin itMy kids crack me up. My kids also make me cry. I am in a constant state of overwhelm when it comes to my offspring… the greatest of joys and the deepest of frustrations. Our outing to a local corn maze on Saturday was an extended time of joy for me as a mom. [...]
I'm sorry, another post about the life and times of Me.
Pin itI could write all about my wonderful children, but I am afraid the content would largely consist of the word “poop”, plus my 6 year old asked me not to blog about her issues that resulted in an x-ray and daily Miralax “cocktails”. While waiting for her x-ray she asked, “What are you going [...]
