Old McDonald had a farm…

And then he says, “Hey, Mommy, look! Old McDonald’s! I want french fries.” It’s funny to hear the connections, correct or otherwise, that kids make. [...]

Her teeth are falling out…

Posted in Kid Stories, Life, Momentous Occasions on July 20, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

So, after the freak out yesterday (and the day before, and the day before that…), my daughter lost her first tooth! Gross, I know. But pretty cool, too. You can see some of my thoughts on it here at Play Library. It is amazing, because it was almost 5 years ago to the week (give [...]

She’s freakin’ me out!!!!!!!!!

Posted in Kid Stories, Life, Momentous Occasions on July 20, 2006 | 5 Comments »

I can be a squeamish at times, I know. And now, so does Samantha. And she’s using this information against me. I thought my biggest hurdle as a parent (at least in the early years. I refuse to think about teenagers, yet) would be vomit. Can’t stand the sight of it, smell of it, sound [...]

Happy Birthday…

Posted in Life on July 18, 2006 | 6 Comments »

Today is my Dad’s birthday. He would have been 56. He died a bit over two years ago. It’s a strange feeling to go through a week, looking through your plans, and to know that something is coming up, but you just can’t quite figure out what. And even as you look at all that [...]

“I’m a mean Mommy” OR “Creative Parenting”

Posted in Kid Stories, Life on July 14, 2006 | 5 Comments »

So, two nights ago, I made a roasted chicken, mashed potatoes and gravy (instant, b/c I still can’t seem to make mashed potatoes from actual potatoes.

Squirts…

Posted in Kid Stories on July 13, 2006 | Leave a Comment »

No, no, not that kind. No flu bugs here. I’m referring to those skirt/short things that allow your front half to feel feminine and pretty, while the back half of you is ready to go hiking. Yes, yes, I know. They’re called skorts, but my 5 year old’s translation of them is “squirts.” She loves [...]
