The Brothers Scott: The Sweet Spot
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2013/08/the-sweet-spot.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Thursday, August 22, 2013. Today is one of those days that you feel like you might just be doing something right as a parent. And just for posterity's sake, I want to record it. Because there's no doubt that in the next week I'll be feeling like a failure again. It's just the way the parenting merry-go-round rolls. Have a great day! Turned around and ran back into line. My whole life made sense at that very moment, I swear. You got a good one there," the dad next to me said.

The Brothers Scott: March 2013
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Thursday, March 28, 2013. The sole reason for this post is probably that I need a pep talk. From me to me. So feel free to abandon ship on this one. I don't know at what point it happened, but I stopped caring. About my body . about keeping it in good enough shape to serve me well into my advanced years. My body might as well belong to someone 20 years older than me. Truth is, there are people who are much larger than me who are in much. 1 If I could just start chipping aw...

The Brothers Scott: Proof that I love you, W
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2014/04/proof-that-i-love-you-w.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Tuesday, April 15, 2014. Proof that I love you, W. Wilder will be 9 this year. I don't write about him (or really, much of anything else) on this blog lately. He's got to that point where he deserves his privacy, and so I don't need to be writing about the minutiae of his life here on the Internet. Important that you have it, and so — thinking I could still catch you if I moved fast — I grabbed the thing, threw on a pair of sneakers and ran out the door. I have on a sweats...

The Brothers Scott: June 2014
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Thursday, June 26, 2014. Jerry told me about something Hunter said just now, before he left for work, that I need to get down before I forget it. But first, it reminds me of something I was telling friends last night at dinner. A friend was mentioning how her 2-year-old does not like her hair be in a pony tail. He always pulls it out. And when Jerry got home yesterday, they had this exchange:. Jer: It sure is. Man, I love the way that kid's brain works. Fun Sites For Kids.

The Brothers Scott: January 2013

All the boy. None of the howdy. Friday, January 04, 2013. Not expecting superhero powers, but if yoga can make me. Slightly less lame, that would be good. For years friends have been trying to get me to do yoga. As recently as six months ago, my attitude was something along the lines of "hell to the NO.". Have changed my mind for a lot of reasons:. Run early in the am Just not programmed to get out of bed that early. But running at midnight? You know who you are) — come spring grandma's gunning for...

All the boy. None of the howdy. Thursday, June 28, 2012. That Voice You Don't Hear Anymore . Despite not having written much about her here since her death, I think of my friend Karen daily. Miss her daily. Wish she were here every day. Wonder "what the hell ." and "why the hell" and all those things. Karen and I, CU, 1990 (oh the hair .). I wasn't prepared at all to hear Karen's voice still on the answering machine. Her warm "Hey ." right at the beginning there. Where have you been? But I want to post i...

The Brothers Scott: September 2012
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Sunday, September 09, 2012. But my mind's eye does not always make it to reality, especially when you spend a lot of time moving, and then moving again. Now that we're in our forever house (or at least until the boys go off to college and I can start traveling house), I finally gave my mind's eye mass and volume and then put that mass and volume up on the damn walls. Brothers. Love them. Love that they love each other. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Fun Sites For Kids.

The Brothers Scott: December 2012
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Tuesday, December 18, 2012. Yesterday, Hunter had a stomach bug and a high fever, so Jerry took Wilder to school. He told me last night, when he'd gotten home from work, that dropping him off had been unexpectedly emotional. Watching Wilder's first-grade class walking into school, and drawing the inevitable parallels . I got what he was saying, but I didn't really. And he trotted off to get in line. For fuck's sake, what the hell is going on? And how do we make it stop?

The Brothers Scott: July 2014
http://scottcubed.blogspot.com/2014_07_01_archive.html
All the boy. None of the howdy. Wednesday, July 09, 2014. I'm NOT saying you're fat.". Bought Wilder a new mattress yesterday. New sheets. New pillow. Washed every piece of bedding and put it all back. Comfy and inviting. He was so excited. And last night he slept in bed with me. The mattress is too hard, he says. This morning, I get up and tell him I'm going to go lie in his bed to see how bad it is. As I'm walking into his room . I know, Wilder.". What I'm trying to say is .". Yes, kiddo.".
