King of bad emails

My brother, God bless him, sends some of the worst emails. Usually, the recipient list is at least 5 or 6 lines long. When I receive them I think to myself, you have got to be kidding me and you are sending this from work?

I have never asked him if he has been talked to for inappropriate use of his email. Note to self, at Thanksgiving dinner, bring up being busted sending inappropriate emails. He must have been spoken to because I just saw a change in his bad emailing pattern.

The email I got yesterday was only sent to me and his wife (ok, I know that may seem a little weird, especially due to the content, but at least his x-boss isn

Political Playdate #1

CT comes strolling in after a playdate with his friend Sam and says,

Jail Break

My two year old daughter has figured out how to get out of her crib. Dear God help us!

She finds her new found freedom pretty cool. She sneaks down the stairs, several times a night, to see what we are doing or how we will react to what she is doing. After nap time, she just shows up behind me, no sound, no warning.

I have tried to put the side of her crib down so she won

My good kid streak just ran out

I like going to Target. My kids like going to Target. I come prepared with my list at the ready and snack for my kids.

I actually do pride myself on the fact that I can manage three kids at the grocery store, Target, Costco or damn near anyplace else for that matter.

Sidebar #1: We are a three type of toothpaste family; kids toothpaste (which they take turns choosing the kind they want), Colgate and Crest Sensitive. It was discussed before we left the house that PJ would choose the toothpaste this time. During this conversation CT was telling her what kinds of toothpaste she would have to choose from (Superman, Ninja Turtles, Kim Possible, etc.) and that she should really choose the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toothpaste, which she agreed to.

O.K., back to the toothpaste isle. CT quickly finds the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle toothpaste and hands it to PJ. While he was looking, so was she. She saw the Pooh toothpaste and quickly decided on that. This sudden change threw CT into such a state that he started screaming, WE HAVE TO HAVE THE NINJA TURTLE TOOTHPASTE! WE HAVE TO HAVE THE NINJA TURTLE TOOTHPASTE! IT

Save a horse, ride a cowboy

Country music really has something with those lyrics.

Home fires burning

We had our first fire of the season. It was so luscious.

I laid down on the couch, with my book, in the dimly lit living room. The fire light was dancing on the walls. The logs were hissing and cracking. The smell of the wood was heady.

What a wonderful way to end the day.

AUTUMN

To everything

Turn, turn, turn

There is a season
