Two nights ago, my 4 year old son sleepily turned to me and said, "Mom, when I grow up, I'm going to marry my cute little blanket."

Last night we couldn't find his cute little blanket so he used another one. After that pathetic attempt at sleeping, I'm thinking marrying a blanket is not such a bad idea.

    my husband had a blanket when he was little, A lady made it for him and it was like 5 feet long. He would drag it around everywhere and it looked alot like that. His mom cut it in half one day and Chase has NEVER forgiven her for it. When we first got married he still had a corner of it tucked in his pillowcase, but I don't know where it is now.

    We all probably have a story like this. My son Shon's blankie looked exactly like this. We would cut a little piece of it off each day and after a few weeks it had just disappeared. He did get used to it being gone but it was gradual.

    Crap, madness indeed. I know you joined, and I know I told you thanks after your vegetable garden blog. Forgive me- I have 4 children and little to no sleep. If it will help with the forgiveness I'll accept those vegetables C.O.D. at my doorstep.

The Most Dreaded Words

 Everybody knows that Christmas is about keeping the Santa Secret and pleasing your children. Therefore, the most dreaded words are uttered on Christmas Eve. "I changed my mind, I want a [pony, scooter, bike, Red Rider BB gun]" A close second place winner is, "Can I have a New Year's Eve party?" Then, "Me, too?"

Too Sick to be Sick

I am sick.  Really and truly sick.  I even took a sick day and felt no guilt whatsoever that maybe I wasn't sick enough to have a "sick day."  Because I am.  My 5 year old was sick, too so I took him to the doctor.  I refuse to acknowledge that I'm sick because I don't get sick.  So with absolute glee, my little boy climbed up onto the table, stuck out his tongue and conversed with the doctor.  I heard something about cloudy ears and antibiotics and then I just turned it off. It hurts when sound reaches my eardrums. We drove back home, I turned on the television, brought in the dog, and let the babysitting begin.  I crawled back into bed and swam somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness.  The kids came home from school.  I might have acknowledged them.  I made chicken noodle soup from scratch.  I couldn't even think.  My husband caught me in a sway and asked what he could do.  I grunted some terse instructi...

What We Eat

Check out the good looking crew.  Just to clarify.  I'm the pretty one. There's a little mountain resort in Northern Utah that is invaded every July by this group of people. We are an intimidating bunch. 5 years ago my brother brought his Nepalese bride to the United States.  She lived in a country where she had no expectation to ever drive a car.  She bought her food daily from the market and ate it.  She taught English, although her accent was so strong when she arrived I questioned her grasp of the language.  We tried to be friendly and accepting.  We ended up scaring the daylights out of her. She thought we were crazy.  Her words, not mine. Although I think she tolerated me a little better than the others because I had the brand new fair-haired baby that she continued to steal.  She wanted a blond haired, blue eyed baby and wondered what her chances were now that she married an American. We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
