tell me about the day she was born
Congratulate me! Seriously! I am now the grandmother Mi-ma of two perfectly amazing, gorgeous grand daughters. Born last week on 11-22-11 was our beautiful palindrome, Fallon Elizabeth. OMG! She is gorgeous and perfect…just like her big sister is. Oh, and OMG…her mother is so amazing!! Seriously, I couldn’t be prouder of my darling daughter #1…and [...]
a dummies guide to prodromal labor
“Has Holly had the baby yet?” In a word, “NO!” If Holly were to tell you herself it might be something like, “No, damn it! Does it LOOK like I had the baby yet?!” She would likely be stabbing you in the face with daggers shooting from her eyes as she says it too. [...]
yearning for the good ol’ days
Raising teenagers is not for the faint of heart. This I know is true. I’ve raised and are raising a few. I survived raising that first one and much to my relief she turned out to be a pretty damn amazing adult and I am very proud of her. The second child of mine in [...]
as bad as you judge me to be
Back in the day when I was a mother of one child…a long, long, long time ago in a land far, far away, I used to attend on a semi-regular basis a young mothers’ Bible study. I met up with these women with the hopes of enjoying adult interaction and to get to know better [...]
because I get mean when I am hungry
Saw this posted on a friend’s Facebook the other day along with her comment, “Amen!” Seriously? I’d like to meet this college student. Where does he attend college? Fairyland University? This is not reality. Reality is that people ARE working their asses off. People are BEGGING for the opportunity to work their asses off. People [...]
all because of a ding in the universe
I like to imagine that I am the only one on the planet who does NOThave Angry Birds loaded on her smartphone…or her iTouch or her iPad. But I do have a Sponge Bob Square Pants game app loaded on my iTouch. When all else fails, my son will easily be distracted by that goofy [...]
adoption drama
It would seem that in the land of television their is much adoption drama going on this season…on Glee, on Parenthood and on Modern Family and the social media and blogging world is a bit freaked out. Two seasons ago on Glee, Quinn Fabray so easily births a baby girl and walks away with the [...]
BEWARE of the red-headed sperm!
By now most have heard the news of the world’s largest sperm bank turning away donors who just so happen to be redheads. At first glance when I read this story I did gasp in disbelief. I mean, I’m a ginger…what’s not to love about me? Right? But it also initially disturbed me because of [...]
never lost, always exploring
Over the years my darling husband has primarily been the driver on road trips with our family circus. I can’t really offer a valid explanation except for that was how we did it. My job was to keep the circus happy, entertained, fed, medicated…whatever…just keep the kids relatively quiet. My job also was once to [...]
a letter of warning
The following is a letter that I am thinking that in the future all of my children must present to their healthcare providers if they find themselves in the hospital. Dear Healthcare Provider, Thank you in advance for the excellent health care that I believe that you shall be giving me while I am in [...]
