Guess who has two thumbs and has really missed blogging this past week? This girl! Here’s the things that I learned from my blogging hiatus: 1) I love blogging. It was hard to just put down the mouse and walk away even though I needed to. 2) I blog too much. My house looks unbelievably…

Last night, after a particularly bad week as a mom, I got into an epic fight with my husband. You know, the perfect punctuation to a bad day if there ever was one. Especially since my husband and I never fight. Bicker? Absolutely. But rarely fight to the point where feelings get hurt. Then I…
When I was young I volunteered with a youth Autism program. I remember coming home after a week and telling my mom, “I cannot do this. It’s too hard. This week I have been spit on, kicked, punched, bitten, scratched and peed on! It’s insanity!” But she just would not let me quit. Even though…
Yesterday, while at the park, I noticed a woman with a child just about Jp’s age. The first thing that I saw was that she was in helicopter-mom-low-hover mode. She kept looking around, as if to see who was watching, with this extremely strained smile on her face the whole time. She was apologizing every…

Oh, poor Clark Kent. What a dork, right? He’s a fumbling, bumbling news reporter that never gets the girl solely because she is in love with his hotter, better alter ego, Superman. He means well, he truly does, but people just couldn’t give two shakes about him until he sheds those nerdy glasses in the…

Yesterday, at the Carousel- which is Jp’s favorite thing in the world right now- looked like this… Take it easy, kid! And we had to lure him out of the mall in, what I call “Hansel and Gretel style”, with gummy bears… Follow the colorful bears like hippies follow the Grateful Dead… So, after that…

Hey you! Yes, you. I know that you are doing your best. I know that parenting isn’t a game for the faint of heart or weak of spirit. I know that you sometimes sit up late at night wondering if you are doing the right thing, if you are good enough, or if you are…
I spent two and a half hours cleaning my house today. Two and a half hours (and this is just a regular day) scouring every available surface to eradicate dirt and grime. 7:30 PM… It looks like heathen slobs -brought up in a barn- raising Tasmanian Devils that were dying of starvation have been camping…
Today, my good blogging buddy, Don of all Trades, wrote a post of things that he has done but would never do again. I listed some majors (some highly illegal) but it really got me to thinking. Because the truth is…aside from some academic accomplishments, I wouldn’t do 99% of the things that I partook…
