• The Activity Scene

  
  Faemom — Authority: 126
  When I was a child, I was fascinated by Nativity Scenes.  It was a natural call because I loved doll houses, miniatures, and the Virgin.  This combined all natural things.  Though my mother’s set was plastic, we were not allowed to touch it.  Until my brother dared, placing The Three Wise Men on the other side ...

• Moulding or misshaping?

  
  Consumer Psyche — Authority: 127
  I was just talking to an old friend and our discussion drifted to his 2 yr old niece. After mentioning how cute she was, he went on to mention that she turned irritating and annoying after her mom got pregnant again. It only increased when her baby brother came home. She would throw tantrums and get upset about ...

• Amazing

  
  Faemom — Authority: 126
  Has any one noticed that people seem nicer?  Instead of giving me dirty looks because of my boys’ playful screaming at each other in a crowded Wal-Mart, people laugh and pat them on their heads.   Which is nice.  Until it happens in February.  Then I think the dirty looks will be back.

  Faemom — Authority: 126
  Evan: Mommy, I was scared of the pirate museum. The pirate museum?  The one in Salem?  The one we saw back in July?  The one you loved and haven’t stopped talking about since? Me: Really?  Why? Evan: Because the pirate held someone’s head. D’oh.  I knew that would come up, but I figured it would be more ...

  Dad's House — Authority: 124
  My kids already decorated a Christmas tree at their mom’s house this year, so I was delighted that they wanted to put ornaments on a tree at my house, too.

• What would you do?

  
  Faemom — Authority: 126
  So I’m dragging the boys through Target just to get one or two or four little things.  Who needs a cart?  *Manic laughter* I obviously forgot it was December with all those toys and decorations.  As I turned down an aisle, I heard, “You should see how much soda I feed her.” There was a young mother feeding ...

• No, I Sean.

  
  Faemom — Authority: 126
  Sean doesn’t like picking Evan up from school.  I think he thinks we can just leave him there.  It’s a nice thought some days.  As I convinced Sean into a jacket, out of the house, and into his car seat, I chatted. Me: Now, we’ll get Evan, baby. Sean: I not baby!  I a big boy! Me: Yes, you are!  And soon ...

• A House is Not a Home

  
  Authspot — Authority: 562
  Image via Wikipedia A House is not a Home, or a Mansion or a Palace. Home is a place where you feel happy loved and safe. It’s not a Cottage in a valley or a Chateau on a hill, or a Castle on a hillside, were time can stand so still. It’s the place we raised our children with tender love and care. The place ...

  Faemom — Authority: 126
  Evan has learned a new phrase that he thinks will get him off the hook. I don’t like you. He said it to The Husband when I was away for the weekend.  It worried The Husband.  Maybe even hurt his feelings. Last week, Evan said it to me.  “Mommy, I don’t like you.”  I was punishing him for something.  ...
