BEAST
You know Beast is having an especially beasty day when Kris says, “You throw that down the stairs and I’m going to throw you down the stairs!” *Just so you know…Kris did take it back right away and he would never ever throw one of our children down the stairs.
NOAH

SMILE
I started out the day feeling like a bad Momma. I’ve been battling this horrible headache that has remained stagnant for days now. It’s affecting my sleep and my mood. The children launched a revolt against nap time this week…What? It’s only Tuesday night? I need some chocolate. Today was day four of the revolt. Do you know what happens to sleep deprived children? ...
“Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of the Beast, I will fear no...”
I just try to get through one day at a time.
An excerpt from ‘Olivia’, one of the kids favorite shows on Nick Jr.
Olivia, her little brother Ian, and her best friend Julian were discussing what they wanted to be when they grew up. Francine, Olivia’s frienemy, may have been there also. I wasn’t really paying attention until Ian turned to Julian and asked him what he wanted to be when he grew up.
“What are you...

What on earth is going on inside my dog? It sounds like ‘Battle of the Intestines’. Seriously, it sounds like he ate a baby squirrel and it’s trying to crawl back out.
I sound like I’ve been smoking two packs a day for twenty years. Earlier, I almost coughed up a lung and Kris turned to me to say, “You sound absolutely horrible.” Oh, really? I thought I...

Before you panic Melody please remember that Izzie is three so there was no anatomy lesson or graphic stick people drawings. Furthermore, we all know where babies comes from so lets not get grossed out and plug our ears close our eyes and skip this humorous...
A Boy's Obsession
Kris and I took the kids to the auto show today. If you read the title to this post, you can guess where I’m heading with this. Noah, Noah, Noah. It’s a good thing we gave him a short and easy to pronounce name. He definitely gets a lot of use out of it. This is how our morning started. Kris found out that for the past two weeks we had been driving without car insurance. How...
Hey Peeps!
Izzie and the Beast have moved…to Tumblr.
This is my first official post here. I will no longer be posting at izzieandthebeast.blogspot.com. I’ve been going back and forth over switching to a different platform for awhile. It was just a matter of finding something that worked for me. Tumblr has a great application for my iphone so I can post whenever and wherever. I also like the...
