What makes a house a home?

November 7, 2011

As our move gets closer, Drew is starting to struggle with the idea of not living here. He has mentioned that he wants to bring the walls with, today he wants the carpet, and frequently he asks about his toys coming too. It’s so obvious that he is really working hard to wrap his little head around the idea of […]

The Ark

November 3, 2011

This year Drew’s class is raising money for a charity. The first week they did this he wouldn’t give the money I had given him to his teacher. He insisted that he needed more toys, as if the mounds of toys we have scattered around our house are not enough. This made me realize, to reiterate yesterday’s blog, that I […]

How do I turn a blind eye?

November 2, 2011

There are so many things I am looking forward to about our upcoming move. However I am, per usual, going to take a moment to mention one of the largest things I am least looking forward to. Although we currently live in an upscale community, we do not live in an atmosphere that is quite as affluent as the one […]

Reflection

November 1, 2011

Previous to having kids, my life was defined by my accomplishments. The stage at which my life was at dictated everything I did and every way I thought. Now my life is so wrapped up in what my kids are doing. Almost to a fault… There is a substantial self motivation in the enjoyment I get from my kids. I’m […]

Marathon Mom

October 31, 2011

Woman runs a marathon and gives birth to her second child right after completion of the race. At this point that is practically old news but I keep thinking about that lady. And apparently there are quite a few other ladies that have conquered the same quest. Article Here One of my closest friends completed the marathon a couple of […]

Help Wanted

October 26, 2011

I have not been quiet about how amazing my husband is (re: Adam’s Spell). In addition to his endless patience with me and my craziness, he is good at so many things! He honestly is the best dad a kid could ever ask for. He is excellent tech support. He has the best sense of humor of anyone I know, […]

Mommy Needs a Nap

October 25, 2011

I have found my least patient time of day is the fifteen minutes before naptime or bedtime. It could be the most successful day full of fun but around 2:15 or 7:45 Tyrant Mommy comes out. It’s similar to the monster that comes out when these children are due for sleep, but it’s my temper tantrum. It used to be […]

Moving on up…

October 24, 2011

I have a confession, I haven’t exactly been forthcoming in the last couple of months. May sound strange since I offer up stories about my life and my feelings so freely. I’m not sure the blogger responsibility in sharing intimacies of your life. All I know is that my feelings were so tender that I didn’t feel comfortable opening up […]

Kung Foo Drew

October 23, 2011

Friday night I was totally THAT mom. I was that mom that wanted her kids to go to sleep so that I could unwind and have adult time. I realize that I’m not completely to blame for feeling this way. I spend a lot of time nowadays caring for them and being with them, that it makes sense I want […]

Play Time!!

October 21, 2011

Two days ago I did the unthinkable. What is so incomprehensible is not only that I did it but what took me so long? I played with Gabby with age appropriate toys! Oh my goodness! The experience was quite amazing on several levels. For one, I realized that I spend the vast majority of the time shlepping my kids to […]
