Recovering

So I’ve discovered that there is no such thing as easing back into motherhood.  I arrived home late Monday night to a relatively neat and tidy house.  But by lunchtime on Tuesday, it looked like a cyclone had hit and left me for dead.  I simply could not get back into the swing of things.  [...]

Out of the Mouth of Babes

The context is in the car, riding to school.  Me, clearly agitated:  Oh, no.  I forgot the pretzels for snack.  Argh.  I’ll have to drop you off and go back and get them. C:  No you didn’t.  They’re right here. Me:  Oh, good.  I thought I left them at home. C: And if you did, [...]

Hanging Up My Keyboard

American Idol Recap – THE FINALS!

The Homecoming

Wow.  It’s been so long since I’ve blogged, I feel like I’ve forgotten how!  I had a great time on vaca, but of course it’s always wonderful to be with my family again.  I received quite the royal mommy welcome.  Although it wasn’t exactly the fairytale homecoming that I had envisioned.  You know, with the [...]

I’m a Model!

A few weeks ago, I mentioned feeling like I was in a bit of a style rut, what with my uniform of jeans and t-shirts.  There were a lot of interesting and differing comments, but one really stuck out to me.  Nicole said: I have decided I will only buy something if I feel good [...]

Parenthood

Before I had kids, I had a picture of exactly what sort of parent I would be.  As a teacher and a nanny for many years, I had lots of experience with children.  I read lots of parenting books while I was pregnant.  I loved kids, and I looked forward to being a parent. And, [...]

I’m Leavin’ On A Jet Plane

All my bags are packed, I’m ready to go… I won’t be posting from my fabulous vacation destination.  There will be internet access, but I will be way too busy gabbing and eating po’boys and hushpuppies and gabbing and drinking margaritas and, you know, gabbing to have time to post.  Besides, our Hostess with the [...]

She’s making a list, and checking it twice…

Plane tickets… check. Pedicure… check.  New flip-flops… check. Ipod… check. Frivolous gossip rag… check. (I know.  I should be ashamed.  But at least it’s People and not Star or something.  A girl’s gotta have some standards.) Camera… check. Battery chargers… check. Diapers…  WAIT.  I won’t be needing those! *pauses for happy dance* *resumes packing* Stylish [...]
