Other Things O
This weekend was wonderful because I could almost smell the fresh veggies that I will soon be harvested in my front yard this year. The sun was shining, the dirt could easily be mixed into mud (via two messy kids and a hooked up garden hose) and I officially dusted off my gardening sandals. Whoohoo!!
You [...]
Dear Ann Landers: I was going to go exercise today and my 6 year-old son asked my why I would do that when I have those really tight underwear that make my stomach look smaller. Do you think he is a genius?
Dear Ann Landers: How many Worrell children does it take to turn off the light in the bathroom? Well, technically it’s zero because one Worrell child always says, “What light” and the other says, “I didn’t turn on the light.” And, then it’s all up to me. Hmmm.
Sheesh. It’s been a couple of weeks, but never fear—I haven’t stopped eating. The fruit and veggie crusade is going well, although it is still a major task to fit in nine servings a day. Most days, I have had to rely on 100% fruit juice or V8 because I’m simply just not organized enough [...]
Dear Ann Landers: OK, I’m doing some rehab on my back and here is my 6 year-old’s comment, “So, that is what your doctor told you? Get a big ball and fall all over the place.” Gee, the support is overflowing.
Dear Ann Landers: I just picked up four pairs of scissors on the floor in various places around the house. When I asked my (now) 6 year-old what they were doing on the floor he said, “In case I want to cut something, MOM.” Of, course!
Eating healthy is a challenge for the strongest of “beings” under normal circumstances, but holidays always present an even bigger challenge. Especially, when our holidays seem to be centered on sugary goodness—which is (of course) is the case with Valentine’s Day.
Just thinking about a “box of chocolates” makes me drool. Forrest Gump made an understatement [...]
This is one of my most “unfavorite” weeks of the year as a mother. When I should be basking in pre-Valentine’s Day anticipation, I’m begging, pleading and rolling around on the ground like a maniac trying to get my kids to fill out 30 tiny “specially messaged” cards for each of their classmates (i.e. that’s [...]
Dear Ann Landers: OK, I know this is super crude. But, my 5 year-old was telling tonight me about this super cool guy who farted the entire ABC’s on America’s Funniest Home Videos. Have you seen it? Can that be possible? We are trying to limit his TV exposure these days and that is suppose [...]
Dear Ann Landers: For some reason both of my children got excited about the Super Bowl this year. I asked my 11-year old who she was rooting for and she said, “The Saints, of course – because I go to Saint Joe’s elementary.” When, I asked my 5 year-old he (of course) said very casually, [...]
