The other day I was having some tech issues. I don’t know why, but stuff that like that always makes me beyond pissed. I was spending well over three hours (and actually it turned into two days) working on a project that I had planned on taking an hour or… Read More »

Any time that I go out and about town with all the Cowkids, people tend to stop and stare. After all, a mom with five kids in tow is definitely something to see. In today’s society, it’s not uncommon for someone to comment on what they see. Aside from comments… Read More »

Trigger Warning: Loss of an Infant I’m not really a cryer. I guess I should rephrase that. I cry all the time at sad movies (Big Hero 6 was ridiculous) and sentimental songs on the radio, but when I’m really scared or hurt I tend to keep it all in.… Read More »

It’s NOT selfish to take care of yourself. This is one of the hardest lessons of Motherhood. At least for me. It’s one I keep relearning over and over and OVER again. And even when I’ve done a great job practicing self-care, I still experience that ever so present guilt.… Read More »

Forgive me if I get a little emotional today…it’s not normally my vibe… My babies are growing up. Yes I know this is inevitable, and yes this is not the first time I’ve realized this. It’s not even the first time that I’ve shed tears over this simple fact of… Read More »

The Cowkids have been at each others’ throats the last few days, going out of their way to be annoying, hurtful, and mean. Some of the craziness is because The Cowboy has been gone for 2 weeks, and I know that this ridiculous Spring weather is NOT helping. Every teacher and mother… Read More »

Reading this title it sounds a bit threatening…and I guess this is one of the sterner Mama Mantras around here. We don’t pay the Cowkids an allowance.
