Magoo’s decided that all motorcyclists have escaped from some sort of parade and that their main role in this world is to smile and wave at him sweetly like Miss Latina Puget Sound sitting on the back of her white Cadillac on the 4th of July. He waves and smiles and yells, “Hi MOTORCYCLE [...]
That’s me in the hall. way. sending my daughter to kindergarten.
This week Laylee has a kindergarten “soft start.” Today she met with her teacher one-on-one for 20 minutes to discuss important matters like the sounds a “G” makes and whether or not she knows her own phone number.
From what I’ve heard, the [...]
As I was pulling Laylee’s piggy tale holders out tonight, she started whining.
“OW
OW
OW
OW
W
DOT
SLASH
OW!”
On the way home from church yesterday we had this conversation.
Me: What did you learn about in nursery Magoo?
Magoo: Bubbles.
Me: Fun. Did you have a lesson?
Magoo: Bubbles.
Me: You did a picture of Moses. Did you learn about him?
Magoo: Yes.
Me: Awesome. Was he a prophet?
Magoo [looking [...]
My sister Becky is about to pop. She’s at the taking-crazy-potions-to-induce-exodus point of her pregnancy and I like to do things to help keep her occupied, like play Doctor Mario online with my wii. I’m selfless like that. And also rad.
Today Laylee was watching us play and talking to Aunt Becky on [...]
Laylee to me: “It’s so much more fun to cuddle with you because you’re so much more fatter and it’s just more comfortable.”
Laylee: “Can I get a whoop whoop?!”
Magoo [very sternly with raised eyebrows]: “No. You. May. NOT!”
Apparently Laylee’s not completely deaf. She overheard us having a “tickle [...]
The sanity is not.
We’re doing it. We’re saying goodbye to diapers and hello to stench and stains and public restrooms and plastic bags in my purse waiting to be filled with little peed-in Lightning McQueen special pants.
Magoo’s been ready but lazy for a while.
I’ve been not ready AND lazy for a while.
But [...]
For Dan’s 30th birthday I trashed his office like so:
and I bought him this shirt after following an ad on g-mail for funny shirts. Yes, Google advertising executives, some people actually click through and purchase. Their name is Me.
The more I look at the shirt the more I realize that I don’t verbalize [...]
Lately Magoo bawls his brains out every night because he’s scared of the lamp-shadow-turned-ghost that hangs out in his room on the wall directly behind the lamp. And this is sad because he needs his brains. They are small and developing and if he bawls many more of them out, he’ll be in [...]
Ah, what a lovely day I had today. I tricked the kids into cleaning the house, ate Cadbury Mini-Eggs and lounged in my bed for several minutes while looking at clouds that I could tell were clouds because they stood out against the most amazing thing, patches of nearly blue Seattle sky.
It [...]
