Hi folks! I can’t believe it’s been so long since I’ve checked in but it’s been a very full month. I’m sure that any of you with small, living extensions of yourselves can certainly understand. It’s Back to School month and with that comes all kinds of responsibilities that were somehow pushed to the back […]
It’s the Love of His Life
Almost five short years ago, when Jack was a teeny tiny human (now he’s just a teeny human) he was gifted with a baby blanket. I wish I could say it came from a dear Great Grandmother, handcrafted from wool she had spun herself (do you even spin wool?) or maybe as a christening gift […]
A Watched Pot Never Boils…Especially When It’s EMPTY!
You know, I don’t ask for much. I’m a provider by nature and get a whole lot of satisfaction in taking care of my family. Like most wives and/or moms I try to keep good snackies on hand for the kids, clean underwear and socks in the hubbie’s dresser drawer and a good combo of […]
“A Cobbler’s Children Have No Shoes”
Ever heard that age old adage, “A cobbler’s children have no shoes”? I’m here to tell you that it is absolutely the truth. Okay, not literally the truth as myself and my children do, in fact, own plenty of shoes. Too many, actually. Myself, an embarassing amount, if I’m being truthful. Which is a habit […]
**Crickets**
Um, hello? Hello? Anyone in this blog? **Crickets** Whew doggie, has it been quite a long time since I have stepped foot into this beautiful blog o’ mine. If I didn’t know any better I would swear that I had been transported to some alternate universe where time slowed to a fraction of its original […]
Back to “Work”
So I went on a little vacay, a brief hiatus from my daily obligations, if you will, and within 33 seconds of my arrival home I wasthrust back into the trenches as if I had never left. Ain’t that just a son-of-a-gun? My parents are Snow Bird wannabes and have been in Arizona for the […]
Down the drain
So there I was, driving myself to Safeway in my little, fuel-efficient Honda Accord, mentally running my grocery list through my distracted mind. (Let me take this moment to say Oh My God! at how expensive gas is right now. My Ford Expedition has been parked and dejected now for a good month and has […]
***Sigh*** I miss my friends.
Hi folks! Just your run-of-the-mill suburban mom here appealing to you to COME BACK! Now, I fully recognize that I’ve been M-I-A, that would be Missing in Action for you anti-acronym people. And if you are an anti-acronym person, I would have to ask “why?” And, to be honest, I am not entirely sure that […]
Another Blast from the Past
If you’ve been joining me on this stroll down memory lane (otherwise known as: old blog posts) then I present for you another glimpse into the tumultuous psyche that is my own. Recently, during my hubby’s two-week long business trip to Detroit I was reminded at how fragile my bravado can be. When an innocent […]
An Oldie but a Goodie…
I thought I might start reposting some of my earlier blog entries, from way back when my mom and sisters were literally the only ones reading them. The following post is particularly appropriate because over the last couple of weeks I have been tried, tested, used and abused in my temporary role as “head of […]
