There are things you just don’t think about when you are lucky enough to have another child.  You think of the big things like school, money, room in the house, but the little things turn out to be the most interesting.  When our first son was born it was rather easy to go out as [...]

I think since last Friday an extra day was added. It felt like at least 8 days, “Eight Days A Week.” With a sick 3yo and a baby cranky from shots the last few days have been really long. Last night ended with a few Captain and Cokes, a long hot shower [...]

Last night I was too tired to blog.  Did I just say that?  We had a bit of a busy day with the baby having his 2 month appointment and 3yo getting checked out since he has been sick.  I thought I was going to have to bring all three boys with me, but a [...]

T’was the Night Before The Vasectomy.

T’was the night before my Vasectomy, when all through the house

Not a creature was stirring, except my computers’ mouse;

The children were nestled all snug in their beds,

While visions of spring break danced in their heads;

And mamma in her ’sweats, and a baby in her lap,

Had [...]

Again I got woken up with 3yo not happy and still feeling a bit under the weather.  Once again I got couched.  It was that or spend the night with two feet kicking me in the head, back, legs or where ever he ends up.  So the day started badly at 1:30 AM.  The morning [...]

Well yesterday 3yo got hit with a cold like a ton of bricks. From noon until after 5:00 the only time he stopped yelling, complaining or crying was when he was either in the bath or in the van. So he took a long bath and we took a long car ride. [...]

When it rains it pours, floods and makes everything unpleasant.  The weekend was busy as usual with too much to do and too little time as always.
Saturday 
I had my ESL Workshop in the morning so I had to make sure I got up and moving.  I was actually a little slow since we are all [...]
