The Norris Ranch: September 2010
http://arnorris.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 30, 2010. Holy Terror and I settled onto the counter stools at the Foster Freeze with our treats. It was our Mommy-Son date before I headed off to my business trip. It was his first time ordering a sundae. He smiled. "Yup. Dad can make this for me.just like this." He waved his hands and gives that know-it-all Norris look. "Better, probably.". Later on in the discussion, he looks around at the car posters. "When I get bigger, I'm going to have a hot rod that's all these colors.". The b...

The Norris Ranch: No...Not Again
http://arnorris.blogspot.com/2011/01/nonot-again.html
Monday, January 17, 2011. It's started. I'm now in the first stages of unneeded. Woke up Saturday morning regular time and the boys were eating their breakfast. We did it ourselves," Holy Terror informed me with a touch of pride. What was I to do? I smiled and gave high fives. Told them how proud I was. All the while my heart was breaking. It's started again. The first two, now in high school, started not needing me so much about the same age. Somehow I suppressed it, not wanting to think about it. Oh, s...

Saturday, July 31, 2010. Sometimes there is so much in life it gets overwhelming. Work, chores, errands, events, etc. When it's so full, its weight almost physically resting on your shoulders, it's surprising what the cure is. For me it's actually when more enters, in the form of family. I was reminded of this last night, card night. And the more noise and activity that filled the space, the quicker the stress of everyday shed from my shoulders. It reminded me that a full life isn't stressful, it's t...

The Norris Ranch: December 2010
http://arnorris.blogspot.com/2010_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 26, 2010. Loving this Sunday evening. I look up from my book to see Holy Terror at my feet playing with his motorcycles and cars. Super Wy. Is halfway between the living area and kitchen creating his world through Legos. Drama Queen is listening to music on the computer and chatting with friends. And my oldest, Parkour. Boy, is playing Star Wars on the Wii. Next to me. Occasionally. One shares a thought or funny comment with the others and there's giggling or growls and a response. As I ...

Friday, January 14, 2011. Cinnamon Crunch commercial comes on and the little boys yell at the same time, "I want that! We'll see," I say absently with a sigh. A commercial for Nerf mega gun thingie comes on and the little boys yell at the same time, "I want that! We'll see," I say with another sigh and a shake of the head.

Saturday, June 11, 2011. Spending the evening watching movie with my sister and brother in law. All the kids are located throughout the house playing. My oldest nephew runs in from the back room, "They're throwing mud piles in the bedroom window! The little boys and I are eating breakfast and they are busy talking about where they're gonna go. Confused, because we had no plans for today, I ask, "What are you two talking about? Super Wy hollers. "I wanna dig a hole to the beach! Holy Terror has given up t...
