It’s time to get real about something that I (and some of you) am dealing with! It’s something that most of us don’t speak about – we just “deal with it” because that’s just “what women do”. We take care of our homes, our spouses, our jobs/businesses, and our children (or other people’s children). …
I put gas in my car this week! I know, that’s nothing earth shattering right? Well for me it is because in the 16 years that I have been married, I can count on both hands how many times I have actually had to put gas in my own car. See, although my husband does not…
For the last 3 days I have been sick and tired. As I type this post, I am in the bed with juice, tissues, and tea beside me. It all started a few weeks ago. I was running on empty from working late hours and trying to get my kids ready to go back to…
I took the day off from work so that I could spend it with my 4- year-old doing something fun. It was going to be just the two of us. When you are the mom of more than one child (heck, even one child!) it can be difficult finding uninterrupted time with them (and only them). I mean real…
It was a simple fishing trip. My husband and son went with men from my church to have a little fun. I figured that they would probably come back with stories to share, dirty clothes, and a few bug bites but I didn’t think they would come back with a new member of the family! Francis. …
I lost weight in my butt! OK, let me start at the beginning…about 3 months ago, I received a picture of myself from one of my friends taken at an event we attended. I felt bad for her – clearly, her camera was not functioning properly because the image in that picture looked nothing like the image…
I spend a lot of time in my car. Between work and the kids activities, I am always driving somewhere. I used to be so jealous of other drivers. I always noticed how happy people looked while driving their cars. I would see people rocking out to their favorite songs, laughing at something funny, talking…
I know, I know… it has been a while since I posted. I just came back from vacation with my family and then each of us took turns getting sick (too much fun on the beach I suppose). Anyway, As my first post back, I wanted to share something about our trip. First, you should know…
I’m a yes girl. I admit it. Need someone to help you with a task? I’ll do it. Can’t figure something out? I’ll help you. I am your go-to girl! The problem is that I sometimes give of myself at the sacrifice of my own needs or priorities- especially if I care about you. Now…
My son and I were having a showdown! It was mid-week but I wanted him to finish his homework that was due on the following Monday early because I knew we had a busy weekend. However, I had just taken a no yell challenge with a friend, so I couldn’t raise my voice (that’s another story…
