Halloween is always a hectic time of year, having five kids can make it REALLY REALLY insanely hectic. This year I had plans to do 7 total Pokemon costumes… but that was just not to be. It wasn’t happening. >.> Largely because I really suck at focusing and procrastination every destroys me.. In the end […]
Trying To Enforce Rules Without Being A Meanie
Var is, as you all know, my wild child. With ODD and the lower maturity that a little boy has compared to a little girl (or at least him compared to any little girl I’ve been around… and many boys I know..), he can be a very difficult person to handle at times. I will […]
Dear Risi – I'm Not Ready!
My dearest youngest daughter Risiel, Hi there, it’s mommy. You know, mamama, mooommmyyy!! The one whose blue hair you like to play with, glasses you must chew on, and giver of ‘toes’ time? Yeah, it’s me. As you race towards your first birthday in what only can be the most alarming pace ever, I cannot […]
My Kids Love Glasses – Weirdos
When I was younger getting glasses wasn’t a cool thing or anything to be happy about. More so in elementary school. No one wanted to get glasses, because you’d be called things like ‘four eyes’ and… well whatever else. I don’t know because I never called anyone anything like that, and I didn’t actually need […]
So Heavy… Scoliosis Again
A couple days ago, Sisi and Kat had their yearly check-ups. And…. like they do with all kids of a certain age on up, they checked on Sisi’s back. She had to bend over as if she was touching her toes and… “Oh yeah, she has it too.” Says the doctor as I was in […]
A Bad Day With ODD
With Oppositional Defiance Disorder on the table, Var is my most difficult and trying child. Don’t get me wrong, I do so love him, he’s just insanely difficult at times. Though therapy and PSR (Psycho Social Rehabilitation) helped some, we’re currently on the search for a new PSR worker. Here is some information from the […]
How hectic life can be…
Konnichiwa Minna-san!! Life has been hectic here like crazy. But then again it feels as if that’s the norm anymore. Kat started school on August 25th, which was Sisi’s 11th birthday. Aussie’s birthday was the 24th. Kat’s birthday is the 14th… Sisi, Var and Lisi all started school on the 2nd! I sadly didn’t manage […]
Girls Monster High Costume Review
Disclaimer: We received this costume in order to facilitate this review from Wholesale Costume Club. No other compensation was obtained for writing this post. All opinions are those of myself or family members unless otherwise stated. I was originally pretty surprised when Lisi told me that she liked Monster High. None of the girls had […]
All The Little Things
It’s been a pretty hard summer for me. I have trouble sometimes remembering just how to do this baby thing. What with the kids being (almost) 14, (almost) 11, 9, and 8… and Risi being 9 months. I feel like a first time mother again, but without all the patience and time I had when […]
My Most Proud Moment
I don’t have one. I mean, how can I narrow down the past 30 years into ONE moment I am most proud of?? Would it be most proud of myself? Most proud of one of the kids? What then? I have so many things to be proud of for myself and for the kids. […]
