I wear a dress almost everyday to work. (I know, you already hate this post, but keep reading!) I just love dresses. I learned early on in my fight to balance work and motherhood that getting out of the door in the mornings for work could be a real challenge. Before I left for work,…
I got 99 problems and 86 of them are completely made up in my head! That may be an overstatement. But I do have my freak out moments! Let me give you an example. Recently, I began the registration process for my oldest to attend high school in the fall. Can we pause right here?…
My youngest daughter takes really long baths. If I let her, she will stay in the tub until her skin wrinkles up or the water turns cold. Do you remember when you actually had time to sit in a tub every day? I admit it, I absolutely love it because I use that time to…
Yesterday would have been my grandmother’s 92nd birthday. At about 5ft tall, she never held her tongue (whether you wanted her to or not) and she didn’t exactly use nice words (umm, I won’t repeat them here). When my mom died, I ended up living with her and let me tell you – going from my…
Welp, I’m waiting. When I started writing this post, I was sitting in a room, waiting on the results of a diagnostic mammogram. I mean the idea of having to wait on someone to tell you very important information can be a terrible feeling. The crazy thing is that if I really think about it, I…
I am going through a break –up. It’s for the best. I am having a hard time with it and didn’t realize how hard it was going to be. I guess I should start by saying marriage can be a wonderful thing. I mean really, waking up and going to bed everyday with the…
I recently bumped into one of the moms from one of my children’s school while shopping at the grocery store. She is truly the perfect mom. It was during that encounter, that I realized I needed to clear some things up. This is merely my attempt to manage any expectations that this mom or any other…
I’m back! Did you miss me? Don’t answer that! I don’t want to know, lol! After all the stuff happening last time I wrote, I needed to take a break! So here we are again, with me sharing a quick (maybe not so quick) thought. I wanted to tell you about something that happened recently. It…
All H-E-Double- Hockey- Sticks has broken loose in my life! And I know exactly what started it. About 5 weeks ago, my husband and I sat down together and completed some goal setting. That’s right, we sat down TOGETHER and wrote out our goals. (If you are married you should really give it a try. …
Something strange happens in my house each evening. The air becomes full of noise that I really have a hard time describing. You see, my wonderful children are now budding musicians. At first, I was very excited about it. My son takes drumming lessons and is now playing trombone in the school band. My oldest…
