Life With Boys

The mis-adventures of two crazy boys and their bleary eyed parents.


  • Why do I bother to ask?

    Upon reaching into the fridge recently where I thought there would be a soda was instead a dinosaur (stegosaurus if you must know). As only Morgan and I were home I had a pretty good idea who put it there, but not why.Why you ask was there a stegosaurus in my fridge? “Because it’s the… Continue reading

    It has recently been pointed out that for someone who is pretty technically savvy I’m really out of it because I don’t have an iPod OR a Facebook page. So what I want to know is do you? Continue reading

  • Yeah it’s not pneumonia …

    I was having problems breathing — feeling like every breath requires a huge inhale so I went in for X-Rays — they were clear — so whatever it is I’m coughing up is not pneumonia related. What it is? Don’t know. Docs best guess is something viral that I’ll just have to wait out. In… Continue reading

  • If I lay down I cough so I guess I’ll blog …

    Surprise, surprise, surprise — I have viral pneumonia as well now. I’m on an antibiotic for the accompanying sinus infection I’ve also acquired. I’m tired but need to sit up until the cough medicine kicks in. This sucks. We were supposed to be going away with the kids for the weekend — and now it… Continue reading

He’s as active as can be and I caught him (literally) leaping off the table behind the couch to the… Continue reading

He’s also back on the nebulizer every four hours. Mike is with him this afternoon so I can run into work and do… Continue reading
