It’s my favorite thing about Sunday, linking up with Fadra for SOC. I tweeted and Facebooked over the weekend about how both girls now have boyfriends. They are 10 and 12 (almost 13). Guess it’s time to start a whole new ball of worry. Because, you know, I need one more thing to worry about. Friday night, Miss M had a dance to go to. There were major, MAJOR tears before the dance. I’m talking full on meltdown. About clothes.…
Hey. Yeah, I know, I know. I haven’t posted anything since Sunday. I can pretty much count the one person who is upset about this (Hey Tiff!). This week has been kind of crazy for us. For some standards, a normal week. But for us, crazy. I finished one class (another A, go me!), started another, worked, two choir concerts, homework, lessons, etc. And Miss M had a time consuming math project that was due this week in the midst…
See what’s become of me. As I look around……. Wait. This isn’t a post about an awesome Bangle’s song. Or actually Simon & Garfunkel. Sorry Paul, I like Susanna’s voice better. Aaaaanyhoo. It’s about time. And how I don’t have enough of it. Or I suck at managing it. Pretty sure it’s a combination of both. But I can’t figure out how to make everything work. Work. School. Kids. Blogging. Exercising. I can’t give up work. Or school. Or the…
I should have known something was wrong. Chapter Two was written way back in May. Hormone Girl has been lying low. I should have known. Known that when she did make an appearance it would not be pretty. Hormone Girl is back. In full force. And ya’ll? It. Is. Ugly. This entire week has been filled with tears. In fact, Miss V and I had to seek refuge in my room one night earlier this week and give her the…
I have a problem with posters. This is a sure sign that I am getting old. And very controlling. Because I hate them. Like, a lot. I never understood when I was growing up why The Mama didn’t want me hanging posters in my room. It’s because they look terrible. And all those teeny bopper faces are staring at you when you have to go in kid’s rooms to do something or another. And in my kid’s rooms? They. Are.…
I have known for a while that we really need to get rid of some things. Clothes, toys, papers, you name it, we have an abundance of it. Yesterday, I was putting away my new bras I got (ON SALE) last week and I really did not have any space in my dresser for them. Ridiculous. And I started looking in there. And I saw old panties. And old bras. And tags. And swimsuits that didn’t fit. And on, and…
I get overwhelmed easily. And when I say easily, I mean if I have more than about three things going on at once, I’m likely to just shut down and do none of them. It’s why we have the policy of, “one activity at a time.” Not because the kids can’t handle multiple activities, but because The Mama can’t. Because I get all freaked out and shit. And let me tell you, a freaked out Leah does not benefit anyone.…
It’s true. I’ve crossed over into full fledged dorkdom. And I dragged my BFF She with me. Since the beginning of the summer, I’ve been telling my mom that my neck hurts. And that it feels like I’m not sleeping right on it. Then one day we were in CVS and saw this. And I showed it to my mom and said, THIS! I need this. This is how I feel like I’m sleeping. Wonder if that would work? And…
Whew! What a freaking week. I woke up this morning, feeling somewhat recovered from the fist week of school. Let’s hope I survive the second. If you missed it tucked into my post about organization, I too headed back to school this week. And when I say headed back, I mean opened up my computer and started a class. But it’s back to college! And it’s been a loooooong time! And I’m scared! But excited! So much to say about…
I’ve decided to take a cue from some awesome ladies Mary Ruth and She and have some regular features on my blog. In my quest for organization, I’ve found it wold be pretty helpful to have a few prompts every week. On Tuesdays, I will post my Pretty, Funny, Yummy and Wise, which are my favorite Pinterest pins of the week. And on Fridays, it’ll be What The Friday? Cause let’s face it, we have more than our share of…
