Only makes us drink more? No, that isn't right...oh well. Tomorrow is the start of the new school year and I am ready to kill Alyssa. I get that she is nervous, but my begeezus, that girl is so freaking moody. A few week…

Today I made the dreaded trip to get Josh, Alyssa, and Liz school shoes. I absolutely hate shoe shopping with kids. It never goes smoothly and it usually requires me to have more than one margarita before it is over. (Ju…

Well, I don't think I have discussed Matt's ex and her loon family too much lately. In all honesty, it has been fairly quiet so I didn't want to invoke the devil by mentioning her name. The kids have been home for almost…

I naturally followed RoAngie467's blog on the front page. Not exactly a stretch to assume that I would. I thought she made some great arguments and was sorry to see many people dismiss her simply because she disagreed wi…

I seriously considered calling this "Would it be okay to beat my disabled child?", but I was afraid someone would miss the sarcasm and it would end up on the front page. I am trying to get the house organized once again…

Don't get too excited (April, put that champagne down); this isn't MY goodbye. Sarah and Jim left late yesterday and I must say, it was very difficult saying goodbye. We didn't do anything out of this world, but we had t…

Last night was not fun. I was beyond tired from having gotten up so early yesterday morning and the kids decided to make me pay for their great behavior at the beach. In all honesty, they were not being horrible, but the…

Last night we went and met up with Sarah and Jim. We picked them up from the hotel so that they wouldn't have to navigate around San Diego to find us. They were smart enough to pack the GPS, but we figured this way we wo…

In about twenty-four hours, Sarah and Jim will be in San Diego. The kids and I are on a last minute OMG clean spree. It will be a disaster again in under an hour, but at least I kept them busy.Last night we got the news…

You guys may recall a few weeks ago I mentioned Liz being rushed to the hospital due to breathing difficulties. I explained that her mother and the rest of the family feel that the ER is really just their own private doc…

My morning had a rather fun start. (read with strong sense of sarcasm) I haven't been over to momlogic for quite a few months. I didn't ever have the time, but I would still get the occasional email about a discussion th…

This is going to be a bad day. My blog just got eaten by the internet. Short version: Matt arranged for the children to come home on Thursday evening. He gave no thought to the fact that he will see them for perhaps an h…

Last night for the first time since Alyssa arrived, we had a few minutes all alone. I couldn't pass up the opportunity and I explained to her the decision that had been reached concerning her living situation. She would…
