Share“What?” they reply. “I love you,” I giggle at them. That’s normally what I say to my boys every once in a while. Except one day, Fireman changed everything up on me. “Mommy?” he says my name as a question as my husband drives. “Yes, baby?” I reply, not thinking much of it. “Guess what?”…

Monologue of an Almost Four Year Old
ShareIt’s been one of those days. You know those days where you love your children yet wonder how you’re going to survive the life sentence of parenthood? Those days where if another scream, argument, whine, or just another person climbing on you will just about throw you over the edge (Sorry Hubs, consider yourself warned…
You Got Me, Mommy.
ShareLately I’ve been having an internal struggle with spirituality. My life has been in chaos (or at least seems that way to me) and I can never seem to get a grip on things around me. As soon as I figure it out it all starts to fall out of balance again. So when I…
Wussifying
ShareOh yes, I said it. Wussify. I’ve always wanted to make a word that sounded cool, but totally wasn’t and I’ve made it. Right there. Right now. Wussify. You know you’re jealous. According to Sarapedia: Wussify: the process of making our children spineless little gremlins that lack self control and the ability to have empathy….
Dirty Sheets

And Away We Ran…
ShareA few weeks ago I made plans to visit a good friend and her husband. I used to work with her, but I haven’t seen her in years because I’ve been busy popping babies out of my unmentionables and she’s been busy teaching teenage unmentionables. Hubs and I decided we should ride the train out…
She Tried to Kill Me
ShareI love my sister…really I do, but her ability to communicate is, well, sub par at best. She’s the person that won’t tell you how she really feels…no…she’ll sit there and stew and tell you it’s fine. She’ll smile her beautiful smile with a glint of hate in her eyes confusing you as to which…
