Here’s to The Little Guy
June 20th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Dads, Family
Despite my love of Home Depot (most of the time) and Super Target’s with it’s great products and prices, I like to support The Little Guy when I can. I’d much rather shop locally, at a mom and pop store, than over the internet or at the big box stores. However, a budget-conscious mom can’t [...]

Maria graduated from kindergarten today. In the fall, during the first open house/teacher conference, Maria’s teacher told me, “I’d take a hundred Maria’s.” Within a few weeks of that, Maria had been “red-carded” several times and started a behavior chart to help keep her in line. Thankfully, it worked and she pretty much sailed through [...]

In honor of St. Paddy’s Day, the kids didn’t have to wear their uniforms to school today. I had to rush around this morning (’cause, you know, I like to plan ahead), after getting very little sleep last night, trying to find green for everyone. Or orange. (???) I did pretty well. Everyone had green [...]

Yesterday morning I had a doctor’s appointment. Thankfully, Bert* gets to use sick time to cover the kids for me when this happens. My appointment was early, so Bert took the kids to school so I could get a shower in beforehand. Bert has taken the kids to school before, so (despite my control-freak nature) [...]

Weekend Roundup

This weekend was an unusually busy one. We kicked things off with the whole, dog bloat-kid puking thing late Friday night. That was fun! On Saturday it snowed. Again. A lot. A FOOT. I had thought that we’d already seen as much at one time that we’d see. Ha. Oh, and we’re due more this [...]
