Tyke has recently informed me that I am the worlds best mommy, except for a friend of mine, because she's pretty and not as chubby.  TYVM ( Read more... )

I am so completely slacking when it comes to reading.  Oye.  I mean, it's not as if I'm not busy enough with 4 kids playing 6 sports and managing a 7th, but still.  I think part of it is, I just can't relax enough at my parents house...even when it's "quiet" I'm still on edge.  I can't wait until we get out of there! It should (cross you fingers) ( Read more... )

Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman. An urban fantasy story set in modernish time London.  Very alice in wonderlandish. The bad guys were icky-bad but they had such good character that I found myself smiling at them and couldn't actually bring myself to dislike them. Good read.  I'd rate it a 4.

Oh, I must share Khrissy's dumbness with you!  We saw Avatar ( Read more... )

I just remembered a cute little story.  Couple days after Christmas, I took Devin, Spencer and Devin's un-boyfriend, Nate, to the movies and dinner at Sherri's (think Denny's or any 24-hour restaurant).  Mid-dinner the following dialog ensues ( Read more... )

Tyke and Devin were wrestling around this weekend while I was getting owned playing the Wii. I told Tyke he wasn't supposed to hit his sister, he was supposed to love on her. So he curls up in her lap all sweet and innocent like, wraps his arms around her, squeezes and pats her back. Then he looks up at me and says "Can I kick her ass now ( Read more... )

I feel like whatever animal that is on Lion King that solemnly says "It starts". I think it was Timon, but I'm not positive ( Read more... )

Talk about a long weekend, sheesh.  Anothony, Spencer and the girls were all in the YakAttack, a 5 on 5 soccer tournament this weekend.  It's honestly my favorite tournament of the year, it's just so much fun!  We had a total of 9 games on Saturday and 10 games on Sunday. As if that weren't enough to keep us on our toes, Devin also marched in the ( Read more... )

LJ's Q of the day reminded me of these little things.

*My BFF called to tell me that her daughter auditioned and was picked to sing in a school talent show.  Apparently, this school show is so big they can't just take anyone who wants to do it.  This scares me.  Why? because I was in a talent show once....it didn't go well.  In fact, I still have ( Read more... )

My girls are at that age where they are starting to notice boys in ways that make touch football a sport no longer played in our yard. :-)  We've had a few talks about boys, sex, changes in bodies, etc. As usual, Khrissy is enthralled and wants to know everything, while Devin sits there rolling her eyes and/or blushing profusely and exclaiming how ( Read more... )

Khrissy will be 13 on friday....I'm too damn young to have a teenage daughter and at the same time I feel so fucking old. LOL  Devin will be 13 in July.  Oye.  My two girls couldn't be more opposite, in damn near every aspect of their lives.  Khrissy is my girly-girl, and her body has embraced puberty rather well.  She's tall, curvy and ( Read more... )
