the good mommy moments

February 21, 2017

the good mommy moments

Good mommy moments and bad mommy moments. As mothers, we have our share of both every single day, yet we seem to mention our bad mommy moments way more than we mention the good ones. Why is that? Why do we put more focus on the bad mommy moments? Is it because we are too hard on ourselves? Or […]

last night after the Super Bowl….

last night after the Super Bowl….

Last night after the Super Bowl, Rich and I took off in our car to go pick up our daughter Aislynn (12) from a friend’s house. It was almost 9:00pm, the streets were damp from rain, and hardly anyone was on the road. It was about a 15 minute ride to the friend’s house. We picked her up […]

HALFWAY TO OLD

July 14, 2014

HALFWAY TO OLD

When each of my kids turns nine years old, I always say the same thing. “Happy 9th Birthday! Hey, do you realize that half your childhood is over?” Then I get the same questioning look. “Huh? What do you mean?” And I explain, ”Well, you’re an adult once you reach the age of 18.  And you are nine […]

I miss the mouse

So have you heard that I got a new laptop?  My first laptop!  Oh yeah, it’s pretty nifty, that’s for sure.  I really do love it.  But I have some concerns: For one thing, I pretty much suck at navigating the arrow-thing around without a mouse!  Am I the only one who likes using a […]

backtracking

The one thing I don’t like about having a digital camera is that I tend not to upload my photos onto my computer as frequently as I should.   Instead they collect and collect on my SD card, going weeks and sometimes months back without me ever looking at them.  And over time I forget […]

is this an age thing or something I have to worry about?

February 8, 2012

is this an age thing or something I have to worry about?

Okay so it’s no secret that I’m 42 years old.  If I want to be factual, I am actually almost exactly 42 and a half years old this month on the 14th…. to be exact.  I hate being exact.  But there it is.  So now I’m wondering if everyone my age is losing their short-term […]

just a few words on Sunday

I remember back to when I was a kid and I looked forward to the weekends.  The weekends always meant one important thing for me: SLEEPING IN!  Is there anything better than the feeling you get when you first wake up and then remember that it’s Saturday or Sunday and you don’t have to get […]

Penny

Remember sweet little Penny? Yea, she’s a lot of work.  Look what she does during the 5 minutes that I wasn’t watching her.  Hmmmm.  With a family this size, we need all the rolls of toilet paper we can get.  So when she shreds a roll, it’s nothing to smile about. Oh, what’s that I […]

funerals

We were out of town to attend Grandma Bernadette’s funeral.  Her church service was beautiful, and the reception afterwards filled her home with many people.  There was hardly any room to move around — it was that crowded with her family and friends.   I kept looking around the room, and I couldn’t help thinking […]

regrets

I’ve been a bit sad lately.  Actually, everyone in my family has been.  It’s so hard to lose a beloved member of your family. But I believe it’s especially difficult when they pass away during the Holiday Season. Because this is supposed to be such a fun and joyous time. But for us, we have […]

family rules

Although my family is nothing like the Duggars, I will admit that I like some of their family “Rules” — thought I’d share them here.  If my family could follow even just a few of these, I’d be happy: Always use soft words, even when you don’t feel well. Always display kind actions and joyful […]

Mother of the Year 2011

“It will be tastefully done.”  says Dina Lohan, about her daughter Lindsay Lohan’s up coming photo shoot with Playboy magazine. Huh?  It will be tastefully done?  How is that even possible?   If I could talk to this mother, this is what I’d say: What’s wrong with you, woman?  You, as her so-called manager, are […]

hypocritical me

So last night Rich and I were on my computer looking online for ideas for redecorating the boys’ room when a thumbnail photo of my last blog post popped up on the screen far off to the side, and Rich glanced at it and just about had a cow.  “What is THAT!!!”  he said, pointing […]

with my finger?  really?

So I’m thinking I need to update my blog’s look a bit.  The photo in the header is a year and a half old, and check out Aria – she doesn’t even look like that anymore!  I mean, she was such a baby in that photo.  And to date, she is a BIG GIRL three […]

bye-bye potty seat

We have had this potty seat for about 14 years  Yesterday Tony  was detail cleaning the bathroom and found it under the sink, brought it out to me and asked “Mom….do you want to keep this thing?” Now, I’m an overly sentimental person.  Very nostalgic.  About everything.  Even potty seats.  My first instinct was to […]
