This month has been insane. I haven’t slowed down enough to even think about writing more than once a week, if that. You know how they say “you can’t pour from an empty cup”? Well yesterday my cup ran dry. Back to back weeks of sickness raging through our house coupled with stress at workContinue reading “My Empty Cup”

Superhero Names
Crazy Eyes never ceases to stir up the creativity and weirdness in our house. An offhand comment by her sparked a long, ridiculous family conversation about what superheroes we all are. I couldn’t have made this up if I tried. Overall I feel like we’re a pretty bad ass team guaranteed to strike fear intoContinue reading “Superhero Names”
6 Ways Toddlers Are Like Drunks
Raising young toddlers makes me feel bad for all of the people who had to take care of me when I was a stupid, drunk college student. Rest assured, Dear Friends, that it’s coming back to me two-fold. They are like belligerent little drunkards at all times. What do I mean? Here are some examples:Continue reading “6 Ways Toddlers Are Like Drunks”
Missed Exits
This weekend while we were headed out of town the Hubs and I switched roles. Usually he drives and I keep him awake by asking him stupid questions and reading fun facts off the internet. Our last trip involved a 45 minute long discussion/research session on the topic of Sloths. This time I agreed toContinue reading “Missed Exits”
Ghosts of Hobbies Past
When I was pregnant I called my Dad crying one night because I was so afraid that after I had the Twins I’d get lost in them and not be able to find myself. He told me I’d figure it out and that it would all be okay. I see now that he was rightContinue reading “Ghosts of Hobbies Past”
Part of the Club
Going out with the twins is always an adventure. Sometimes it feels like we’re sideshow freaks. Strangers see me with the girls and laugh and say they’ll pray for us. They comment on how cute or little they are. They say things like “better you than me!” Once a little boy told me I “mustContinue reading “Part of the Club”
Saturday Shocks
I’d put the girls down for a nap and was about to get into the tub when one of them really amped up the screaming. The Hubs asked me to go check on them before I got into the bath. His Daddy senses must have been tingling because when I went into the room IContinue reading “Saturday Shocks”
The Moms Who Made Me
I have been so incredibly blessed to have many strong women who’ve served as “Moms” in my life. A blanket shout out just doesn’t seem like enough. So here they are, the women who made me, me: 1) My Mom: This woman is and has always been my rock. At 18 she was more braveContinue reading “The Moms Who Made Me”
Poop Story Double Feature: Part Two, Everybody Poops
Ya’ll, I’m telling you I don’t know what happened to my family but it was bad. Maybe the planets aligned or someone put a hex on me. Whoever has my Voodoo Doll needs to give it a back rub and say they’re sorry for this one because it was just rude. Not two days afterContinue reading “Poop Story Double Feature: Part Two, Everybody Poops”
A Minute Longer
Dear Tiny Conqueror, You’re fussy tonight. You have a diaper rash, a new tooth, and your sister woke you up. Of course, she settled back down quickly but you’re my finicky sleeper. My dinner is getting cold on the stove as I hold you and settle you down. It’s easy to forget that you andContinue reading “A Minute Longer”
