life

i feel like a total blog slacker lately. real life has totally taken over. tommy is still not back to work, so that means i have to SHARE computer time during the day (wtf, right?!!?) and with taking classes, i have to spend my time doing other things like reading psychology and doing statistics homework. plus, the boys all have homework now, too. it's busy here.
i totally have to still do the girls' birthday post, as their birthday was on saturday. i also want to write something about their party, but i still don't have the party pictures on here, which i need to do, so you can see the true pirate and princess fabulousness that was the girls' birthday outfits. plus, i have to do a post about a super etsy shop that belongs to one of my best friends (like, since third grade best friend) and is the source of previously stated fabulousness. also, i really should tell you all about how caroline, the evil genius, has completely potty trained herself. f'real. lots to do, lots to do...
i figured i would share a little gem from yesterday with everyone, though. i was trying to do some reading and school work and tommy came in to see how it was going. as the boys were all in school, katie and cara made their way into the bathroom. as tommy and i listened, he wondered if they were trying to rebuild the bathroom. i replied that i thought they were just trying to break the toilet. less than five minutes later, there was a giant porcelain sounding crash. sure enough the lid of the toilet was on the floor and cara was pointing at katie saying "katie do it. shes do it." which, by the way, i totally don't believe. my two darling daughters, sweet little angels that they are, managed to break the lid of my toilet. not my three boys. sigh...

  1. the business of life -
    It seems every fall as school begins life also begins again and we all have to figure out how to reschedule time for ourselves. Hang in there and I am glad to hear that girls break things too as I was beginning to wonder.

  2. Sounds like your princesses were up to some pirate-toilet-trashing-business! I love that your hubby was home for that...seems like men underestimate to daily routine of moms.

  3. We must get your hubby a new job!! PRONTO!! No one interferes with our blog time. Just ridiculous. The holidays are coming...

    I know unemployment is usually better than a crappy job, but I am sure that the department stores are hiring seasonal help.

  6. It's always the sweet little innocent ones at the helm of all the trouble, isn't it?

    Sometimes with the blog I just walk away from the stuff that has gotten to old. I have trouble writing about stuff that isn't fresh...

  9. I was wondering how you were holding up with hubby still home, now I know :)

    Oh, and when I read "douchey behavior" in the previous post, it brought a smile to my face :) That's my favorite word to use to describe random jerkiness, heh heh.
