Apply Head To Wall Now

Irony, thy name is motherhood. All morning, I've been mediating disputes, halting sibling assaults and quelling the inevitable bickering that comes from having more than one child. Finally, I've laid down the law. They are confined to their rooms, forced to play by themselves. And now, what they want more than anything, is to play with each other! There is wailing and stretching of arms over the baby gates that keep them bedroom-bound. All Missy wants is to "play with her sweet little brother." The same one that was hiding her baby dolls and hollering at her. And he wants "sisser." The one that pushed him away and wouldn't let him sit by her on the couch.

Pardon me while I self-medicate with chocolate chip cookie dough.

Typical. We always want what we can't have.

You are one smart momma!
When we were kids and we would argue, Momma would always tell us "you can argue, but you have to do it in whispers!" Well, it sounded so silly that we would get the giggles and then all bets were off!

Any cookie dough left? I could use a few nibbles!

Welcome to My World

It's a crazy one. Here's the guide.


Mr. Clairol: My darling husband and love of my life. He's a mechanic, dyes his hair platinum blond and drives to work on a Vespa. I swear he isn't gay.


Drama Queen: My fourteen year old daughter who is frighteningly brilliant and gorgeous to boot. Of course, I am her mother.


Missy Hoohaw: The four year old daughter. She loves animals and roughhousing and earned her name by being a 28 year old Marine in a preschooler's body. No, she doesn't swear and drink. But she can run twenty miles in the rain and give a mighty Hoo-rah.

Big Red: Our toddler son, who is redheaded and proud of it. He's got a healthy temper and the sweetest smile this side of the Mississippi, so it evens out. I was worried about defending him from his sisters at first. Now, I worry about the girls.


The Beast: Our dog, who is a mutt, heavy on the Great Dane. He's named after a heavy metal guitarist in my husband's all time favorite band. This says it all, believe me.


This is my life. Try not to be too jealous.
