Scaredy fish
Posted on April 19, 2010 at 8:02am
So a few days ago Ryan picked out a gorgeous white & purple/red Betta fish, along with purple gravel and a Spongebob Squarepants decorative ornament. The whole setup is gorgeous, and Ryan is very excited about having his very own fish. So excited, in fact, that the following conversation took ...Comments Off
Oops…

Has it really been three weeks since I blogged on here? That seems insane. And impossible. What the hell? I almost want to check archive.org and Google's cache to make sure that my server didn't eat some posts or something.
Anyway! We've had mostly nice weather for the past weeks, so ...I hate cheap candy.

Cheap, no-name candy grosses me out, because it IS gross. It's not the lack of a name brand on it, it's the fact that it tastes like shit. You wouldn't put that kind of crap in wedding favors, so why would you give any less consideration to little kids? I ...*scowl*

As I mentioned in my past few entries, I took the kids to a local playground today. We had a fantastic time, minus a bit of sunburn. Oh, and minus Ryan's pissed off bouts. Why was he pissed? Simple: I refused to let him have Oreo cookies or Skittles (both ...Comments Off
Snug as a bug in a rug

Last night Dan and I took the kids out to dinner at Applebee's. He had won a $20 gift card from an office meeting, so that plus the fact that I didn't bother to order my own entree equaled a bill that came to just $17. Sweet! After that we ...Comments Off
Soakin’ up the vitamin D
Posted on March 8, 2010 at 6:12pm
Today was too gorgeous of a day to spend it cooped indoors. So a little after 1:00pm, right after Ryan went #2 in the potty (!!!!!!!!!!), the kids got dressed and put on their sweater hoodies while I made up some roast beef & cheese sandwiches, and then the four ...Comments Off
Now with more flounce
Posted on March 6, 2010 at 1:53am
It seems as though the older Alyssa gets (not that five and nearly a half is "old" by any stretch of the imagination), the more dramatic she gets. She whines, she argues, she flounces, she gets all huffy and dramatic. You should see the faces this kid can make. And ...Comments Off
Mom-approved nail polishes
Posted on March 3, 2010 at 7:20pm
From personal experience, these are my preferred nail polishes not only for color, but how long they last. They routinely last for 2-4 days without any chips or breaks, and that's with doing house work, laundry, dishes (I don't wear gloves), etc; handling kids, and typing thousands of words in ...Comments Off

After Alyssa had her bath this morning, she couldn't wait for me to finish with my shower so I could fix her hair, clean her piercings (standard wipe-down with a cotton ball soaked with antiseptic) and then take pictures. Now she's excited about going over to my mom's house, because ...Comments Off
Impressions

Both Alyssa and Ryan had Valentine's Day parties at preschool this week. Unfortunately for them and their classmates, those parties never happened, because preschool never happened. Whenever there's a 2-hour delay in our school district, preschool is automatically closed. There was a 2-hour delay on Monday because of Saturday's snow ...
