I was recently asked about the Riding in Cars with Boys posts and if they know how cute and smart they are and if they know I post these blogs. The answer to the first question is that I think they amuse each other and respect each other’s intelligence so there’s always a sense that […]
The other day Corwin told me that he’d be having a party in his choir class today. The deal is that the kids all sign up for something that their parents will then provide. Corwin: I signed you up for the easiest thing, mama.” Me: Cool. Please let it be paper plates. Please let it […]
My afternoons are pretty typical: drive to the high school, pick up Killian, Justin and Not-Kevin, hear about their day, laugh my ass off, drop off Not-Kevin, drop off Justin, drive up to the elementary school with Killian and pick up Corwin and go home. After dropping off Justin a couple weeks ago, Killian’s phone […]
I know it’s been a while. It’s not that funny stuff hasn’t been happening, it’s just that so much of it is contextual and really hard to put into a blog post. We haven’t seen a lot of Mitchell this year since he’s on a slightly different educational track and spends most afternoons on a […]
For those who follow the Riding in Cars with Boys posts, it should come as no surprise that the boys in question are avid World of Warcraft players. They play in the same guild and communicate via the internet with a program called Ventralo. This means I can hear everything because it comes through the […]
So, Killian went to his first concert last week – Devil Driver. Or maybe it’s Devildriver. I’m not sure. I just know that they suck. A lot. However, I’m fairly certain my mom didn’t think Adam Ant, Billy Idol, Hazel O’Connor and Duran Duran were nearly as good an idea as I did. But I […]
Yesterday was crazy weather wise. On my way out to school to pick up the boys, there was sleet, thunder and lightning, sunshine, torrential rain and hail. This was in the course of fifteen minutes. But, I actually managed to get to school early which was good since it was pouring rain by the time […]
Well, the school year has begun, and I’m slowly adjusting to dragging my poor body out of bed at the asscrack of dawn. I had horrible news on the first day of school – Mitchell would no longer be riding home with us – except on half days. We were all completely bummed out. Riding […]
Well the school year is over – thankfully! I thought I’d only have one more Riding in Cars With Boys posts, but I actually have two! YAY! A few weeks before Prom, we passed a burgundy minivan covered with white paint. It said, Will you go to Prom with me? Answer on my car.” Justin: […]
So, yesterday was my birthday and my 21st wedding anniversary. No, that’s not a typo – I was a child bride. 😉 Anyway, last week Mitchell and Killian and I were discussing 80s music after we dropped off Justin. Mitchell was telling me that his mom likes to listen to the channel that plays all […]
