One of My Drugs

I'm quite proud of the fact that I am parenting drug-free, folks. My neighbor comments that he's surprised I'm not in the loony bin for being at home all day teaching 5 kids, especially when my husband goes out of town, but it's all good.

I have my mother's little helpers. Like chocolate. And this stuff I make with strawberries, fat free Cool Whip and sugar-free Jello powder.

And coffee.

Good coffee bought with coupons.

And half and half.

And sugar. Real sugar.

For some reason when I'm losing my mind, coffee helps. Thank God for decent coffee I can make at home!

Happy 8th Birthday to Callie!!!

Taking Daddy to the Airport (Wordless Wednesday)

So sorry about all the problems leaving comments here. It's an old, rickety blog. Head over to my new endeavor, Glitter In Our Coffee to leave comments!

Eva and Sam Have Two Mommies

Posted this to Facebook and wanted to share with my bloggy lovers:

Today Eva and Sam both requested my presence in keeping them company on the pot. Being one person, I could not be in two places and said so. Eva suggested I split into TWO MOMMIES. I said that would benefit everyone, and DADDY would love it.

A**-Flavored Medicine (PG-13)

I warned my husband that I would put this on the blog.

We went to his work one night recently when he was working late and took him some dinner. He'd been sick for a couple of weeks (and going to work anyway ... a good worker or a spreader of germs? you decide.)

On his desk I saw this medicine, and he gave it a special flavor name*. I think he needs to work for medicine companies to help name things. He IS married to the apothe-kerrie, after all.

He says they make the stuff taste bad so little kids don't chug it. That doesn't make sense, though, since they make the kid stuff try to taste so good.

My ideas for adult flavored medicines are:

Beer flavor
Bacon flavor
Chocolate flavor
BBQ flavor
Coffee flavor

Hey, they can't be any worse than what's already out there.

*My husband does not know what a** tastes like, just to be very clear.
