Wanted: Repair Person

I need a repair guy (or gal) to come to my house. Dan is broken. Maybe not broken so much as malfunctioning. His "put away" is on the fritz - has been for some time. Not always, mostly in the kitchen. Three times this week this:



has been left on the counter. Let me know if you know anybody that specializes in this type of repair. There might be some fruit pizza in it for you. Bless his heart!

Life with the boys - That's Farticus on the left


A life with 2 sisters never prepared me for life with 3 boys -yes that includes the husband. I am not sure if I should thank Dad for shielding us from this territory or criticize his parenting choice. As I read through other blogs I know that I am not alone in this battle, yet this doesn't always make it easier to head out into the field everyday.

The latest:
We are enjoying a visit with Dan's Dad and Step mom. Shortly after dinner, out of nowhere, Elliott announces his name is Farticus. Farticus?!

sad mommy



The kids are all back in school. Bailey in 7th grade, ran off to ride the bus with her friend, with barely a wave. Alex in 4th ran off once he realized which of his friends are in his class. Even Elliott in 1st only seemed slightly nervous. What's a mom to do - cry. Then when Hannah came to spend the day, I opened the door and said, "At least someone wants to spend the day with me!" Tenneil smiled and said, "She just told me she doesn't want to come to Aunt Monca's today." Are you trying to kill me?
