Stop Posting Already!!!

I know, I know, I am out of control. I think I “posted” about 30 things today. The real story is that I am just trying to rebuild from my blog-life crisis of last week. So for all of you who read me via Bloglines or Google reader (all 4 of you!), [...]

Origianl Date Unknown – Where I spent My Summer vacation

This is inspired by Amy’s great post the other day, which is really much better than what I have to say so go read hers and then come back.
Amy tells a great story about her adventure alone in Europe and her thoughts about the person she was then. I can’t stop thinking about that. The [...]

6/5/2007 – Perhaps George and I should have a playdate

Jun 5, 2007Perhaps George and I should have a playdateSometimes I get distracted by the house and all of its needs.
The other day I was putting laundry away as the boys flitted from room to room around me. They had just finished lunch and had a rare mid-day bath after a hazy, hot morning at [...]

Here I go again
I have been on vacation for a few days. Because nothing says Relaxing Mother’s Day like flying halfway across the country with two toddlers (on our LAPS for shits sake!) for a mini-reunion with the inlaws in a state that, at a roasting 90 degrees, is “Pretty cool for May.”
We [...]

3/27/2007 – Dear Brian Williams

Mar 27, 2007Dear Brian WilliamsI love you, I do. But your story last night on the effects of daycare on children was an insult.
The strain of not being able to afford to stay home with my children and having to put them in daycare was tremendous. It was easily the most difficult and painful decision [...]

2/20/2007 – Carving It Out

Feb 20, 2007Carving It OutI have a hard time taking time for myself. Especially since I became a mother. There is always something or someone else that needs my attention, my arms, my mop, my patience and they always, always get it.
Always putting me and my needs last is really taking its toll. I need [...]

12/5/2006 – When Martha Married Liberace

Dec 5, 2006When Martha married LiberaceWhen we were dating my husband and I discovered that we had millions of things in common.
And then Christmas came.
I was raised in a very strict White-Christmas-Lights-Fake Tree -No-Flashing family. He was raised on a more “Vegas-Baby-Multi-Colored-Flash-o-Rama” theme.The fact that our families Christmas décor tastes are in direct opposition to [...]

8/9/2006 – My Daily Show

Aug 9, 2006My Daily ShowSometime this morning, shortly after I gave Baby E a smoochy squeeze and ended up with baby shit all over my arms (don’t ask) I decided that I need to start dating again.
It’s not that I don’t love my husband. I do. Maybe not as beautifully and eloquently as say, Her [...]

8/3/2006 – Summer Lovin’, Had Me A Blast

Aug 3, 2006Summer Lovin, Had Me a BlastOne wonderful thing came from this heat wave. My boys have discovered swimming.
My parents have a pool and I have actually taken the boys in before. Those experiences were more of the “shivering toddlers turning blue while holding me in a death grip” ilk. Last night, they got [...]

7/20/2006 – ‘Cause ‘Ya Gotta Have Faith

I just totally hi-jacked the comments at Her Bad Mother after reading her post on deciding how and whether to take to an organized faith now that you are a parent. So I am cheating by now making it a post of my own.
I think alot of people struggle with this issue. You want to [...]
