It is 9:oo am on a Wednesday morning and I am still in bed. I have been up since 7:30 listening to the boys playing in the next room. But here I am on my laptop, playing with Pinterest (oh goodness, all signs point to a new addictive distraction!), following some twitter action, and otherwise… Read More
Channeling Dr. Phil
Share post:
I have been working late a lot lately. I could blame it on the upcoming holidays and the bleary-eyed mad dash to the finish line of 2011. I could probably blame it on a lot of things. But it doesn’t really matter why exactly; the only point here is that I have been leaving the… Read More
Sunday Confession: Advice I Give and Ignore
Share post:
So, as is my sometimes Sunday tradition, I am using tonight for my confessional. Here goes… In my life as mother, friend, sister, wife, co-worker and manager I sometimes find myself giving advice to others that I truly believe is right–and that I also know I don’t follow myself. I want everyone around me to… Read More

Wow. ‘Tis the season to be overwhelmed. Tonight I wasted time designing 17 different holiday/Festivus/New Year’s cards and am still not sure which one to go with. Yeah, I know it is Dec 8. Guessing New Year’s will win by default. Then I wasted more time trying to buy my husband’s last gift online. It… Read More
Comfort and Joy

Little L loves his blanket. Whenever he is upset he wails, “I….want….my…blanket.” And as soon as he gets it, he pops his thumb in his mouth, sticks the corner of the blanket up his nose and peace is restored. He really does stick the corner UP his nose. One day he instructed me on how… Read More

Intro/Apology: I promised to blog every day in the month of November via the BlogHer NaBloPoMo. I started out strong. Gangbusters right out of the gate. And by November 8 it was all over. Work, PTO (when can we go back to calling it the PTA?), two business trips, one family trip and Thanksgiving all… Read More
Sharing is Caring…Ick
Share post:
I teach my kids to share and share alike. It’s nice to share your toys, your crayons–and because my boys are so close in age–your clothes and even your friends. And I’m sure that with all the sharing and passing of books and toys and Darth Vader masks that goes on in this house we… Read More
Sunday Night Confession
Share post:
It is that time again…Sunday night confession time. Maybe it’s the lapsed Catholic in me (sorry, Mom) but Sunday always makes me introspective and quiet. Especially Sunday night. I’m exhausted and ready to curl up in bed. But if I do, then Monday will be here that much sooner. OK, so I know time doesn’t… Read More
How You Play the Game
Share post:
These days it is all too common to hear unbelievable stories about parents getting into fist fights at T-ball games or moms plotting to sabotage the athletic careers of rival cheerleaders. And you think, “Dude, those parents are cra-azy! Those poor kids.” I didn’t throw any punches today and I still think those parents are… Read More
Me and My FiveHead
Share post:
I am not opposed to plastic surgery. Having three kids in 38 months did a number on my belly. We are talking permanent outie belly button and weird, elephant knee-like skin texture. Not pretty. Plus, I have diastasis recti, which basically means my abdominal muscles spread apart during pregnancy and never went back together again.… Read More
