Yes, I’m a day late and a dollar short. Nothing unusual there. But since yesterday was Mother’s Day, I thought I’d check in with my latest parenting revelation.
No, it has nothing to do with discipline or how to let a teenager know you still love him when all he wants to do is slam the [...]
Just a quick post to let you all know about a wonderful program through, of all places, VH1. Go buy this:
Support Autism research and get a really cool shirt, to boot. Now how cool is that?
UPDATE: Sorry, I have tried and tried and the stupid link isn’t working right. Go HERE to buy the shirt.
My youngest is eight years old. Eight. How the heck did that happen? (Note: Come back to this in June when I’m having a crisis over the oldest turning 13.)
So Son #3’s birthday was actually last week, but the party was postponed due to Influenza A and B rearing their ugly heads at our house. [...]
Life is getting in the way of NaNoing this week. Hanging in steadily at just over 16,200 words, which means I am officially behind, folks. But I knew that would happen.
Under the good news file, though, Son #1 is a triple gold medalist at this weekend’s Special Olympics event, winning all three divisions he was [...]
I donated blood again today. After last May feeling like the floor of a taxicab, I went against my better judgment and did it again. God. I’m. Tired.
I was on the borderline to do it this time, I guess. Iron had to be X amount and I was X +1 or 2. Do you think [...]
Yes! It’s every parent’s dream day - school started this morning. I have a second grader, a fourth grader, and a sixth grader who just started middle school this morning.
Okay. THAT made me feel old.
So I hope life will be calming down to regular schedules and kids away from home for 6 hours a day. [...]
I did not have to write the grant letter.
We decided the deadline was too short and, honestly, the grant we were looking at wasn’t a perfect fit for us. Which means I had the last two days off.
So if I’m on vacation, why am I so darned tired?
Remember that Colonial Cream paint I was talking [...]
We had plans this last weekend. Friday, I was going to do some shopping, some housework, get some home improvement projects started or at least start researching them… that sort of thing. Saturday, we were going to go visit the husband’s mother and brother and the whole fam-damily. Sunday we were going to have a [...]
No, I’m not pregnant. Thank God. No, Son #3 represents our last foree into that insanity. But there’s the problem. Son #3. Not very creative and, while accurate, not exactly descriptive, either. Now I’ve seen blogs that identify children by name, which I don’t exactly object to. However, for a variety of reasons, I’m just [...]
Okay, so I was accused yesterday of being a big Scrooge this year. It’s true. I know it. Between a crazy December and a huge rush up to Christmas, I was so not in the Christmas spirit. That hasn’t exactly changed, and I’ve been itching to get rid of all the Christmas paraphernalia around my [...]
