Why school is not for boys. At least not Mike.
Sit still. No running on the playground. No playing chase or tag on the playground. No pretending to be the guys from Star Wars on the playground. I get it. You’re afraid of lawsuits from kids getting hurt. You don’t want children playing violent games and making other kids feel unsafe. It is hard to…

I'm feeling corpsy, but thanks for asking
I’m now sicker than I was yesterday, but at least the kids are in school. The little germ-laden fuckers. Seriously, when they get sick I only catch what they have occasionally. And when I do I just get a little touch of what they had. You know, because I’m big and strong and all that.…

You've got to be kidding me, it's only Wednesday?
Monday, home with one sick kid. Tuesday, home with two sick kids. Wednesday, home sick with three sick kids. You see where this is going, right? Come Friday we’ll be on the news. “Local family harbors mutant strain of plague! Film at Eleven!” In my delirium, however, I can’t stop laughing at this picture. Is…

Do you play a lot of Nintendo DS games? I have a question for you.
Last weekend my three-year-old got glasses as part of his ongoing treatment related to his cataract. I didn’t think it was possible for him to look cuter, but I have to say these glasses are really the icing on the cake. Totally extra-adorable, in my un-biased opinion. After 24 hours he adjusted to them perfectly…

Now THAT’S my kind of recipe! Although… 22? Does anyone really need 22 of them? Where would you keep them? I say no — what say you? Phew, that was a real nail-biter. I’m so glad it turned out well! Our own real-life Stella :) And yes, I’ve been living under a rock. I just…

Do you have your own business? I want to link to you.
[Updated below] When I shop, I prefer ‘Mom and Pop’ style businesses where I can meet the owners and feel a real connection with them. When I buy things online I like to patronize stores owned by the person who makes what I’m buying. I figure I’m not the only one out there who feels…

If this were an accurate blog post about the state of my life…
…all you would hear is a great hissing sound followed by a colossal bang. The sound of my head exploding. Instead, I will leave you with a photo I took before I had kids. Doesn’t that look calm and lovely? That’s how they sucker you in.
