Conversations with Breckin

Date August 24, 2008

Scene – Jeremiah, Arwyn and I were all eating steak. Breckin was having a PB&J sandwich because he didn’t want steak.
Jer – Everyone has some (steak), except Breckin.
Breckin – I don’t want any except Breckin.
Breckin was thinking that the steak was called “except Breckin.”

Serenity Now!

Date August 10, 2008

Today was a bad day. Breckin was not feeling well today. I think his throat hurt a bit more today than yesterday because he had fewer pain killers. Arwyn woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was cranky from the start. Throwing fits and all. Breckin woke [...]

Helpful Hubbies

Date August 7, 2008

I have been having conversations with friends over the last few years that makes me wonder what generation I am living in. It is something I simply do not understand so I am going to put my thoughts out there for (positive) feedback. I will probably offend a few, but that probably just [...]

Alien Abduction or Answered prayer?

Date August 6, 2008

I recently posted about Breckin’s inability to gain weight over the last year. This is probably aggravated by the fact that he has never really been fond of eating. Since he is so thin, he refusal to eat has often been a point of frustration for me. I have consulted doctors, a [...]

Conversations with Breckin

Date August 6, 2008

Yesterday morning, I made Breckin and Arwyn star shaped pancakes. For fear that Breckin would lose it if I cut his star up, I left each star in tact. He was attempting to cut his star up so he could eat it when we had the following exchange of words.
Breckin: [...]

Conversations with Arwyn

I went to get Arwyn up after her nap yesterday, only to find her in her birthday suit. This is our conversation involving her lack of diaper.
Me: Arwyn, where is your diaper?
Arwyn: Dare diz! (There it is)
Me: Why did you take your diaper off?
Arwyn: I don’t know.

Conv #1
Breckin and Arwyn are standing in the kitchen waiting for me to dry them off. They are in their swimsuits because we were just outside playing in the water.
Breckin: Hey Arwyn, when I get big like Daddy, I am going to have hair on my boobies (middle of chest) too! Just [...]

I have posted on this topic before and expressed my opinion. I just stumbled upon this article and wanted to share. Very good information if you are wondering whether or not to spank.

New guilty pleasure

Date June 19, 2008

In the midst of no new shows on TV, I decided to TiVo America’s Got Talent the other night. I watched it this morning while the kids slept in. I have to say, aside from the annoying judges and Jerry Springer, I rather enjoyed the show. I liked it because some of [...]

Assault by Goldfish

Date June 15, 2008

Last night, we arrived home around 10:30pm after a 2 1/2 hour trip in the car. Our kids were exhausted beyond belief. Arwyn missed her afternoon nap and didn’t sleep well in the car on the way home. And Breckin didn’t sleep at all on the way home and it was late. [...]
