So far, the girls (not me, I’m too old to be included in that category and I’m a Mom, which means I don’t deserve fun) are winning the summer fun contest. Sarah is still at Lee University which means she doesn’t have any chores or sibling assistance this week. She has filled up most of […]
Last week, the 5 best places to eat in your area meme was everywhere. It even made the online version of our local newspaper. Although Doug and I were tagged multiple times, we didn’t have anything to add to the great foods discussion. Taking our family out causes chaos from the moment the staff see […]

Sarah (who ended the year with straight A’s for the 6 weeks and overall averages, btw) is gone for a week off from younger siblings. She is at Lee but there aren’t any pictures posted yet. Noah is lost in Guitar Hero Land. Tommy stayed up all night playing WoW and is now hibernating. After […]

That said, I would really have liked to see more come from the Calypso character. That was a bit anti-climactic. […]
So far today, Amy has had minor meltdowns over spilled milk and a missing doll. Evan has the hold-me’s and I may explode if Doug doesn’t bring the car home soon. Based on Amy’s behavior, I need to internalize my anxiety more and express it less. How to implode instead of explode: Not eating regularly […]
