First of all, I would like to wish a Happy (belated) Mother’s Day to everyone! If I’ve learned anything as a mom it’s that the title “Mother” carries a very broad definition. There are many people out there who deserve recognition for being a loving care-taker who may have no traditional “children” to speak of. […]
Burning the Midnight Oil…
This youngest child of mine apparentlylives a very busy existence. I’m beginning to expect that he is sneaking out at night to frequent some swinging night club. Or perhaps he’s hitting open mic night at the local karaoke bar. Better yet, I would be willing to bet that he’s moonlighting as a go-go dancer. No […]
‘Tis the Season for Allergies
Raise your hand if your nose is red and swollen. Raise your hand if your eyes are itchy and blood-shot. Raise your hand if you have snot dripping out of yournoseat the most inopportune of times. (Actually, I can’t think of a real opportune time for dripping snot.) Raise your hand if you experience violent […]
A Very Wet Day…and my special “gift.”
We have been experiencing some very strange weather in these parts as of late. I’m actually quite concerned regarding the mental health of our local weather god, Mister Weather (appropriate name, no?). Something is very wrong. Very, verywrong. We go from a bright, sun-filled sky to monsoon-like winds to torrential downpours in mere minutes of […]
An Alternate Universe?
Today has been a day for the books. Today has been the kind of day where I raise my face to the heavens and cry, “Why!?!?!?” Today has been the kind of day where I realize that the fact hair remains follicly attached to my head must bedue to divine intervention. Today has been the […]
Huge Thanks to my Hubby!!
In all the hubub of premiering my new website design I forgot to doone very important thing…apply my Monday pore-refining mask. No worries, I’ll do that tonight. Pore-refinement aside, Ialso realized thatI have neglected something else… a HUMONGOUS THANK YOU to my better half! My husband, Jer, is a very hard worker and certainly isn’t […]
The Golden Rule…or something like it.
Sometimes, I absolutely amaze myself. Just whenI think I might possibly be getting most things right in this parenting business I realize I couldn’t be any more wrong. I try so hard at being a parent with forethought…a parent who not only considers the current consequences of both my ownand my children’s actions but also […]
Let’s *Not* Talk About Sex
Jack loves music. At any given point in the day, the spunky three year-old is humming, dancing, singing or tapping his fingers and/or toes to the rolodex of melodies running amok in his mind. To watch the child is to witness first-hand the saying “mile-a-minute” because that is the speed at which his brain is […]
A Slightly Skewed Reality
My hubby, Jer, and I had an interesting conversation this morning. He was attempting to access the necessary’mental space’ to begin working and I was procrastinating emptying the dishwasher because I hate that particular chore. Jer and I have really mastered the art of postponement, a skillset we’re not all that certain we should be […]
