Rugrats

There has been a whole heck of a lot of packing going on in the last few weeks. And with all the packing I’ve done, I decided that packing for a trip has got to be the worst! Don’t get me wrong, packing glasses and weird shaped objects in such a way that nothing breaks is no day in the […]

Recently I read an article explaining that my former employer will be laying off 25% of their employees, most of them coming from sales (which is where I was). One nasty evening last February when I was whining about my ongoing woes of being a working mother, Adam told me he thought I should quit my job. At first I […]

What happens when you take two kids and you make them the only grandchildren on both sides…SPOILED ROTTEN! Clearly the grandparents aren’t the only ones to blame. My children want for nothing.

I’ve learned a few valuable lessons over the last couple of days…and mostly the hard way.

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
