Where Have I Been?

a) Frantically trying to keep up with the laundry which, as I shared with a couple of friends today, seems to be having babies when I put clothes in the hamper.
b) Still trying to accomplish the things on this list. I also added a couple of things to the list, and I AM going to [...]

Oh. My.

I really don’t know what else to say except to state the facts: an Indonesian woman gave birth to a 19 pound baby this week.  19 pounds. Let that sink in for a minute.  That’s a one-year-old (or, a 9 month old, in the case of one or more of my children).  Here’s a link [...]

Snippets

*We do not have a pet, and I do not foresee us getting one anytime soon.  However, I might be able to live with the ZhuZhu Pet hamster, described by one writer as “like a hamster without the mess and death.”  I like it!  Except, apparently, they’re already hard to find.  Sorry, kids.  Maybe we’ll [...]

Public Service Announcement: Cell Phone Charges

Ok, folks, go grab your cell phone bill…I’ll wait.
Back? Great. Look carefully over your charges. Is there one from a company called “m-qube”? Or potentially a horoscope charge? It’s probably $9.99. And you probably didn’t authorize it.
Matt and I bought new phones last weekend, and in doing so, took [...]

Well, This Isn’t Good.

Just saw this article about certain boys’ names and their likelihood of ending up a criminal.
Check out paragraph three:
In alphabetical order, the Top 10 “bad boy” names, according to Kalist, are Alec, Ernest, Garland, Ivan, Kareem, Luke, Malcolm, Preston, Tyrell and Walter.
What?!?!? He’s practically doomed to a life of crime.

Commercials…

I love this commercial (even though I hate the product being advertised…maybe because I didn’t eat it growing up? But it grosses me out.). Love the mom in this spot, though.

And I heard this commercial on the radio the other night, and just loved it. Click here to [...]

Catching Up

So many random thoughts to share…
On moving day for Zach and Michon:
-I didn’t take ANY pictures yesterday…bummer. Will was adorable as always, and it’d been nice to take a picture of me with the boys since it was Mother’s Day and all, but it didn’t happen.
-They are all moved in! Not settled, but [...]

Checking Out

It’s been a whirlwind of a week, it seems, and the rest isn’t going to be any better. And I’m a little bit crabby on top of that because I’m tired. Just for fun, to finish up the week, the boys have 8am dental appointments tomorrow…oh, yay. Jack Henry the stroller-hater will [...]

Also, if you aren’t a reader of Cake Wrecks, you should be. It’s hilarious. I can’t believe there are so many horrible “professional” cakes out there. I thought [...]

Frazzled.

Today’s crazy. We’re heading to Effingham in a few short hours, and no one is packed, though I’m working on it. We have to go to Sam’s Club this morning. I desperately need a shower. Jack Henry’s toddling around in only a diaper, and he keeps closing himself in the bedrooms [...]
