Don’t Quote Me, But . . . | Sisterhood of the Sensible Moms

Aside

Out of the French Fry Stuffed Mouths of Babes

A tender moment while snuggling with Eddie (4) at bedtime . . .

Eddie – You didn’t feed me dinner.

Erin – You totally had dinner when we went through the McDonald’s drive-thru on the way to pick the big kids up.

Eddie – It doesn’t count if we don’t sit around the table and I get to share my stories.

Thank you for reading this edition of When Your Own Words Come Back and Bite You In Your Butt.

Thank you and did you remember to Supersize my side of guilt?

The Spring Is Come

Behold, my friends, the spring is come; the earth has gladly received the embraces of the sun, and we shall soon see the results of their love!

Friends, Romans, Countrymen . . .

The evil that men do lives after them; The good is oft interred with their bones.

Mark Anthony in Shakespeare's "Julius Ceasar"

Julius Caesar’s death on March 15, 44BC catapulted the Ides of March from obscure Roman calendar date to infamy. Shakespeare’s play about Caesar sealed the deal.

This is the best quote from that play by a mile! Enjoy the Ides! Erin

The Beautiful Game

The rules of soccer are very simple, basically it is this: if it moves, kick it. If it doesn't move, kick it until it does.

Phil Woosnam Welsh Soccer Player and Manager

Are we off-sides?

Soccer Moms, our season has arrived!! Hope this helps to get you in the mood to freeze your butt off on the sidelines in March and then sweat it off in June.

It really is a ”beautiful game”!!! -Erin

President’s Day

I want it said of me by those who knew me best, that I always plucked a thistle and planted a flower where I thought a flower would grow.

Virus Part I: Zombieland

Run, do not walk, away from my family if you see one of us coming. We are facing down some evil viral menace here. Save yourselves and pray for our sweet deliverance from the grips of this Virus From Hell.

Erin

Facebook warning from Erin posted from the midst of her very own version of “Contagion.” She had not one, but TWO, kids throw up at two separate sleepovers on the same night. She’s not holding her breath for thank you notes. And it only went downhill from there. They all succumbed, all SEVEN of them. -Ellen

You know there’s a sequel, right? You’re one click away from Part II.

Read about the Full Menace; Part III has been unleashed!

Did you bring a gun?

Steve

Steve’s reply after I crawled up the steps to see if he needed anything. To set the scene, an hour ago, he had dropped Ace off at his soccer game with the instructions, “You are going to have to find your own ride home because the plague is upon me, starting now.” -Erin
