I haven’t posted in a while – it’s just been too crazy. Work, kids, sports, homework, laundry, sound familiar? There are moments when I can’t help but think what have I gotten myself into (I have four kids for effing sake). How did they all get here? And, how do I get rid of them? [...]
My oldest son is all boy. There’s no question about it. In fact Troy thinks he stripped my uterus out of all the testosterone so that when Jeff came along there was none left. He wears a “I heart BOOBIES” bracelet (it makes me cringe but hey it’s for a good cause). He has been [...]

Last weekend it was my oldest son’s (Ben) birthday and he had a friend sleep over. The next morning my youngest son informed me he had a project due the next day at school. So, we raced to Michael’s to buy some supplies. Once I had gotten done paying for the items, I turned around [...]
“Hi, my name is Jeff and I’m a hoarder.”
