Epic Party Foul

Post Mama wound care... 👆🏻 It has been a few days, and we are ALL on the road to recovery. So, I can use a little light humor. Where, oh where, oh where do I begin? Let's just cut to the chase: Dillon had an accident on his skateboard on Tuesday. (I have rephrased this a million times in a gazillion texts.). We let him go way too soon on a stupidly, seriously steep hill. I watched the whole thing. I saw the skateboard shake. I knew he was going down. I saw him abort and try to run a few steps, but the speed was beyond his ability to maintain. I watched him crash and roll. I ran as fast as I could, and I saw him swooning...his wounds...they were all over his body. Meet my new friend Philemon. Turns out the name means "Love." I need him. He never lost consciousness. He responded appropriately to brief mental status testing. But he was injured (how badly, we were not sure), and he was emotionally traumatized. (And so was my poor Evan...sobbing, mostly ignored

Hair Cuts and Bathroom Remodel

Oh my! I am watching all the Spring Break travel photos and thinking how I’m slaving away in this bathroom remodel all day. (Can I get a little sympathy?) I mean...well ok. Mostly Matt is slaving away, and I come by to help when it’s convenient...but SOMEBODY has to maintain the home. Am I right?!! I put my girls on a plane to my dream vacation this afternoon...meanwhile, I learned to cut tile and am getting quite good at it. (Can you believe he allows me to participate in such ways?!!! Forget about careless and clueless...let’s start calling me Careful Kristen. How bout that?!) Since Matt is slaving away...seriously...all day every day for 2 weeks now! ..... I decided to give him a break on the diy cuts. The boys had their first haircut out of the house (or neighbor’s)! They were amazed at how quick it was...and they are officially sold on the Great Clips experience! I mean...their Dad definitely has talent!...b ut it is painfully slow and calculated. After all...he i

Parenting Over-Time Comes to an End

I was feeling pretty icky to start the new year. There is so much holiday from October through December, I tend to end up feeling lazy, over-stuffed, unproductive and completely out of sorts. It is not a good feeling. Not at all. I feel this, properly, represents my mood...especially the t-rex. How have I never seen these sculptures before?!! Yet...I don't seem to be able to break the cycle, no matter what I try. The crazy weather patterns around here don't help. We, literally, went from mid-50 degrees to single digits in one day. Not that I'm complaining about the 50's!! It just feels as chaotic as the rest of my life, and I will admit: Even I require some level of routine and consistency to cope my way through this confounding life. The free-for-all of the past two weeks has NOT suited me well. And if you never once, during the break, had to storm through the house in the middle of the night to erupt upon your child, "SHUT UP AND GO TO SLEEP!" the
