T-ball
Last night was Brock’s first t-ball practice. Initially, he was super nervous because he claimed that he didn’t know how to play. However, I strongly suspect he was the Ringer because he.did.awesome. Chickety-check it out! Dirty before we even got to the field ↓ He looks like he’s about the get into a fight with [...]

Almost two weeks ago, we celebrated. We celebrated the fact that, despite all of the hurdles and temporary set-backs, my husband graduated with his Bachelor’s Degree of Science in Elementary Education. We celebrated and how much he has grown as a student in the past two years. When he first began talking about going back [...]

Important note: Yesterday I was all braggy about how I’ve lost 35 pounds since January 1st and I’ve been exercising, blah blah. Apparently this is my punishment for being boastful. Last night was the dress rehearsal for my daughter’s dance recital. Somehow, one of my cousins suckered me into being a “parent-helper” with her. Basically, the 2 [...]

I never remember inventing games when I was younger. There were always the old standbys: Tag, Red Rover, etc. but I never came up with anything on my own. If I got bored (which, thanks to my parents and their never-ending to-do lists rarely happened) I would curl up with a good book and get [...]

Yesterday was such a Monday. I feel like I say that fairly often but, man. Monday really knows how to sucker-punch you in the back, spin you around, pull your shirt up over your head and give you a wedgie. But yesterday? Yesterday was . . . Monday on steroids. Obviously Mondays at work are [...]

Yesterday and today I stayed home with Adrianna because she has been running a fever, throwing up and generally not feeling well. In fact, we took her to the ER last night because her temp reached 103 and she was shaking. Of course, my mind always goes to the worst possible situation so, of course, I assumed [...]

Dear Karma, I have completely learned my lesson and am 100% sorry for always wanting to sleep in as late as possible during the week but waking up before 6am on the weekends just to watch pointless cartoons and demand that my parents bring me snacks while I was younger. You have been successful in [...]

Last night, Brock wanted to spend the night with his grandparents and Adrianna decided that she would rather stay home with us. She still has some Christmas money so we thought we would take her shopping and have dinner and just have a little one-on-one time with our little princess. Of course she had other [...]
Read Full Post | Make a Comment ( None so far )I want this documented as proof that I’m not the meanest mom ever, despite what my kids usually say
I’m really bad about doing creative things with the kids. I always envy those mothers that have it all together because usually I feel like I’m just barely hanging on. We are usually running late, the kids are whining about being hungry/thirsty/tired/bored/etc, if I’m lucky I have clean hair (but it’s usually in a ponytail) and [...]

Sometimes you reach a point as a parent and realize that you, unfortunately, have passed on a less-than-favorable trait to your kids. I’ve always been high-strung. I’ve always been a typical Type-A, just-do-it-my-way-and-we-will-get-along type. It only makes sense that my kids would be the same way. One thing that I hadn’t really anticipated was passing [...]
