Calgon; PLEASE Take Me Away( and don't bring me back)!!!

I am a Mom of all trades, though aren't we all? I believe those who we call family expect us to know it all and do it all, and heaven forbid if we don't, we will hear it. As a mom of so many, I am pulled into so many directions,I had no choice to self nick name myself; Scarecrow, I am 1 minute wiping the 2 and a half year old and a split second later I'm making a sandwich for the 5 yo or chasing a dog out of the bathroom, or tracking…

Diary of a Not So Perfect Mom

Any mom that states she is the perfect mom is fooling only herself. For you see, we never are perfect, in others eyes , and , sometimes by our own standards. I like to think I am, but I do so in hopes my children will follow my guidelines for parenting. That's not working. When you are up all night making a last minute costume for school, you think; "wow, I did it, I wanna see some other mom do this!", and it is done, some other mom,… Continue

The Path to Perfect Panties

My favorite book of all time is The Sweet Potato Queens’ Book of Love by Jill Conner Browne. In it describes the theory of never wearing panties to a party. I think that is awesome advice. Going commando is immensely liberating. There is something slightly naughty about it that gives the day an edge of excitement. Also there are no pesky panty lines to worry about and no shelf for the flob to sit on. If there is no shelf then there is no flob, right? RIGHT? Sort of like my idea that I…

Peanut Butter and Giraffe's Tails.

So tonight we crossed another big milestone. The introduction to....*drumroll* peanut butter! PB is one of those things that you spend the entire first year of parenthood simultaneously wondering about and dreading. Will he have an allergic reaction? Will it get stuck in his hair, be impossible to clean, thus forcing an impromptu 'first' haircut? Will he hate it? Will his baby lips get sealed shut from the stickiness?…

that light at the end of the tunnel...it may be just a train

My GP said this to me this morning and it's not yet certain whether she is extremely insightful or some type of witch doctor that cursed me because the rest of the day so far has confirmed that the light everyone refers to at the end of the proverbial tunnel is in fact a train about to run us down.…

Savoring the Silence

The house is still. The only noise I hear is the hum of the refrigerator. I’m basking in the quiet and trying to make it last as long as I can. Because…today is the last day of school. A day I’ve been dreading more than a gynecological visit or a root canal.

Professional Blogging

Have you ever thought about making money from your blog? I'm not talking about advertising or even doing sponsored posts, but blogging in a professional capacity. I've thought about it myself even though I will always see my blog as a hobby. I spend such a lot of time reading and commenting on blogs, introducing myself to someone new on a daily basis, that the amount of blogs I now follow well exceeds 1,000.

Workout Meltdown

When I am quiet about my workouts and diet, it means one of two things - 1) I am just humming along, working out and eating healthy as normal, 2) I am flying under the radar because I have fallen off the wagon.

I feel ridiculous talking about my diet and exercise plan when people are losing everything they have, even their lives in tornadoes. But people all over the nation are talking about who won American Idol, Arnold Schwarzenneger's love child and baby mama (still!), and of…
