Lacking Inspiration

So, generally I try to make this blog entertaining.   I was reading recently (Hi, Carrie) that there are different types of Mom blogs.  There’s the one where Mom spills her guts and tells you how she’s feeling all the time.  There’s the one that’s supposed to be funny and centers mainly around hilarious poop stories, [...]

This totally counts

Can’t post now.  I’m having an evening of Xmen movie geekery with my brother.  I did want to come on here, however, and point out my mother’s comment from yesterday.  I’ve been here three months and have the woman using the word “totally.”  3 to 1 when I give her the photo she uses the [...]

Final Score: Matt kicked our butts.

Ok.  If this is your first time checking in today, you need to scroll down and read parts 1 and 2 of the Easter’09 saga.  We’ll wait.
All caught up?  Good good.  That brings us to…
Part Three: Newland Easter.
Newland Easters start like non-Newland Easters.  There’s a ham.  And deviled eggs.  Jello.  Rolls.  This year there was [...]

NaBloPoMo FAIL

Yeah, yeah, yeah.  I said every day, and only made it eleven.  Pathetic.  Here’s what I have to offer you:
 
Excuses -
It was a long day.  A long weekend.  After putting the kiddos to bed, I collapsed on the couch to watch a movie.  There was plenty of time after the movie ended to blog.  Unfortunately, [...]

Hippity, hoppity, Easter’s on it’s waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay!

In seven short hours the kids will be waking up to find their baskets.  Due to the fact that the EB is particularly crazy and mean in this house, their baskets will be filled with things like toothbrushes and band-aids (What?  They have Spider-Man on them!)  After that it’s off to Grandma’s to look for [...]

Karma. She’s a b…..

This morning, V whacked Jonas with her video game because he was trying to take it from her.  A *slightly* over the top response, and something that Karma no doubt took notice of.
This afternoon, I gave her a horrible no good very bad bangs trim.  I think I took off a full two inches.  I’m [...]

A brief glimpse…

* I miss Joe so much, some days I don’t want to eat/move/speak/get out of bed.  If I don’t keep moving, if I let us lay around for too long, it gets really hard to get back up.  Constant stream of activities – that’s the ticket to sanity.
 
* Today the apartment complex was testing their [...]

The best part was she didn’t believe me.

What do you get when you take two kids, let them roller skate/scooter around the lake, take them to the park and let them eat pizza on the move while they climb and slide and chase each other and swing and run, then put them in the car for 20 min.  Give up?  Here’s a [...]

Fake post

Yeah.  It’s 11pm, I have no plan for a post, I’m tired, I’m not feeling particularly witty….  time for pictures.
 

When you have pics like this, do you really need a lot of text?

Please note: While posing by the fountain in the mall Violet is capable of staying dry.  Jonas?  Not so much.  How does he [...]

Perfecting the guilt trip

Violet has a new weapon in her arsenal.  Being a pain the ass has worked well for her, but now she’s decided to try something new.  Something different.  Something I consider quite advanced for her age.
Being a martyr.
I told them not to do something, she did it anyway, exactly what I said would happen happened, [...]
