if you listen, you can hear birds sing and flowers grow

love

mouthwash burn

ernie vacuuming the whole house very thoroughly

moop, particularly this bag, this place in which they work and live, and this owlie place for small things

things with surprises inside

pumpkin pie

having only one tv commitment a week

feeling human again after major abdominal surgery

lola’s little mewling sounds when she sleeps

hate

the never ending mess on my desk

my inability to relax when things are piled up, cluttered, dirty

how fast kids resort to fist-fighting, slapping, and well-aimed kicking when angry with one another

the trickiness of finding a moment to shower in the day — a moment during which lola is content and henry and jude aren’t feeling too mischevious

foolish adult pygmies (who should know better!) and their asinine comments

jude being old enough to wear henry’s pirate boots!

    I come mainly for the pictures. Thanks for never letting me down! =)
    “how fast kids resort to fist-fighting, slapping, and well-aimed kicking when angry with one another”. This drives me insane as well. I don’t know how to deal with it. I’ve tried so many different techniques, but I feel like just throwing them in a pen out in the back yard.
    I never had so many stupid comments as I did after Ella was born. The 2 boys and 1 girl just brought it out of everyone. I even wrote a comic about it.
    Glad to hear you’re feeling “human” again. Don’t try to take on too much, yet, mama. ((((hugs))))
