We’re currently in the final days of building our house. In 23 days, we’ll be homeowners again. We’ll start the process of unpacking, sorting, tossing out the old things we no longer need and want or which no longer fit our idea of what our home should look like. We’ll search for new(er) things to […]
Dear Lady Who Judged Me Today
I don’t know if it’s just my kids, these ages they’re in, stages of development, the sun and moon in terrible alignment, or something else altogether, but I would rather have a root canal than take my children into a store. Any store. Mostly, Emma has a serious case of Ants In Her Pants and she […]
Flotsam
Look, I’m basically exhausted because March is Birthdaypalooza, I’m averaging 4.5 hours of sleep a night, my children decide to wake up before the crack of dawn every morning and I’m about to embark on three four-hour car trips in the next 10 days. What that means is that this post, long overdue, btw, is […]
Diary of Depression
Monday: Wow. These kids are live wires this morning. I know I just woke up but I really want to go back to sleep. Is it too soon to go back to sleep? Maybe I’ll feel better after yoga. I wish this gym had a different yoga class, or that there were some familiar faces in […]
Legos Behavior Chart (Free Printable!!)
We are 3.5 days into summer vacation. I have good news and bad news. The good news is that I have successfully determined the need for some sort of behavior modification plans approximately 6.5 weeks earlier than I discovered the usefulness of such a device last summer. The bad news is that I need some sort […]
All Done
I DID IT! I did it! With this post I have posted every day for 30 days straight! I KICKED NABLOPOMO ASS (and all I got was 30 blog posts). I tried this last year and I made it about 15 days before I just gave up. There were a few times this month where […]
Hello, Old Sport
Hello, Old Sport. Such an unfamiliar yet recognizable sight. “Gatsby believed in the green light… It eluded us then, but that’s no matter — to-morrow we will run faster, stretch out our arms farther. . . . And one fine morning —— So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the […]
A Grammar (and exercise?) Mistake You Need To Stop Making
Have you seen the “What’s YOUR excuse?” mom’s picture floating around the internet? If you haven’t don’t worry. This isn’t about that because I don’t care what you look like as long as you like what you look like. But that inspired this little rant-ucational blog post about a grammar (and exercise?) mistake you need […]
Where’s Your Head At? Alternate Title: Tough Calls
This is a tough post to write, but because I believe in being honest, I can’t not write it. And it’ll be choppy and vague in parts and I’ll do my best to explain as much as I can but some of this just isn’t my story to tell, so fill in the blanks, I […]
Completely Irrational Confession #1
I have a tag here on the blog called “completely irrational.” I don’t display tags because it looks kind of ugly on this theme when I do, but the tag is there somewhere in the string of letters I don’t understand that make things go around here. Anyway. Enough of the mini-lesson in the backend […]
