Add this post to the millions being posted out there on the blogosphere this month. And this picture… The first day of school. Mercy on a mother’s soul.
A Tale of Pee: No. I Have A Change of Clothes
My youngest is 5. She is my third. So. Pretty much. With her being my third and being 5 and all, we are all done with “accidents”. Right? *insert look of exasperation here* SO. Yesterday. We were at the park — ALL DAY. For this: Yeah. I sang too. But more on THAT epic tale [...]
A Will of Their Own
If you took the time to search the early years of this blog, you would find many posts documenting the struggles, the humiliations, the exhaustion, the exhaustion, the desperation, and token precious moments this mom has had woven into the fabric of her motherhood journey. My earliest posts were heavy. It was a dark time. [...]
The Down and Dirty: Blogging, Motherhood and Throw Me A Rope
So. I woke up this morning needing to have *something* posted for *something* at 9 a.m. At 7 a.m. I figure there is plenty of time before 9. Right? I quickly found out that the back end of my site was running at a snail’s pace. Because snails are fun. Picture loading and linking should [...]
The Stuff of Life
When I think back to what I dreamed of as a little girl… I wasn’t terribly creative. College, marriage, children… dreams for a good, but “regular” life. OK, I also dreamed of being on Fame or Kids Incorporated, but… With the exception of Fame and Kids Incorporated, my dreams really have come true — college, [...]

The Confessional – I Confess… Stuffs

Happy Birthday to My Boy
Dear Joel, My poor boy, you are just like your mama… But lucky boy, you are your father’s son. We are both firstborns. We are both emotional. We are both particular. We are both see-ers of a glass half-empty. We both need an adjustment period when we learn a plan changes. You are just like [...]
Preschoolers: Sheesh, Don’t They Know It’s About ME?
So, a couple weeks ago, before my daughter graduated from preschool… …we went on a field trip to the local kid’s museum. In my car I had 5 preschoolers… 3 girls and 2 boys. One of the little girls (4 years old) asked, “Can we listen to rock and roll?” I was all, “DO YOU [...]
A Horse or Unicorn & Choosing What Hill To Die On
This is Lucy. She is my energetic & carefree 5 year old. She is wearing a unicorn costume. That is too small. And no shoes. At school. (In my defense, once in the schoolhouse, the kids take off their shoes and put on slippers. So it’s not as bad as it seems. Or it might [...]
