Wordful Wednesday 9/8

Every so often I feel the need to post photos of random children that I don't know (my sister's youngest but I'm protecting her identity)
All in a feeble attempt to prove to myself and the world that my children are completely normal in comparison.
Yep. Completely normal.

    What is this normal of which you type? I see happy, healthy kids - that is so much more than normal, it makes one giddy.

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.

We take turns cooking for the family dinners. ...
