Prepare yourself to be very impressed by my obvious uber-generous personality and willingness to sacrifice myself for the greater good. Are you ready? Okay…I volunteer for 90 minutes every week in my daughter’s first grade class. I know. My propensity for servitude knows no bounds. (Sarcasm intended.) And this Thursday during my weeklymission for mankind […]
Ugh…Dr. Phil’s SAHM vs. Working Moms
Yowza. Did anyone see the October 14th Dr. Phil show? The topic was Stay-at-Home Moms versus Working Moms, aptly named “Guilty Moms”. You can view the video and access show information at Dr. Phil.com. Dr. Phil had brought in women who represented both sides of the fence,a few of which were all fired up to […]
My baby boy is 3 years old!
As I write this I am watching my now 3-year old race around the house chasing after his brand-new monster truck remote control car. There is pure joy on his little handsome face and unbridled excitement quivering through his tiny little body. It makes me a little sick to my stomach. Here’s why: 1) I’m […]
Great Rotary Duck Race…I didn’t win.
I am so disappointed. I really thought this time would be different. I really thought that I could potentially be a winner. I was wrong. Our area Rotary club sponsored the annual Great Rotary Duck Race this past weekend. And, man, it’s quite a race. Picture this: 64,000 rubber ducks sportin’ some swanky black shades […]
What’s your Dream Come True?
I’m going to let you all in on a little-known secret about this suburban housewife. There is something I’ve always wanted to be able to do and be really, really good at. Something I currentlyattempt todo in the car, in the shower, while watching YouTube videos… I wish I could sing. Like really sing. As […]
I spent 2 hours trying to thread my sewing machine…
First off, let me begin by saying that I wholeheartedly admire those who can sew. I think it is a craft among trueartisans and a God-given gift. It requires patience, resilience, determination and vision. It also requires an ability to thread a sewing machine. A few days ago I got an itch. I wanted to […]
I should have never bought that Halloween candy!
I made a big mistake. Huge. Humongous. I should have known better. I should have recognized my own weaknesses.I should have known when to say “no.” I should have neverbought that Halloween candy…the party pack, no less. About a week ago I was doing my grocery shopping, minding my own business, cruising along the aisles. […]
My dishwasher is my arch-nemesis…really
I seriously love me a clean house. It absolutely makes my day to know that everything is in order, clean and right where it should be. I’ve mentioned in the past that I’m horrible not-so-great-at all things outside…but housecleaning is a completely different story. The first thing I do when I wake up in the […]
“Mom, can I have a snack?”
This has got to be the most frustrating statement to be uttered out of the mouths of either one of my babes. It starts like this. “Mom, I’m full,” as Avery and Jack look at me from their reserved spaces at the dinner table,barely a discernible drop of food touched on their plates. Me: “You […]
Killing me softly…with his poop. Potty-training.
1. He pees in the toilet. 2. He hunkers down into various corners of the house, alone,to take his daily BM. 3. He has recently started taking his own diaper off and wiping himself up if I don’t catch him first. He shows all the signs of a little guy ready to be diaper-free. SO […]
