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 […]
Technologically Dependent (or Stupid?)
Dependency can be a very ugly thing. It can beunhealthy, limiting and has the potential to be very debillitating. Yet, I continue to hold on to this specific crutch with a mighty determination and utter lackof independent thinking. What is this ‘monkey on my back’? The internet. My husband has been employedin the internet technology […]
Our Tooth Fairy Sucks
I have a bit of a bone to pick. There’s a very popular someone highly admired by another certain someone in this house that is not living up to their commitments. Strike that. Their one commitment. Their one and only job they are tasked to do. We have got to have the flakiest Tooth Fairy […]
Times They Are a’ Changing
Many things change as we age. Our hair gets slightly thinner, our skin getsslightly slacker, our faces get slightly wrinklier and our minds getslightly more confused. These are all things I’ve already come to terms with and am ready to accept. But what happened this weekend is unacceptable and I am unsure how to proceed […]
Can’t Make It One More Step…
We had an exhausting but wonderful weekend. God granted us some beautiful weather and the kids took full advantage of sunshine and warmer temperatures. Avery and Jack, both, spent the entire day on Saturday playing sidewalk chalk, swinging from the tree in the front yard, riding bikes, scooters and harassing neighbors. It was truly blissful. […]
An Odd Obsession
For those of you who have been following my blog, you may remember my son, Jack’s, obsession with Halloween. And if you’re not familiar, in a nutshell, the three-year old was unwilling to give up the holiday and refused to admit that Halloween had a beginning and an end. He was angry at grocery stores […]
Top O’ The Morning To You!
Happy Saint Patrick’s Dayto you! Are you wearing your green todayor do you, perhaps, enjoy the pinching part of this particular holiday? I remember as a child how exciting it was to celebrate St. Patrick’s Day. There was such a playfulness involved in this holiday. We would go to school, our green articles artfully hidden […]
Anticipation
I realized something about myself recently. I have always considered myself an optimist with a twinge of realism shoved in here and there. I am definitely the type of person who likes to see the good in the world, in people and in the hand I’ve been dealt. Ask anyone who knows me and they’ll […]
