I am almost just like Kevin Bacon.
OK, you got me. The above statement is not entirely true. What now?! Alright. The statement my chosen title makes is a gross misrepresentation, but can’t a girl dream? This post is the long, winding story of my sixteenth birthday… my Sweet Sixteen. This is the story of a young, hormonal teen who did not [...]
What do you get when…
5 girlfriends celebrate 1 of those girlfriend’s 40th birthday? You get a whole lotta chocolate, a whole lotta giggling/cackling, and a whole lotta silly… with glasses… The Birthday Girl. Betcha couldn’t figure out that one. Heh. Wine glasses. NaNaNaNaNaNaNaNaNa! Bat Girl!!! Her future’s so bright – she’s gotta wear shades! Hollywood… here I come! ******************** [...]
One Year Later
Monday was the one year anniversary of Paul’s dad’s passing… from here to his new home in heaven:) I knew the “anniversary date” was coming, but when the day came it took a few hours for the reality to “sink in”. My father-in-law’s death was not a surprise. He was on dialysis and made the [...]
Confessions of a new soccer mom.
Oooh. That sounds so, so… 90210 (with Brenda and Kelly and Brandon and Dillon, not that new-fangled show – I am ALL about “old school”)… but back to soccer. I am writing about a new way of life for me, for my family. I am laying it all out, like a well-prepared student does with [...]
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times…
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it [...]
Butt, we're family!!!
Not too long ago, my husband’s aunt (a.k.a. – my aunt too!!!) emailed a few pictures of her son and his new fiance’. Perhaps I should be more specific – pictures of their butts! Can I just say, I love this family. How can you not love people who send you pictures of their butts [...]
An example of why I (mothers) can never really get stuff done.
Me: *Scurry, scurry, scurry… Clean, clean, clean…* Me: *Madly cleaning… scurry, scurry…* Me, inside voice: “By 11 I want the kitchen “mostly” cleaned, a shower, dry my hair and get 10-20 more minutes of pantry organization done…” Note: I started organizing my pantry 3 days ago. 3 full days ago. Lucy (my 3 year old): [...]
Help is not all that helpful.
***From the mind of the mother of 3 children. A post in which I propose and prove the following theory: “help” is – in fact- a form medieval torture for mothers.*** I don’t like “help”. Often times (read: every… time…), help is, actually Not. All. That. Helpful. It’s not that I want or need to do all [...]
My sister – a picture of health.
Wanna know what my sister said as she was shoving the last piece of cinnamon roll in her mouth??? Read this with a Valley Girl accent: Pizza! I don’t eat peeeeetzzaaaaa! But she does eat cinnamon rolls. She is so healthy. I love her. She’s carbo-loading for our 4 mile road race tomorrow morning. Go [...]
