Remember a couple weeks ago where I said The Diva was going to go on her first sleepover? Well that didn’t happen. The little girl’s older brother got sick, so the Grandfather called to cancel at about 3 pm the day we were supposed to do it. Then I didn’t hear from anyone. I tried [...]
I thought I had more time. I didn’t think I would be faced with this particular situation quite yet. I thought maybe it would happen next year, not in kindergarten. But I have agreed, with great trepidation, to allow The Diva to have a sleepover at a classmate’s house tomorrow night. I am still not [...]
I realize it’s after Christmas, but I was busier than a one armed man in an ass kicking contest last week so I didn’t have time to post these pictures and videos. But Christmas is my favorite holiday and I look at it as keeping the Christmas feeling going a little longer. Without further adieu, [...]
The Diva got her first kiss. From a boy. At school, on Wednesday. He kissed her on the nose. He’s five. Ro is is 5 3/4. She says she doesn’t really like him. The kiss happened after they complimented each other’s school pictures. After Mrs. M told us what happened, his mother looked at me [...]
It’s been a while since I did one of these posts. The ones where I announce to the world the crazy things that come out of my amazing daughter’s mouth. But she has said some things lately that made me {and whoever I may be on the phone with at the time}, spit out whatever [...]
Oh that Diva of mine….she has her own style to be sure. She loves to dress up in pretty things. Then go climb a tree or make mud pies. She is a girly Tom-Boy. Just like her Mama. Only I was always shoeless. Climbing trees, playing in the dirt…beating up the boys who annoyed me. [...]
Last Wednesday, The DIva started kindergarten. SHe was very excited. Tired, but excited. ANd as any good Mom should, I took pictures. None are teen years blackmail worthy though. Damn it. She wouldn’t look at the camera and smile. But isn’t her outfit adorable? I just love a little girl in plaid. It’s all so [...]
The Diva is, shall we say, a bit eccentric. What? But she’s only five, how can she be eccentric?!?! If you lived with her, you’d know what I am talking about. She has always been different. She is extremely intelligent, very creative and has a boundless imagination. Her imaginary friend is a boy. His name [...]
The Diva graduated from preschool at the end of last month. She starts Kindergarten on August 11th. Summer is only 6 weeks long this year. At this point, I am kind of happy about that because I am having trouble getting her to understand that just because Mommy gets up from the computer, doesn’t mean [...]
Sunday night, I thought I would get all industrious and edit my Wordless Wednesday photos early, get the draft set to post and be ahead of the game. But that didn’t exactly happen. I have a new graphics photo editing program and it has many more capabilities than my old one. And the photos became [...]
I have been on a mission for a while now to get The Diva a good toy box. The old diaper boxes just aren’t working anymore. The problem is that all the ones I have found are either too small or too expensive and I certainly can’t afford a custom job. I think I will [...]
Last week was Dr. Seuss’ birthday and it was celebrated at The Diva’s school. Ever since then, she has been obsessed with him. And Green Eggs and Ham. Yesterday was The Diva’s 5th birthday and when asked what she would like for her special meal, she said, you guessed it, Green Eggs And Ham. Being [...]
It’s time, once again, for Small talk Six! On Saturdays presented by MomDot.com. Today’s topic is “6 things you would rather do yourself, even if you could pay someone else to do them”. You can answer this with a list of 6 words, 6 phrases, 6 sentences. 6 paragraphs, 6 photos, 6 videos, etc… Oh [...]
It’s the psychedelic tube monster…. And because it’s Mardi Gras…. And yes, I made both images. I am an aspiring graphic designer, after all. For more Wordless Wednesdays/Wordful Wednesdays, please visit MomDot.com, The Mud Bug, 5 Minutes For Mom, Potamus Prefers, and WordlessWednesday.com {HQ}.
This past Tuesday, I took The Diva down for her first ever school physical. Even though she had her yearly physical in March, the school district needed some “extras” including a urine dip, TB test, complete blood panel, blood lead test and an iron level. I even got her to pee in the cup. Want [...]
My daughter , I think, is destined to become a hall monitor. She regularly opens the living room window and yells at the neighbor kids to get out of the street. She yells at people to stop honking their horns, a regular occurrence in our neck of the woods. For some reason, no one can [...]
Sorry it’s a little jarring. My stabilizer thing wasn’t working. I’m still trying to figure out this new fangled camera doohickey…. And a kitty cat version…
