Over email today at work: Becky: My stomach is very, ah, bubbly today! Shelly: Uh-oh. Did you eat a battery? (after I told her about a 3 yr old who ate a battery) Becky: No but I had a Diet Pepsi Max and some Peeps! Which is a recipe for a very bubbly tummy! Shelly: [...]

*After critiquing my son’s fine cleaning techniques I decided to take an honest look at myself and see where he might get his cleaning abilities: 1) Realize there is a problem with the current state of cleanliness of your room and agree to tackle that problem. Right after another cup of coffee. 2) When all [...]

Awhile ago, my son very lovingly and very randomly named our 2001 Isuzu Rodeo, “Blade”. This made me laugh hysterically when Ben first came up with this name because our car is so NOT a Blade. He couldn’t be further from a Blade. Harry or Rudy, perhaps, but not Blade. Blade to me is like [...]

Mommy, for your birthday, let’s go to a bakery to get doughnuts! Ooh, good idea! But they might not be open because it’s Easter. It’s Easter!? TODAY?!? Yep. Why don’t we celebrate Easter? I want to! Well honey, we are Jewish and Easter is a Christian holiday. We are part Jewish and part Christian. Actually, [...]

Those who know me know how much I love Peeps. Since we never did Easter as a kid and since my birthday is always close to Easter, Peeps always remind me of Spring and yes, my birthday. So this was particularly funny to me. (Thanks Joe and Laura and Jenn – who all sent this [...]

Look at what funny FUNNY Mother Nature did to us today in Wisconsin? Isn’t she a riot!? Sweetheart, why don’t you worry about your seasons playing nice together in the sandbox rather than being a comedian. Hang up your early April Fool’s Joke and work on Winter and Spring getting along and figuring out who’s [...]
