Have one mommy who is working in the kitchen.
Add two little boys (Jude and Roegen) who are supposedly riding their big wheel and scooter in the garage (properly helmeted, of course).
Add in ominous silence and the realization that neither boy has asked for anything for at least twenty minutes.
Find garage empty.
Find only dogs in the [...]
“Mommy, come look!”
“What Jude?”
“I just had a really huge poop.”
“Good for you. That means you’re not full of poo.”
“It isn’t good.”
“Why not?”
“Because it’s so stinky. That’s why!”
If it smells so bad, why did he call me? But then, this is the child who was overjoyed when I got plug-in style air fresheners for his bedroom.
Today I’m going to talk about me. Okay, that is a bit misleading because this blog is all about me because sure, I talk about the boys, cats, dogs, and Scott, but everything is seen through my eyes and my perspective. But today I’m going to focus on my wants and dreams.
I don’t know if [...]
Scott and I like to joke that Roegen will be a sports commentator when he grows up. No matter what is going on, he has something to say about it. No one can get away with sneaking anything in this house, because if Roegen’s awake he’s got something to say about it.
“Jude in Breydon’s [...]

Who’s there?
Interrupting cow.
Interrupting co-
Moo!
Yes, I know it’s lame, but I’m sooooo busy. I have tons to share and yet the time escapes me. I’ll try to get something more substantial written very soon.
I had about 8 cloves that I drizzled with olive oil, set on a paper towel, and put in my microwave for 90 seconds. And then I stepped away to check a recipe that I have on my computer.
Before the microwave beeped Breydon came rushing into the room hollering “emergency, emergency, fire, fire, fire!”
He was [...]
Jude is adjusting to being home with Mommy and Roegen. I still field the occasional question about why he isn’t in school, but the thrill of playing with Captain in the garage, riding his scooter, visiting Grandma, coloring, digging for worms as weather permits, and all of the ways to spend time that he can [...]
Jude started kindergarten August 25. He was so proud before he headed out the door to the bus for the first time. He loves it.
He’s not ready.
Since school started Jude has been having numerous outbursts, crying fits, and has been experiencing challenges dealing with just about everything. Wrong color drinking glass? A tragedy to rival [...]
Roegen has been enjoying all of the one-on-one attention he is getting from me now that his older brothers are both in school. He loves being able to run into whichever room I’m in and give me the play-by-play on whatever he is up to now. Or thinking about getting up to. Or what the [...]
As is often the case in families with young children Scott and I aren’t able to connect physically as often as we’d like. Unlike the days before we had children we can’t do the horizontal tango without planning for it. Unfortunately, our youngest child has other plans.
I don’t know why it is but whenever Scott [...]
