Why is my eldest acting like a teenager? She is not a teenager. She is a couple years shy. A couple years and one month.
she’s sulking today about the party we are to attend tomorrow. Part of it my be her lingering disappointment that she’s missing a visit with her Auntie J, but that’s not [...]

The girls’ lemonade stand was a success. They were good planners, and took care of everything on their own. They forgot something from the store, and E went right back out and got it, bringing back little 5 cent candies for each of the 4 kids as a treat.
They earned approx $20, which I thought [...]

Beloved just remarked that I am a “better person” than he, because I have 4 girls in my care today. Four real girls — not my 2 girls acting like weird people I don’t know. Each of my girls have a friend over.
But this is not a problem. This is better than it would be [...]

I have blogged in the past about my ex-mother-in-law. She bugs me. No secret. She is really freaking annoying, and I never liked her.
Notice, however, that I never speak of my current mother-in-law. Or sister-in-law. Or father-in-law. Or brothers-in-law.
I’ve never met them. Not in person, that is. [...]

J’s BFF stopped by today. Her sister and E are also friends, so there were 4 girls very happy to see each other. Beloved and I chatted with their dad about our respective summer travels. One fun tidbit to share:
Zuska, you are noticeably more relaxed and upbeat now that the bar exam [...]

J did not need shots. She deserves a break like this, since she’s really in turmoil over the braces. Poor kid. She wants her teeth fixed, but is not happy about all she has to go through in the meantime. She is actually quite stressed.
J’s BFF just returned from a several-week vacation, which overlapped with [...]

Not as in sneakiness. As in making things.
The other day, I took E and a friend to the Clayroom. I believe these places exist all over the country - where you go and decorate cups, mugs, dishes. I used to think they were pottery places, and I think their name infers that. [...]

Today, I am resting a little. I am home alone. Beloved’s at work, the girls are up the street, singing their hearts out and playing with friends. I am not at the gym, because I didn’t do laundry and because I found myself overwhelmed yesterday. Also, I needed a day off, because the elliptical was [...]

I think I’ve hit it. The point that I knew would come, sooner or later. It’s here now. I’m not sure the timing is so hot. Even though I orchestrated it to be exactly this way.
I am sick of being home. I am running out of patience for my kids, and my tolerance level (as [...]

This morning, I had a hard time waking up. I just felt so tired. I could not imagine pulling myself and my bag together to go to the gym, but as I have found in the past, having kids forces you to get up and get moving anyway, so you may as well [...]
