so, i titled this as liam, being the big man on campus. i guess he’s really a little man, but we can’t get enough of his cuteness!! this is a picture of the kind of attraction this baby boy draws to himself. his sisters are always gettin’ him. i can’t squeeze him enough. and shawn is always pinchin’

A few nights ago Liam was hangin’ out in his playpen as I was trying to straighten up a bit. He’d had enough of that and was getting pretty ticked off. Then things got real quiet. This scared me, because I knew his rough and tumble little sisters were near-by. (As any mom knows - when things get too

20 Reasons Why I Was Late

Wed, 7 Mar 2007 13:32:42 -0600

So many of my standards have lowered and been radically altered since I’ve birthed my third child. It’s not that I was ever known for my punctuality, but now being on time is something so rare that I think I’d actually do an elaborate victory dance if I were ever to get somewhere when scheduled.

Hardee’s Commercials

Sun, 18 Feb 2007 13:11:49 -0600

here is the scene. i’m watching my favorite t.v. show, relaxed and happy to finally have some peace and quiet. it’s time for a commercial break, so i absent-mindedly look away. then, without warning, my ears are suddenly offended by the overwhelming sounds of crunching, crackling, smacking, and chew
