On Thankfulness
Pin itThis time of year tends to bring a time of reflection… a time of examination. This holiday, in particular brings out the “I’m so thankful” attitude… A holiday with a name like THANKSgiving will lead a person to behave in such ways… I have so much to be thankful for, yet I find I [...]
Note to self: In order to resist Candy Cane Oreos
Pin it Maybe I’ll give reverse psychology a chance. {{{Que trance music… Commence swinging of pocket watch in pendulum manner…}}}: Candy Cane Oreos taste like poop. Candy Cane Oreos are of the Devil. The crunch of Candy Cane Oreos are reminiscent of the feeling of biting into a cockroach. Candy Cane Oreos carry the plague. [...]
Letting Go: Musings of a Mother
Pin itBefore becoming a mom I never thought: I’d allow MY children to wear a saggy diaper. I’d yell at the sweet and innocent fruit of my loin. I’d wear socks with flip flops, but only in emergencies… I’d wonder if I had birthed the spawn of the devil. ***The “threes” are the worst. Watch. [...]
And another punch to the chest, or ego… whichever.
Pin itI am a “stay at home mom”. Dooce has a humorous, yet “PG-13″ rated acrostic-of-sorts as her creative “title” for this highly esteemed role on her “about” page… My friend Jen created the You Might Be A Stay At Home Mom Saturday on her blog… which helps chronicle the moments that define us, overwhelm us, [...]

Confessions of a new soccer mom.
Pin itOooh. 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 [...]
The first day of school – pictures and all!
Pin itWhew. I made it. For some reason, sending my daughter off to 1st grade – a FULL day of school was terribly hard. It hurt. I ached. I cried. I felt silly. My son was headed to third, the wee one was tearing it up at preschool. With those two – we hugged and [...]
And THAT, my friends, is how it's done…
Pin itDid you have opportunity to read yesterday’s post? I was a pathetic, overwhelmed, wallering mess. Very real-feeling, but pathetic and wallering… undoubtedly. Wal-ler-ing: v. when a chubby baby is oozing pints of green snot and her chubby hands rub, rub, rub that snot all over her cheeks and eyes and ears and hair. She [...]
