This Crazy Mom’s Life

One kid takes a day off….mom will work twice as hard!

September 15, 2011

Let me apologize in advance for the possible lack of posts today.  My little sweetie has hurt her leg and had x-rays last night.  She is confined to the sofa and cannot do chores today.  What a shame!  The doctor thought it was soccer related but I think it stems from me looking at the checkbook and [...]

Signs you need a break…..

August 26, 2011

Your kids have put more miles on the back of your flip-flops than you have. Plus you are still wearing the electric blue toe-nail polish from the last sleepover over you hosted.  That’s me right now. You pretend to be worldly and discuss the news with your husband on date night and all you can come up [...]

Friday Fun

June 24, 2011

Perhaps the least frugal idea I have had lately was to buy my daughter a hamster.  What sparked the idea was that I saw a cage marked down to $3 while we made our trip to the pet store (aka free “zoo” trip). Since we don’t have any pets this is always exciting for the [...]

Friday Fun- All About Two Year Olds

June 10, 2011

What a week!  This boy is keeping me on my toes:) It’s never BORING with a two year old around…….. The fact that this keeps happening is Mother Nature’s way of saying it’s time to potty train already. An episode of Jake and The Pirates had a rock about to roll over the pirates which he [...]

Friday Fun-Spring Break

Jake asked me to take a picture of the polar bears butt this morning. I don’t know why but he seemed pleased when I did it. Math Problem.  There are 5 computers in the house, 2 lap-tops, 3 desk tops. There is one in my daughter’s room that has a printer but cannot get online. [...]

Henry IV

March 29, 2011

In the path of those that have come before him, this little guy found his way into the basement window today.  I think a few of them have been there more than once but they start to look alike after awhile. I guess it was better to find him stuck in the window than scratching to get [...]

March 25, 2011

While I vaguely recall the kids receiving these from a relative or store clerk or possibly paramedic, I was thinking at the time, Thank Goodness It’s Not Candy.  Because giving candy to kids is crazy, right? Although the exact circumstance of how these came into our lives escapes me, I’m afraid the tattoo’s will be there a long, long time.  It’s [...]

I can’t imagine the people that manufacturer child proofing equipment planned for THIS.  When did I become the type of person that lets kids ride their bikes in the house? What is the mystery that a ‘tween can emerge from a shower soaking wet and somehow still reek like kid-funk? Those of you that know the pure loveliness of [...]

Take 15-Get on the Schedule

March 17, 2011

Today I would like to challenge everyone out there to “Take 15″ and a phone and schedule some appointments.  I’m thinking of all those things we put off or seem to never have time to do.  Like going to the dentist, getting a haircut, seeing your doctor, scheduling a family portrait, planning an oil change, or [...]

WHO KEEPS DOING THIS TO THE APPLES??? My son was playing the the silverwear drawer and I heard him sneeze. He always sneezes in threes, so triple the cooties.  Maybe if we had drawer locks it wouldn’t have happened but we don’t and it did.  The tray is full because I finished unloading the dishwasher 5 minutes [...]

So, the [...]

Life would be so boring without kids!  Doritos.  Otherwise known as my “gateway drug”. For some people it’s marijuana, for me chips.  They lower my inhibitions and always lead to heavier drugs, like Ho’-Ho’s, soda and cupcakes and next thing you know I have devoured all the leftover Halloween candy and stand on the scale, [...]

My kids were so excited about this dinner.  I sliced the hot dogs down the middle and added half a slice of cheese to each, then wrapped with Pillsbury Crescent Rolls.  Bake according to the directions on the rolls while you cook your tator tots or fries or both like we did. These are good with bacon wrapped [...]
