Proof that nothing is simple–this is how my kiddos “get ready” to go out and water the flowers

Just when I thought work couldn’t get any more dramatic….this week hit. Let’s see: I confronted my boss and told her she’s a liar, told her boss that she’s a liar and gave her cold hard proof, had the account manager call in sick every day and decide to take a leave b/c she’s emotionally [...]

Our weekends are usually filled with lots of “logistics”…..cleaning the house, doing laundry, grocery shopping, etc. This weekend we strayed from routine and spent Saturday out & about. My friend Denise from work volunteered to let the kids hang out with her while I went to meet friends at Archivers. Maricar was back in town [...]

SCRUBBED the kids bathroom, changed their shower curtain, gonna make some cute decorations for them. Cleaned Erin’s room from top to bottom (including [...]

Been trying to post this stuff since Wednesday–but either my computer or blogger has been shutting down whenever I try to upload photos. My money is on my computer since I keep getting virus alerts. Instead of being at his 6th Grade Promotion Ceremony, Adam was home sick. And he was really, really sick. He’s [...]

Adam: Mom, I know who you want to win on Idol.Me;: Oh yeah, how do you know that?Adam: Because when David Cook sings you keep telling us to be quiet, but when David Archuletta sings you don’t care if we’re being loud.
