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 [...]
Confession Log – Tuesday, September 9, 2008. 1300 hours.
Pin itI yelled at my kids today. Really. Yelled. I think I popped a blood vessel in my neck. I know the kids’ eyes nearly popped outta their heads at all the yellin’ that went on… Oh how beautiful their dear mother must have looked to them as she frothed at the mouth… (frothed??? I am mentally [...]
BlogHer '08… Finally – A recap! Part 1 of ???
Pin itPre-post business (heh, I wrote “business”): Due to my poor technical skillz – I can’t fix my broken WordPress photo uploader… I am afraid to add a Flickr application for WordPress to load my pics in a post (instead of the WordPress uploader)… and my “blog this” settings are jacked in Flickr so I [...]
Confession – Olympic Dreams
Pin itI have admitted this to friends, but to admit this in a wider forum fells kinda silly. However, ya’ll know I want to keep it real wit’cha so here goes… I have always wanted to swim in the Olympics. As long as I can remember. I started “competing” in my local summer swim club [...]
Confession – Cosmetic Surgery
Pin itIf I had the hard cold cash, or room in my budget to make the monthly payment on a credit plan… I would totally get my tummy “done”. After gaining 50+ pounds in each of my 3 pregnancies, and then losing 50+ pounds three times… Miss Belly just couldn’t handle the pressure. All that [...]
"Training" Schmaining
Pin itSo, I have been posting a buncha garbage about this thing I call “training”. I have a half-marathon I intend to complete in a few weeks and I do not want to be unprepared – so I “train”. But I’ve been thinking lately. I am keeping track of my “physical” preparations, but not my [...]
Confession: I Don't Sew
Pin itI use this: I have sewn… There was the awful 4-H-green and white dress I made when I was 10ish (for 4-H)… And there was that one stress-filled week before Halloween of ’02 where I made my 3-year-old son an astronaut suit. Like he cared. He won’t remember my pain, but I do… I [...]
Confession – My Nose
Pin itI want a ring in it. No, not “tribal”, but just a small shiny thing. Small. Really tiny, but sparkly. I worry about what the neighbors would think, what my friends who are parents of teenagers would think, what the new mommies I am making friends with would think, what the pastors would think, [...]
Want to feel like a good mom?
Pin itCheck this out: Unbeknownst to me, my son’s shoes were in desperate shape. There were a few times he would off-handedly mention his feet were getting wet at recess. I was all, yeah… cuz he plays in the wet grass. We live in the Pacific Northwest. Wet, wet, wet… Duh. Apparently, there was a [...]
Confession – My Corruption
Pin itI am ruined. Ruined I tell you. Completely ruined. I used to be innocent. I used to be blissfully ignorant. I used to be young But now… but now… Two words. Two little words have been forever changed for me. When I hear them, I giggle like a junior high-er who’s teacher just said, [...]
