Yep, I've been tagged by Mom and pop Culture (beeyotch!) and -- since I seem to be stuck with the housework from hell -- it's either scream, "No mas, no mas!" and throw myself in front of a school a bus (or) submit to the power of three. And since I would really like to stay around...long enough to see my children grow up...or at least until I learn who the next American Idol will be...**cough**CHRIS ROCKS!**cough**...I choose the later! (1) Three things you'd like to SEE in your lifetime, whether or not you think it's likely. 1. America switching... Read more →

My husband and I went out to dinner with a bunch of his "worker friends" (that's what our Little Man calls his co-workers) and -- though the weather was very stormy -- we had one of the most enjoyable evenings since, well, can I just say that...it's been a very long time. Honestly, I can't remember the last time we smiled, laughed and felt as relaxed or even touched each other as much as we did this passed cold, rainy Saturday night. It's not easy for us to find the time to spend together -- let alone having to shareÂ... Read more →

Holy Crap...but, I seem to have gotten myself stuck inside closets, dressers and under beds for the past few days -- don't even get me started on the overflowing "to be filed" letter box located somewhere to the left of the stack of sticky notes and strategically placed over a stain, yet to be identified -- or, perhaps you haven't noticed. I have been busy, though...no...really. But, not as much as my friends, namely Mr. and Mrs. Prescott Carlson, over at The Imperfect Parent. They have launched their website's re-design this week and -- though it's always been a happy...

The ironic thing about going away with children -- besides the fact that my husband and I, after investing in a portable dvd player for the first time, foolishly allowed ourselves to enjoy the quiet and be lulled into a false sense of security in believing that our four children would actually cooperate with each other...stupid parents -- is how quickly our expectations of a fun family vacation seem to differ to that of our kids. I mean, we don't get away all that often -- and Washington D.C. is absolutely beautiful this time of year -- could you really... Read more →

Because I'm feeling tired, cranky, and irritable from doing way too much stuff -- like I've got diaper rash right down to my knees, or something -- while everyone else is like...so...you know...not! [getting tapped on shoulder and turning off vacuum] "WHAT!" [nervously looks around empty room] "Um...sweets...uh...why are doing that...like...now?" [frowns while scratching at an underground zit on chin] "Because I want to finish, I don't want to have to do it again, tomorrow, and this friggin' carpet's FILTHY!?!" [steps back a bit before answering] "But...um...the carpet guys are going to rip it up  anyway, and isn't it... Read more →
