I've been married to my lovely husband for 14+ years and I'm still madly in love with him. I also still find him attractive but that doesn't mean I don't get annoyed by some of the things he says. Here's what he says that drives me bananas: 1. Where's the remote? -- Maybe if you would get off your ass, you'd find it. Most of the time he's sitting on it. 2. I can't find it! -- Well if you look right, you'll find it. It's not gonna pop out and say here I am! 3. What's for dinner? -- … [Read more...]
Motherhood: I’m A Mean Mom. Are You?
November 4, 2010 by 10 Comments
Someday when my children are old enough to understand the logic that motivates a parent, I will tell them, as my Mean Mom told me: I loved you enough to ask where you were going, with whom, and what time you would be home. I loved you enough to be silent and let you discover that your new best friend was a creep. I loved you enough to stand over you for two hours while you cleaned your room, a job that should have taken 15 minutes. I loved you enough to let you see … [Read more...]
Where Do You Keep Your Home Computer?
October 5, 2010 by 4 Comments
Being that there are so many online predators nowadays, I often wonder where the majority of parents keep their home computers in the home. Before my last child was born, we had the extra room as our "computer room." Back then I wasn't worried about my kids entering a site that was inappropriate or them looking at videos on YouTube (there are some ridiculous videos on that site that should be rated xxx). Now that my kids range from 5 to 14 years old, I'm not taking any chances on anything … [Read more...]
Just One More Day
September 7, 2010 by 6 Comments
Today is officially my children's last day of summer. Believe it or not, I still have some last minute things to buy on their school lists and I also have to buy my older two a few more outfits (I bought my 5 y/o her school clothes back in January at a tremendous deal). There's nothing worse than being a last-minute mommy. My kids have been very excited for weeks about their first day of school which is tomorrow. They're even more excited because they're all going to be attending new schools. … [Read more...]

How did that happen? 14 years flew right by me. My baby boy is no longer a baby but I still see that baby face when I look at him at 14 years old. My goodness, I miss my son as a baby.

Mom Ramblings: Motherhood And Blogging Are A Lot Like Oil And Water
August 20, 2010 by 10 Comments
It's true. When comparing motherhood and blogging, oil and water comes to mind. Sometimes it's so hard for me to mix the two. Somewhere along the line I have to find balance but motherhood usually wins. I have three children, I can't help it. I'm a mom first, then a blogger -- the way is should be, right? This summer has been extremely busy and full of swimming lessons and camp a few days a week for my younger two. So when there are no lessons or camp and the weather is way too hot to … [Read more...]
The Moment I Knew | E.P.T. Blog Tour
July 16, 2010 by 11 Comments
Thinking about saving my pregnancy tests often disgusted me (C'mon, you pee on it!) so after using one after finding out I was pregnant, I would just throw it away. Little did I know that I was going to find a long-lost ept test years later. A few weeks ago, I was clearing out my nite stand and I found a miscellaneous envelope. I opened it and I found a pregnancy test that I used for my last child. I forgot to throw the last one away (from my 3rd child) and now regret throwing the first … [Read more...]
Happy Father’s Day To All The Dads & Single Mamas
June 20, 2010 by 2 Comments
To my dad, my papi, you are always in my thoughts and my heart. I think about the times you spent with me guiding me and filling my mind with your wisdom. You were always thoughtful, caring and a very loving father. Even after the divorce, you never let that get in the way of your love for us. You made sure to see my sister and I every week. You never once not kiss or hug me. You taught me how a father should be. I'm so glad and very fortunate I got to spend 19 beautiful years with you. May … [Read more...]
I Love Summer But….
June 15, 2010 by 4 Comments
When I want my kids to go to bed at a decent time, they don't. Why? Because they say it's still light out. My five year old says "mom, it's not time for bed yet - I can still see the trees. When it's night time and I can't see the trees anymore, then it's bedtime." WTH? Don't get me wrong. I love the long summer days when you can hang out and enjoy the night time air but when it comes to putting my kids to bed so I can spend some quality time with my hubby, I can't. Maybe I … [Read more...]
