I'll apologize beforehand...

There are moments in every mother's life when she says things she NEVER thought she'd hear herself say.  I had just such a moment today.  Lucky me.  Cover your eyes if you're faint of heart (or judgmental).

"OKAY GUYS, I'm gonna tape your penis' shut!"  

Having boys makes you lose your filter.  You can't pussy-foot around the issues.  I think I made myself clear.  I have a pretty good idea who the guilty party is, but to help (him) save face I addressed all male parties in the household.

I mentioned in an earlier post that I needed something unpredictable to spice up my life.  Well, I guess I got it.  Be careful what you wish for...

There go my chances for Citizen of the Year.  Dang it.

I have been reading your blog for over a year and have come close to commenting many times before, but feel a little weird about "blogstocking" you :). Today I couldn't suppress it any longer. You make me laugh SO hard! You have just put into words what I think every single time I enter my sons' bathroom and when I hear that they have been peeing outside under the trees again!
I am from Rexburg, but live in Illinois with my husband and kids now. My mom, Lyn Wood, actually knows you and says that you are such a neat person, but I had already gathered that from reading your blog. I always look forward to your insight on being a mother and the humor you find in life.
I hope you have a pleasant day! I know I am going to be smiling as I think about your latest post :)

Whatever works, right? ;)

I can't believe how tall your boys are getting! Strapping young men. :)

Well, Jen, have no fear about blogstalking...people like us need to stick together! I swear, the world of boys is like none other. It's nice to meet you :).

And, boy, oh boy, you're mother is just about the classiest woman I've ever met. I've always thought that. Strikingly beautiful with an inner beauty to match. I feel lucky to know her...now I just need to meet you-coming to Idaho any time soon :)?
