Today was a rainy Tuesday morning, which was unfortunate because I was convinced for a good half-hour that it was already Wednesday. And being one day behind your mental calendar doesn’t bode well for your week, ya know?? Rainy days are the worst; there’s something about weeping clouds that causes my kids to get ornery […]
A Near CATastrophe
TGIF, right? It started out like a beautiful, peaceful Friday morning. I dropped the kids off at school –on time, no less… GO ME!- and headed back into the house with #6. The plan was to take advantage of the warm sunshine by planting some flowers and enjoying the great outdoors. But you know how […]
Word For Wednesday- Control
I’m sure you’re familiar with the term “control freak”. Either you know one, or you ARE one. I’m more of a B-type personality, taking things in stride, so I never considered myself to be someone who needs to be in control. As of late, I’ve seen certain aspects of myself that are more controlling than […]
I’m (P)interested
Ah, Pinterest, the app of hopes and dreams… all pinned away for future use. Or not. Lest you think I’m bashing Pinterest, let me assure you that I am not. I LOVE the app. I remember how excited I was when I first discovered it; it fulfilled all of my compulsive needs to squirrel away […]
A Mother’s Day Thank You To Single Moms
Mother’s Day is soon approaching, and I know that when I wake up tomorrow morning, my family will put their all into creating a lovely breakfast for us to celebrate the day with. There will be handmade cards covered with precious childish scribbles, perhaps a token gift, and lots of hugs and kisses. And this […]
Running Down A Dream
As a former athlete, I used to love working out in all forms. I say used to, because after the birth of my first child, my physical activity was pretty much limited to lifting small children up and down, and hauling endless loads of laundry up and down stairs. Suffice to say, it’s been a […]
Word For Wednesday- Pause
The word “pause” is a very familiar term. In my house, pause usually represents either the button I hit on the TV remote to (loudly) announce that dinner is ready. That’s for the younger kids. For my older crew, I pause the house’s internet access, which flushes the older kids out of hiding in all […]
Food For Thought
I remember how I first learned of Peapod grocery delivery service; I was working in an office, and my employer mentioned that his wife, a SAHM of four, was expecting a grocery delivery. I distinctly remember thinking, “Groceries, delivered? La-dee-fricking-da, rich people!” Then I became a SAHM myself, of many people, and began a weekly […]
Fantastic Finds- PlanAhead Mom Organizer
One of the first things that people ask me when they find out that I’m a mother of six kids is, “How do you DO it?!” There are a lot of fun responses to this question, but the reality is, with six kids, maintaining a strong hold on our schedule can be challenging. While I […]
Word For Wednesday- Patience
PATIENCE Patience is one of those words that when you’re told to have it, chances are you lose it. There are many situations that I have no issue with being patient for/in. I don’t get worked up standing on an endlessly long line in a grocery store. I have no problem waiting on hold during […]
