You Can Learn A Lot If You Listen

October 17, 2013 by Mindy Leave a Comment

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.

October 15, 2013 by Mindy 1 Comment

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. […]

Let the Soccer Begin!

September 20, 2012 by Mindy Leave a Comment

Picture it: Numerous sets of banged up knees running chaotically through a field of grass, the object of their one-track minded goal bouncing back and forth from ankle to ankle. The buzz of excitement over any potential contact with said object is palpable to those watching this familiar dance. And then picture this: On the […]

It’s the Love of His Life

August 15, 2011 by Mindy 4 Comments

Almost five short years ago, when Jack was a teeny tiny human (now he’s just a teeny human) he was gifted with a baby blanket. I wish I could say it came from a dear Great Grandmother, handcrafted from wool she had spun herself (do you even spin wool?) or maybe as a christening gift […]

A test of fortitude. God, I hate tests.

Good morning my friends! I thought I ought to take a second to assure those of you who check in on me that I am indeed alive and well, although I suspect my blood pressure might be a skosh high. The reason for my absence and the 130/80 readingyou might ask? His name is “Jack” […]

Please tell me you haven’t forgotten about me…

October 1, 2010 by Mindy 16 Comments

Okay. So, I’ve been a little missing-in-action lately. I have no real solid excuse other than the fact that I’ve had laundry up the wazoo, a voluntarily working-from-home husband who still refuses to occasionally drive his computer-savvy arse to the office thereby refusing to afford me fleeting moments of freedom from staring at the back […]

Jackisms

September 17, 2010 by Mindy 10 Comments

Amidst the numerous advantages to having Avery back in school is one that kind of crept up on me a bit. I was so focused on the fact that Jack was starting two day per-week preschool this year that I hadn’t really given much thought to the other three days he would be home with […]

Burning the Midnight Oil…

May 5, 2010 by Mindy 11 Comments

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 […]

An Alternate Universe?

April 26, 2010 by Mindy 14 Comments

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 […]

An Odd Obsession

March 18, 2010 by Mindy 14 Comments

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 […]
