The Start

I've been meaning to start a blog for a long time.  I decided that it was time to write down some of the funny, hard, mundane, tragic, and down right "This has to be written down somewhere" moments our family has with each other.  

There are times like yesterday when the Incredible Hulk (youngest son for those that haven't read my profile yet) decided that walking the 100ft. to the house was too much for a potty break.  The tree was way more convenient.  He also may have been helping the tree who knows (this is how he thinks).  So out of my mouth comes, "Hulk, come in the house and have double time out, you know you have been told that peeing outside is only for camping or when no bathroom is available."  

So here are the things that have occurred to me:

• I don't think 10 years ago I would have even imagined that those words would have come out of my mouth
• Notice he's been warned before so this is not a new issue
• Why am I punishing him for having solutions to his problems?  It's more than our own government is doing.  Maybe he can be a future government leader - too forward thinking? Ok
• I wish I could pee outside when I couldn't hold it any longer and get away with it (not the cute little kid I once was)
• I wonder how many times he has gone and not got caught?

So this is why I've started my blog - to have it written down that our family is functional, dysfunctional, normal, abnormal, creative, and destructive.  We wouldn't want it any other way.  I love my boys!
