Being tired and ready for bed at 9 p.m. is okay. The days are long but the years are short… and any time in the doctor’s office with kids feels like years AND days. Chores for kids are a really good idea. A good-fitting bra is important… and should be off your body no later…
Old School Blogging – Full-on Random
Oooh boy, aren’t y’all glad Old School Blogging is back? I know I am! I skipped last month for some reason. February is just short, you know. And not that I have anything against short things (I am a short thing) but it just went by so fast and I had a lot going on…
Listen Up!
We’ve had so many little tiffs over the fact that he does not listen. I’ve had to say things multiples and multiples of times and then say them extra LOUDLY before he would hear me or even attempt to. Then there is usually crying and frustrated faces and harsh words and a few minutes that turned…
Lucky Day! Happy Mamas March
The other day, Gavin brought me a large clover he pulled from our backyard and asked me if it was lucky. I told him that it was not seen as lucky because it did not have four different sets of leaves, only three, as you typically find. I explained that it is considered extremely “lucky” to find…
Old Man Winter, you need to pay for my tissues.
Are you snowed-in somewhere? If not, are you tired of the winter rain and cold, like me? I have a love/hate relationship with Winter. Partly because I hate having my hands and feet cold most of the time. However, I do love a cozy sweater or blanket, or both. And perhaps a good reason to drink…
Walking From, Walking To
You spot her as you drive up – she’s walking with earnest. With her, a child grasping her hand – probably toting a cutsie backpack over their small shoulders, as they lag behind just a bit, their soft hair bouncing as they go, their steps a little unsure. That “her” is you, or well, me. I…
Big and Little Moments
Do you ever wonder if one little moment or decision in your life could have changed your future? Your destiny? I have thought about this before because Tim and I met on a weekend when it was a good possibility that only one of or us or neither of us could have been present in…
Lately
Sometimes I get so caught up in writing about things that are happening or have happened in my life, I forget that I am also just busy living this life. There is a lot happening and going on around me and with my friends and family and even my on-line life. Each new day brings…
My Love
He comes into the kitchen in his dress pants and button down shirt, clean and fresh, ready for a day of work and meetings and things I can only grasp a little. I hand him a plate of scrambled eggs and bacon and ask, “Do you want a coffee?” I smile at how handsome he…
My First Born
“Oh Mom, really?” I’ve just attempted to make a joke around him and because he is a tween he finds it very unfunny. Also, it may not have been that funny. Although I think it was at least “cute” funny. But then, I’m “old” so… I glance over at his nose that is becoming more…
