An Ode

My love, when I first saw you, you were on a commercial.  I thought what they had to say about you couldn’t be as true as it sounded but you enticed me.  When I saw you in the aisle in Costco I couldn’t say no, especially after I found you were peanut free. When I… Continue reading An Ode

I want to have… Continue reading The Razzle Dazzle Blog

Hit the Beach

So on Friday my brother Andy, who’s moved out this way, called me up like he usually does asking “do you want a coffee?”. 45 minutes later he usually shows up with Starbucks in hand and ready to party. I’m really enjoying him being out here so close to me and he’s looking for a… Continue reading Hit the Beach

Stupid Midol.

WHY do people take Midol? This stuff sucks. I’m sick and shaky from it, my whole body feels very odd and wrong. That’s what happens when you’re anti drugs and then you take them out of desperation…your body revolts. Midol is going in the garbage. Ibuprofin is my friend. I feel like I might vomit.… Continue reading Stupid Midol.

Massive, Mega Explosions!

So here’s what happens when you go to Costco and your child notices you buy raisins and you come home and he demands them and then demands you feed him All Bran Buds and then demands a few prunes. Massive, mega explosions! You see, he used to be able to eat such things, prunes and… Continue reading Massive, Mega Explosions!

The Beast

Inspired by the rumblings in his stomach, the ferocious beast begins to stomp around, wailing and crying for it’s next meal. He spots it and with one shrill cry yells “DIS!” . The prey is laid in front of him. Ravaged by hunger the beast sinks his teeth into the red flesh… The wild beast… Continue reading The Beast

He’s so Smart

So for any of you that are musical, this might impress you. Yesterday I was singing Twinkle Twinkle along with Raffi while tucking Silas into his nap. I told him what harmony was (through the sort of grunts and gurgles he understands as English) and asked him if he could do it. He’s heard me… Continue reading He’s so Smart

Titles are for People Who Don’t Have To Think of One Every Stinking DAY!!

So Silas has his appointment with the ped to see whether or not he’s on any spectrum. Any parents with kids on the spectrum that could give me hints on how to prepare and conduct myself during that initial appointment? Part of me almost wants him to be on it. It wouldn’t change him but… Continue reading Titles are for People Who Don’t Have To Think of One Every Stinking DAY!!

Marsupials

This morning Isaac decided to put his independent pants on and refused to eat oatmeal if I was feeding it to him.  So I just gave him the bowl.  He tried for a bit with the spoon but eventually resorted to his fists.  He came out the other end of the experience surprisingly clean.  I… Continue reading Marsupials

Wal Mart for an Hour = HELL

I went for a trip to Wal Mart yesterday with my brother.  I said “Oh for sure we can hang out there for an hour while your photos develop!”  CHA RIGHT.  We made it, but hardly.  Silas was a psycho.  The kid that lays on the floor and screams.  People were looking around for who… Continue reading Wal Mart for an Hour = HELL
