Wow. Just, wow. How on Earth did 200 +/- days go by in the wink of an eye? It defies science, really. But then so do many of the things our school-aged kids manage to do so why am I surprised? This has been quite a year, as are most. My inquisitive little squirrel monkey […]
A Gloomy, Rainy, Boring Saturday. Or is it?
Good afternoon Friends! What a positive, optimistic, glass half-full (of Captain Morgan, no less!) blog title, eh? It’s just one of those ugly kinda days. The sky is gray. And not a gorgeous chevron-striped pillow type of gray either. The dismal kind. Frizz-inducing misty rain is coming down. It’s cold. But it’s not cold. Not cold […]
Winter Woes – Frozen Popsicle People
Brrrrr. It’s cold. Like the kind of cold that hurts to the bones. And I’m not the “bony” type. I mean, I have bones. Obviously. And they’re sturdy little buggers. But I also have a nice layer, or two, keeping my bones and innards protected. You know, insulating all my important organs and stuff. And, okay. Maybe […]
You Can Learn A Lot If You Listen
Recently, while reacquainting myself with my little bloggy-blog I came across this post that for some reason only known to God and the Universe, I never published. Rather than dump it off as a missed opportunity to share I decided to include it as today’s blog post, the information still quite relevant. I threw this […]
Priorities, after all.
My son is a pagan. Or something along those lines. Recently, during one of my daily “breakdown of the school day” rap sessions with my little 2nd grader (a.k.a. behavior update and/or early planning for teacher Christmas payoffs) I discovered that Jack has recently had Santa Clause on his little brain. I shouldn’t be surprised. […]
Cider and Pumpkins and Halloween Candy…Oh My!
October. The month of apple spiced candles and warmly colored mums. The official beginning of a guilt-free spree of purchasing Kit Kats and Reese’s Peanut Butter Cups (and then repurchasing because “Ummm…what happened to those bags of candy? Damn. When did my ankles start getting fat?” The trees begin dropping their brightly colored leaves. […]
Summer Break!!
No more pencils, no more books No more teacher’s dirty looks! Now there’s chores and now there’s lists Wait, why’s my mom clenching her fists?! Welcome to Summer 2013! School’s out, the kids are home, the sun is shining and I’m back to my blog. It’s been a bit of a hectic year and a […]
The Blessed Weekend
And it’s Monday. I can’t believe how quickly the weekend goes. I remember backwhen I was a working girl (not THAT kind of working girl…gaw…although I totally would have been a Julia Roberts-typeand not her annoying co-prostitute/roommate, Kit). It seemed the week would creep along at a punishingly slow pace. I would gaze at the […]
Humiliation at the Dryer Door
On Wednesday I blogged about my 10 year-old blossoming pride and joy, Avery. In case you missed it, you can read up here. Basically, the gist of the story is that she’s growing up. Rapidly. Gone are the teeny tiny buns, andin their place slightly bigger tiny buns. She’s a burgeoning young lady in a […]
I mean, really… Who said she could grow up?!?
I’m a mother of a 10 year-old girl. Do you know what that means? I can justimagine all the mothers of girls out there raisingcollective sighs to the Universe right now. Ya get me? She’s a good girl. A really good girl, in fact. But I am starting to get glimpses into what will most […]
