Mom Stuff

Guess What I Did?
Went and got myself involved in WAY too much…
But I have been working on a bunch of stuff for the blog and a new little project which, maybe I'll tell you about this week… and helping some friends.. (…)

Happy Father's Day to All the Single Moms…
Today we celebrate Father’s Day… and by we, I mean all single mothers. The reason? Most of us have taken on additional roles, some of them ones that we aren’t necessarily cut out to do. (…)

Bible Lessons in the Beer Aisle
It's not a huge secret that every once in awhile, I like to partake in an adult beverage. I just do. I'm not going to lie about it. Margaritas are my favorite, followed by Mudslides, and then, of course, I like sissy beer… (Barcardi Silver). (…)

The Throws of Summer Vacation…
I wish I could sit here and talk about how much we are enjoying summer break. Well, I guess I could say that. But it would be a lie. And I'm all about keepin' it real. (…)

Timeline of our day…
6:30am: Wake up for the last time at some unGodly hour to get to school… at least for the summer
6:35am: Call to Samara to wake up. Alert her that she has 25 minutes before the bus comes. (…)
This is who I am… online and off
I'm supposed to be cleaning today. Remember?
Um, yeah…
Let's just be honest for a minute. It's not going to happen. Not today at least. I got the kitchen done yesterday. (…)

What's Wrong With This Picture?
I'm off today and tomorrow. Like, I took two days of vacation. Which is fine. I don't mind taking vacation. I don't have to do it often because I work from home, so unless I'm actually GOING somewhere, I don't take it. (…)
To My Dearest Matthew…
Today, you graduate from elementary school. I have mixed emotions about this and it's been no secret to you or the internet as I've prepared for this over the past year. (…)

The End of a Season
Tonight, we played our last softball game of the regular season. It's done. Finished.
And I?
Survived.
I have mixed emotions about it. (…)

On being spoiled and hot… and a winner… :D
I have a new appreciation for any one who has to do manual labor all day in the heat. Seriously. I feel like I am spoiled. (…)

I now know where that came from…
My earlier post, at the time it was written, was so random. (…)
I have no idea where this came from…
As I was cleaning up from the yard sale tornado that swept through my home last Thursday, I came across an email between and ex and I. (…)

The Kid in Me….
Being a youth leader affords me the opportunity of being a kid… alot. I get to let my hair down, act stupid, and get away with it. The beauty of it is those aged 12-18 think that I'm cool whereas doing stuff like that at the office? Not so much. (And I do it at the office, but I don't get the same response…)
There is very little proof, documented anyway, of me acting like a kid. The main reason is that I'm always the one taking the pictures. Actually, I take that back. If you visit the MySpace pages of the majority of my youth members, there might be some pictures that I chose not to share with the rest of the world… or at least my true "grown up friends"…
However, this morning, I read about a contest at 5 Minutes For Mom and they want to see a picture that captures the kid in you. (…)

And so begins my break…
Y'all… I gotta tell ya. Things are CRAZY right now. C-R-A-Z-Y. Most of the time, this little blog-o-mine keeps me sane. As does Twitter. And MySpace. But in reflecting upon some things tonight as we got our hineys kicked from here to kingdom come, I realized that the Mommy Community, as much as I love it, and love you all, is distracting me WAY too much. (…)

I don't mind telling you…
I'm Pooped. With a capital P even.
The motivation is still here, but so is all the work, and the projects that went with. I tell ya, that God of mine… He's so funny. (…)
Let me tell you about my awards…
The science fair is done. (…)

If the TV gig doesn't work out…perhaps I'll be a plumber…
Apparently, telling the enemy that he could not have my faith did something to me. Perhaps I should've done that a while ago, but I awoke this morning with a new attitude and it was a good day. (…)

Albert Einstein I am Not…
I know that I owe you some more answers to some questions, and I apologize, but I'm up to my eyeballs in science fair projects right now.
And oh what a debacle that has been. (…)

Why multi-tasking is hazardous to your daughter's grades…
I'm sitting here trying to find a recipe for dinner, help my daughter with her math homework, make my line up and fielding rotation, in addition to, you know? My job? (…)

The Love of the game…
I am a HUGE fan of sports, but I much prefer playing over watching. The reason is simple, really, and it had everything to do with my inability to sit still. (…)
