We have some sad sad people in our home today. Brent had his wisdom teeth taken out on Tuesday and he is NOT a happy camper. He’s gone back to sleep right now, poor fella. Isaac is fast asleep on the couch with his eyes wide open. Creep. He just went on a bit of… Continue reading Psychedelic Thursday!

Hello Summer Vacation!
Ahhh…school is out for summer. My schedule just got WIDE open. The children were sent home with all their school stuff that’s awkwardly placed here and there….what are you supposed to DO with it all anyway? Goodness gracious. So now we’re here. Summer vacation. It’s raining out and I’m semi dreading it. At the end… Continue reading Hello Summer Vacation!
Progressing Through Autism: The Dentist
I was so proud of my boys today. It sure seems like I am saying that a lot lately. They did such a good job getting their teeth cleaned at the dentist! Rewind two years ago. I was taking Silas and Isaac to the dentist for the second time. Really, all the dentist did was… Continue reading Progressing Through Autism: The Dentist
What Do You Let Your Kids Watch On TV?
Skunk in the barnyard peeyeewww, somebody farted…it’s YOU This is what I hear my kids and all the neighbourhood kids singing at the very very very top of their lungs. I choose to ignore it. It’s happened, they’ve got to my kids. I am no longer in charge of what they hear or what they… Continue reading What Do You Let Your Kids Watch On TV?
Letting Go
My boys have been all about bikes lately. Bike bike bike bike bike, it’s what they would do all day if they could. Isaac usually goes to the neighbours house and grabs their two wheeler (with training wheels). We only have one helmet and he would use theirs and Silas would cruise around on… Continue reading Letting Go
I Want To Cut Off My Nose
Everyone is outside right now, enjoying the sun (finally!) on the first day of summer. I am inside with a pile of snot-rags beside me. This. sucks. Moms, have you ever noticed…after having babies…that sneezing is a pretty dangerous thing? You kinda have to cross your legs realllly tight and hope for the best. … Continue reading I Want To Cut Off My Nose
Hockey and Fires and Riots OH MY
My forehead itches…my sinuses are burning…my eyes feel hot and watery. Aerius is NOT helping me soar above my allergy symptoms today. Not at all. What a week hey? First we are all excited about the playoffs, then we’re sad cuz the Canucks lose. That sadness was overcome with absolute disgust and horror as we… Continue reading Hockey and Fires and Riots OH MY
Are You Smarter Than My 5 Year Old?
The silver lining of having a son such as Silas is that you get to enjoy having a kid that is WAY beyond smart. A lot of parent think their kids are smart, and I’m sure most of them are. I am in NO way saying that having a super smart brainiac child is ideal,… Continue reading Are You Smarter Than My 5 Year Old?
Growing
It’s not something I necessarily choose to do, it’s just what happens in my head when I’m upset about something. Reason comes knocking on the door and suddenly I’m looking at the situation in a positive light. It might be a coping skill I’ve somehow gained in my years of dealing with the ebb and… Continue reading Growing
Ugly Cry
You know. America’s Got Talent, Britain’s Got Talent…..they’re kinda cheesy shows. I don’t know what exactly it is but I think Hasslhoff has something to do with it. I’ll never ever forget seeing him in the lobby of the Best Western in his wifebeater and droopy-drawer sweat pants. Yikes. Anyway. You must now watch this… Continue reading Ugly Cry
The $400 Lesson
Yesterday we picked up Silas from school. Upon arriving home, Silas and Isaac were driving me CRAZY bouncing off the walls. I had had enough of it. Time to get OUT! I decided we’d go to the park and gather some fallen leaves for my compost. The kids were being insane, the dog wanted to… Continue reading The $400 Lesson
Thank You Garbage
Yesterday I spent a lot of my evening, night, then eaaarrlllyyy morning reading The Happiness Project by Gretchen Rubin. I must say, when I first started the book I found her to be slightly annoying. Maybe it was the fact that she wasn’t sad to begin with, or that it all came so easy to… Continue reading Thank You Garbage
