This is it….the last night of summer break.  Samantha and I start school officially again tomorrow.  (I decided it was probably a federal offense to have school on Labor Day or something, so it worked to my benefit to not have to start on a Monday). I decided to also start Jake in Kindergarten.  No, [...]

I’ve spent much of Labor Day weekend in the attic.  The attic that you could only barely walk around in 3 days ago.  The attic that holds most of everything extra that Bald Man and I have accumulated in our adulthood (much of it childhood memorbilia that our parents wanted out of their houses).  The [...]

A conversation today between Jake, his best buddy from down the street (both age 4), and me (not 4): Jake: “It’s true, in real life, for real!!!” His little friend, A, to me: “Why does he always say that?” Me to her (A): “I don’t know. You should ask him.” A to Jake: “Why do [...]

What a difference a year makes. I remember writing this post and just feeling at my absolute end with Jake. I honestly didn’t know what to do, and then the threes came!!! (I have told you that the threes are worse than the twos, yeah?) Jake turned 4 today, and I’m amazed at how much [...]

I knew there was a reason I didn’t mention the birthday party that we were supposed to go to today. I mean, I was planning on taking the kids to the party, but I wasn’t telling them until we were on the way there. We never got to that part because when we went to [...]
