It’s a Bad Dream, Right?
I haven’t wanted/been able to blog for the last few weeks for 2 reasons. First, I’ve been too busy finishing up some pro-bono design work, and second, I want this reason to go away. If I close my eyes, it never happened, right? When I was a kid and wrecked my uncle’s minibike I thought [...]
Yep, I saved the umbilical cords…
I was catching up on Dave’s blog over at The 100 Thing Challenge. On Facebook a suggestion was made to make a change for a solid month. Something big. No TV. No plastic. Get rid of 10 things everyday. I’m going to come up with something, but I’m sure Dave doesn’t think I can. I [...]
Do Nothing for 2 Minutes
I could do nothing for an entire day. Click here to hear beautiful ocean waves and see if you can do nothing for 2 minutes. Yes, I failed, but I could have done better if my iPhone would have been nearby.
Path of Truancy
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.” – Ferris Bueller Yep, I’m forcing my 13-year-old daughter to skip school after lunch today so we can see a volleyball game. When she left this morning, she asked, “so mom, am I going to be [...]
I’m the Worst Parent in the World
Is it psychosomatic, an insufficient enzyme production, a H. Pylori infection (like do you think I could really get him to eat broccoli sprouts?), lactose intolerance, colitis, Celiac, a hernia, and/or something. There is no fever, vomiting and/or diarrhea. Daily stomach ache? I give!! It all started 3 weeks ago. Eddie was in his room [...]
I said Yes
I said “Yes” to chairing my son’s elementary school directory committee again this year. Wait, for it to be a committee, you need more than 1, right? Okay, It’s not exactly a committee. It’s a? I don’t know what it is? So much for cooking, cleaning, gardening, exercising, blogging, oh, and working. Wait? Can I [...]
I hate school
Before I had children I thought once they went to school the mother would tinker around the house. You know, a little laundry, baking a batch of cookies, coffee with friends, all along with a little yard work, oh and my freelance design business… WRONG. I’m crazed. I’ve filled out enough forms in the last [...]
Why is There a Pig Head on the Stovetop?
Last Sunday I came home to a pig head being boiled on top of the stove. Why? Eddie came upon a pig roast and asked for the head. Why? He wants a skull to put on his door. The pig stayed in the pot all night after boiling for the majority of the evening. It [...]
We were robbed last night
Crash. Bark. Bark. 5:00 AM. Eyes wide open. I can’t hear anything, but the air conditioner’s hum. Why does my husband need white noise to sleep? I prefer to hear sirens, horns, and birds. Did I dream the loud crash? Did the dog bark? Should I go downstairs and check? The burglar alarm is set, [...]
What is an Idiot Mom?
Have you ever been on the phone talking to customer service and the person on the other end says, “hold on, let me connect you with someone who can help.” Then you hear them say, “I’ve got an ID ten T on line 4.” That’s an Idiot Mom aka ID10T Mom. I was blogging about [...]
