Take a break. Three words, and really, it sounds so easy. Stressed out from work, take a break. Exhausted from being up all night with the baby, take a break. Totally over running kids to 564 practices…take a break! But moms know that it’s simply not that easy. Heck, we… Read More »

I’m sitting here typing this as my 10-year-old daughter is in an operating room. It’s her 6th surgery (give or take) so you’d think I’d be a pro by now. And to a certain extent, I am. The paperwork and pre and post-operation instructions are no biggie. I know exactly… Read More »

I don’t have my sh$% together….and I’m the first person to admit it. These last few months I’ve been feeling more and more off balance. Some of it is the curse of too much to do and too little time. But, lets get real, that’s always been an issue, and… Read More »

Yesterday was a lazy day around here. Not because we had nothing to do but, because I really didn’t feel like doing a thing. Perhaps I was still tired from the race I ran Saturday… Which by the way was super hard and kicked my a$$. I didn’t meet my… Read More »

This is a bit embarrassing to admit but, I lose my kids at least once a week…maybe even once a day… It’s something I feel more than a bit of shame about, and I’ve only admitted this to a few close friends that I know will A. Not call DFS on… Read More »
