Well. Here I am. I’ve been looking forward to being able to write this post for months. Now the day is here, the time has come, and I’m not sure how to begin.
If you’re a friend of mine, or a family member or even a regular reader of this blog, then you know the shlumping [...]

Well, so much for the Blog Dare! I haven’t written a post for three days! It’s not that I didn’t want to, it’s just that it was an imp0ssibly busy week and there was no time to get everything done.
In my defense, blog posts weren’t the only things that didn’t get done this week. I [...]

One of the most difficult tasks a parent has is finding someone capable of caring for your children on the occasions that dictate you must leave them at home when you go out.
I thought I had someone I could rely on. Someone who could care for them as well, if not better, than I. I’ve [...]

Today is nearly done. If I were to give it a grade, I’d go with B+.
On the up side:

My work-at-home husband was gone most of the day so I had the house to myself (well my daughter and the dog were here, but you get the idea).
I was super productive while he was gone. Many [...]

I recently read a post by Pauline Karwowski over at Classy Chaos entitled  I can’t make this stuff up. #worstmomoftheyear. In it, she tells the tale of how her beautiful daughter ended up wearing a cheerleading costume to preschool on picture day. I encourage you to read the post, it’s very entertaining, but the short [...]

Not tonight dear, I have a headache. And by “dear,” I mean Blog Dare.
You know the drill, one post a day for a year. It was a dare. I have to do it.
Not. in. the. mood.
I have a couple good ideas for posts, but they will require thought, gathering pictures and concentration to write.
Not. in. [...]

I’ve been off my game the last two weeks–or has it been three?…not sure why.
I’m in a funk.
I wouldn’t say it’s depression, it’s just a total lack of motivation to get anything done.
As a busy mother of four, being in a funk for an hour can put me behind the 8 ball. But being there [...]

As you may know, I took the Community of Mom’s Blog Dare–write a blog post every day for one year. I’m 35 days in.
I’m really enjoying this for many reasons. One of them is that I’m getting to know other bloggers through Community of Moms. I’m learning from and being entertained by them. I hope [...]

If there was one thing I hated as a child, it was going to the dentist. His name was Dr. Kennedy. He was old (well, he probably wasn’t but he seemed like it to me). He had shaky hands (so maybe he was old).
It was scary. It was painful.
During my early adult years, I didn’t [...]

I’m only 42. And just barely, I might add. That’s not so old, right?
I had two experiences today that tell me different.
First, I was feeling left out from the current facebook profile picture craze of “change your profile picture to someone famous that people have said you look like.” No one has ever really told [...]
