23Aug
- The other day, I gave my kids goldfish crackers for breakfast. In the car. Because I just needed to go to Starbucks that badly.
- I overheard some mom the other day complaining about laundry stains. Here is what I do about that: make my kids strip to the waist before every meal. Ta Da! Problem solved! You’re welcome.
- My mother-in law is coming for a visit next week. The last time she was here, Little sat on her lap and exclaimed, “I didn’t know GIRLS could grow MUSTACHES!”
- I let my hair guy wax my eyebrows. It was weird.
- I found an adorable pink cardigan for my daughter at the thrift store. It was in great condition. When I got it home, I saw that it was Calvin Klein. CALVIN KLEIN. For a THREE YEAR OLD. I’m sorry, but whoever originally bought a designer sweater for a child is a sucker. Which is, in fact, the nicest possible thing I can think of to say about that.
- I got a very weird spam comment the other day. It said “Another tragedy in the making. I guess we won’t stop unless we have destroyed everything.” I guess I should apologize that my post about the kids’ little garden aroused such a strong response. Who knew cucumbers could set someone off like that?

I miss goldfish crackers! Woodjie is allergic to milk and eggs.

I need Starbucks that bad sometimes too. I won’t judge. I also wish that girls didn’t grow mustaches.
Me: Wow, teen son, you are getting some hair on your upper lip there.
Teen son: yeah, I almost have as much as you.
True story.

Congratulations, you are my new favorite. I just spent more time than I care to admit perusing your blog and I laughed out loud, really, not just that “LOL” stuff. Thank you for your encouraging comment at M3RH, but mannnn you’re one of those people who have it all together and make it look easy! And now I have cute-container envy. I’ll be back. I’m bookmarking you.

You know what the cure for all laundry stains is? Dish soap. The liquid kind. In the sink, with cold water and a little lovin’ from your hands. Not even kidding. Ground-in dark chocolate on my white ribbed shirt? Gone. Dried blood in my turqoise shirt? Gone. When my husband accidentally dropped a white button-down shirt on the ground in a wet parking lot and got it covered in the unidentifiable black and gray gunk that lives in said parking lots? Gone. I’m not even kidding. I’ve used about every brand – the yellow stuff, the blue stuff…

Ha!!! I love it.
My kids ate leftover super bowl king cake for breakfast (naked, of course) for a week. Because my team won the super bowl, dang it, and I shouldn’t have to worry about silly things like breakfast after something like that.

What did your MIL say to Little?

She was stunned speechless. I heroically jumped in and sacrificed myself by announcing that I had to wax my lip. It’s not exactly the kind of thing I was trying to talk about with my mother-in-law.
