Yes, my summer has consisted of roughly 99.7% kid-supporting efforts. But every rare once in awhile, I DO get the chance to escape the confines of the madhouse. Recently, however, I got the chance to do something that I’ve pretty much dreamed of since about ninth grade. In a word: IN CONCERT. Yup, confession: I’m […]
Open The Floodgates…
Sometimes, the noise level in the house detracts from being able to string together words into sentences that create posts. Today, it’s not so much the noise level INSIDE the house, but OUTSIDE of it that’s distracting. To be specific, it’s really the noise ON TOP of the house. I’ll explain. It’s obviously been a […]
Go 4th
Happy 4th of July, everyone!!* *Wet firecrackers fizzle into puddle in the pouring rain.* This year’s 4th of July was a rather damp one, but was initially very disappointing for my crew. The reason for the angst was that the rain meant a cancellation of the massive, festive and patriotic yearly extravaganza, a.k.a., “Aunt L’s […]
Final Thoughts
For a lot of us, this morning was a typical summer Friday morning; sun streaming through the windows as breakfast was served, and plans made to spend time outdoors, enjoying the free time and great weather. For one family, though, today is a day like no other. It’s a day that unfortunately will be remembered […]
A Great Catch
I had planned to tell you all about #1’s graduation from elementary school this past Friday- a lighthearted yet poignant anecdote to share with you just how quickly time has flown. I’ll still tell you about it, but forgive me if this post lacks the usual humor. I’m not feeling it. (I’ll explain.) I will […]
All The Small Things
By no means should I be sitting here writing this post. There is a plethora- (anyone over 30 thinks of the same thing when they hear this word…) -of things to be done. And while I should be doing them, I’ve hit the wall. I’m toast, peeps. I could give you the million and one […]
“It’s Just Like Riding A Bike”
Confession: I don’t own a bike. I used to. Remember the days of old, when you and your tween friends would hop on your bikes and ride for hours, without your parents having a blessed clue where you were?? It’s been years since I’ve owned one, but that doesn’t really bother me. I don’t even […]
Spring Sing
It’s almost the end of the school year, so of course the events, ceremonies, parties, and concerts are piling up on the family schedule. If you looked at my kitchen calendar, it’s color-coded listings resemble something like this for the next month or so: But this past Tuesday night was a big one- the elementary […]
No Park-ing: 10 Reasons I Dread The Playground
Spring has sprung, baby! Ah, the warmth, the shining sun, longer days. You already know how I feel about being cold, so the change has been great. And that, in turn, has made everything so much easier. Ah, yes. Spring finally means throwing open your windows and allowing the fresh air to whirl those pesky […]
The Hidden Moments
Sometimes, post topics immediately make themselves known via a funny moment or touching experience. At other times, it can be tougher to instantly produce a viable post idea. The reality is, much of the nuts and bolts of daily life as a SAHM doesn’t bear sharing, simply for the sake of being repetitious. So I […]
