Things are getting stressful here. We are in Day 3 of Quarantine and while I love being home, I have finally realized this week may have gotten me a little more wound up that I thought. You would think the empty bottle of “As Needed” anxiety meds might have given me an indication of my…

Stories from a boy’s mom
The Sleepover…
Kaiden is having a sleepover. It started off as expected. Two boys, eating pizza, playing video games, and laughing. Laughing is all well and good, except for the annoying laugh that started coming out of Kaiden. Bless him-but I was going to punch him in the throat. All of the sudden, luck falls in my…
Burnt Dreams…
Well, any joy I have left in the season has been burnt to ashes. All of the hope I had of bonding over chocolates..FINISHED. Am I being a little dramatic? Maybe. It is possible that I am hallucinating because of the stench that is currently filling my house. Weird smells are becoming more and more…
Suspicious Smells…
I was just thinking to myself this morning how it had been a minute since Kaiden had done anything chronicle worthy. Of course, what you think comes to action. Thank you Laws of the Universe! However, we also know it is just a matter of time. I finally decided that it would be appropriate for…
Saving the Woodpecker…
I know I make fun of the crazy stuff my boy kid does. It’s hard because it seems to happen all the time. But today he did something that reminds me of how sweet and kind he really is. Who are we kidding, I’m his mom. I see his sweet and kind every day. But…
When You Are On a Roll…
Kids suck. There. I said it. We have been on one heck of a roll this past week. Every single time this happens I think, well it can’t get too much worse than this. LIES! I don’t even know where to start. #kaidenchronicles This kid….THIS KID WHO IS LUCKY TO STILL BE ALIVE… goes into the…
Learning the Hard Way…
Kaiden was sitting with me at my nail appointment watching as my nails were being filled. He says, “Oh, that is so cool. I didn’t know that is how you got that done.” I remind him that we leave this to the professionals and don’t use tools to do this at home. He replied, “Yeah, no kidding….
Just a little guy…
Like a normal human, I decided that it would be a good thing to clean today. I’m sweeping the floor just minding my own business. As I walk in to sweep the bathroom floor, something captures my eye. A freaking lizard was cruising around my house. I know… I know… at least it wasn’t a…
Stranded…
Today I failed to check the toilet paper situation in the bathroom and ended up getting stranded. If I am being honest, it happens a lot. Someone forgot to change the roll when it ran out. That someone was me. This may be a TMI situation for some, so consider yourself warned. Anyhow, I yell to…
Life’s Lessons…
“WE” are reaching new levels of stupidity. “WE” are learning a lot. Let me be clear, I am not saying this kid is stupid. I AM saying his choices are stupid. You just wait! This evening, at a ridiculous night hour (no judging..we are night people), Kaiden decided to shower. I am getting annoyed by…
