All boys slept through the night, Mom has had a shower, there’s a chill in the morning air, eggs & bacon for breakfast and I’ve had my coffee. So much yesssss on this mid September morning!

I will call this little segment “Driving Back Late at Night with Three Little Boys” Josh: “Mom, can you turn up the music?” Me: “No, daddy and I would like to talk to each other.” *3 seconds of silence* Dave: “You didn’t say that with much conviction. I don’t think you really mean that.” Dave: […]

Been teaching Josh the rules of the road. Now he’s piping up from the back seat “MOM! YOU GOTTA STOP!!!!!!” And “GO MOMMMMM!!!!!!” He’s also giving me his opinion on what I should do on a yellow. I AM DEBATING WITH A THREE-YEAR-OLD ON MY DECISION MAKING AT A YELLOW LIGHT. People, this sums up […]

I have a new strategy for keeping Sam from destroying the house when I’m occupied with the baby. Ya’ll ready for this? Okay, I stick him in the same room with Joshua and play off of Joshua’s need for justice. The second Sam steps out of line, Josh tattles on him. I reward Josh’s bad […]

How I knew it was going to be a great day: this morning when, through my half-slitted eyes of infant sleep-deprivation, I saw not one, but TWO of my dear neighbors waving huge waves and big smiles as I passed them on the way out of the neighborhood. Jackie Nabozny (George) and Katie Gartman-Morocco. I […]

If you need me, I’ll be writing a song entitled “No One Naps Here Anymore.” What genre? Oh, it’s Country. You know, one of those where you dog died, then your truck died the next day. Just kidding. It’s way sadder than that. More like a funeral dirge. Think Mozart’s Requiem. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0T7eMctuJLQ

Today, I played in the rain with my 2 year old. We were both sopping wet after a few hours but stomping in puddles and watching wildlife on a very rare July morning might be the best thing Sammy and I have done together this year.
