Bring on the “Yeses”

January 30, 2014

Recently I have found myself caught in a world of “don’t,” “stop,” “no!” Mostly with my three year old terror, but it’s a natural part of my vocabulary. Now “Johnny Social Worker,” no need to comment on how horrible it is to communicate with your children this way. I get it, that’s why I’m blogging. You, my wonderful readers, are […]

Survival

January 29, 2014

When the time comes that all three kiddos are tucked into their beds, I can’t help but feel a giant sigh of relief. Knowing that we have survived another day, everyone relatively unscathed (that is if you don’t count Noah’s tumble down a flight of stairs and the demise of a very admired Bulls sweatshirt – perspective!!!), it is a […]

Sigh

January 23, 2014

Today was one of those days that test you as a parent. The kind of day where an hour at the gym most definitely cannot sustain you. The kind of day where your five minute shower is not the oasis that keeps you going. The kind of day where gouging out your eyes while stomping on the heart that was […]

The Ambiguous Side Dish

January 21, 2014

When attending a social gathering and one says “bring a side dish,” what does that really mean? A) Throw some pasta in a bowl and call it a side dish? B) Research an elaborate, meal alternative to impress the pants off of everyone attending? C) Pickup some slaw from Whole Foods or Sunset and pay WAY too much. D) Go […]

The Saga of Snuggles

January 20, 2014

Snuggles, the germ infested, stuffed classroom mascot was almost a goner. After putting a price on his safely recovered head, he was recovered before it was necessary to make the kindergarten teacher aware of his absence. Instead of taking accountability, I blame two groups… 1) The parents before me that have been in possession of this primate. Instead of including […]

Weekend!!!!

January 17, 2014

When Friday finally rolls around, I am never holding on tightly to the previous week. I am most certainly not pushing away the weekend. And this week is absolutely no exception to that. I have spent this week sick as a dog. I long for the days of calling in sick and sending my children to their daycare providers. If […]

Ode to the baby who never gets his naps

January 15, 2014

Why oh why is my baby always crabby??? It couldn’t be because his morning nap was stifled from preschool pickup?!?! It couldn’t be because his afternoon nap lasted a total of five minutes in the car ride over to kindergarten!!?? Why, please tell me, could such a beautiful, happy baby boy become a tyrant around 6pm?!?! The saga of the […]

Music Man

January 14, 2014

As much as I detest crawling and the stage where the outlet becomes so exciting that no matter how many times an authority figure pulls the child away from it, they find their way back. There are many things about this same stage that I absolutely love. One of the major milestones my children have each progressed through, was music […]

Break is overrated

January 9, 2014

I blogged just a few short days ago of my reluctance to getting back on schedule (read that here). To that blog I say…why???? Why would I not be elated to get back into our structure? My kids seem to thrive in a predetermined plan full of all the things they enjoy. Downtime is filled with complaints- too much screen […]

Dare I say, we’re in a rhythm?!

January 8, 2014

I’ve been known to say that it took me a solid 3-6 months to get the whole baby thing the first time around. It then took me approximately a year (mind you I worked full time so I’d venture to say I was able to avoid handling the balancing act by myself) to manage two kids together. I realize that […]
