It's late and I should be in bed but I'm up stress eating fig newtons instead. This does not bode well for my weigh-in tomorrow morning. Whatever. I've logged over 8 miles of wogging and 10 miles of biking the past three days so I don't feel too bad about it. Current worry: Kiddo got... Continue Reading →
breathe momma breathe
Being a parent is THE most stressful thing. And I have it easy. One kid. No major health issues. Normal behavior. Easy peasy. Yet still THE most stressful thing. I must be a complete wuss or something. Kiddo had a tummy bug a couple of weekends ago. She recovered in a couple of days but... Continue Reading →
I say “Ninja Turtle” three times in this post
I got the office cleaned out and goodbyes said on Thursday. I'm more excited than nervous about Monday. I mean, what can I possibly mess up on the first day? The first week even? I'm probably tempting the new gig gods by saying that. I still need to figure out what I'm going to wear...and... Continue Reading →

It's been a crazy, but good week for various reasons. I've made some headway on my personal to-do list, hung out with friends, made some plans, and did some thangs. Next week's list includes drastically ramping up the job search and figuring out/solidifying some vacation plans we have brewing. The weekend is looking promising. Kiddo... Continue Reading →
bribery by clothespin and blogging milestones
Good Morning board: I'm trying something new with kiddo in an attempt to make our mornings go more smoothly. Mornings with her are hit or miss. Sometimes she's raring to go and cooperative without too much nagging. But on other days she's a royal pain, to be blunt. Oh sure, I can make her get... Continue Reading →
stuff ‘n thangs
I'm over the holidays and Christmas "vacation". I'm ready to go back to work. And now there is the threat of Snowmaggedon on Sunday night so there's more than a snowball's chance in hell that Monday will be a snow day and I will go crazy. I'm overly dramatic, I realize. Its been awesome to... Continue Reading →
True story
This made me snort. Especially #s 1, 11, and 22. Heh. http://www.chicagonow.com/baby-sideburns/2013/10/you-know-you-are-a-mom-if/
in which i am a major downer
I wonder if those who've passed on can watch us, the ones left here. Are they shocked at the difference in someone they knew in life because they can now see how they really are in death? Can my grandma see me? And not just see me, but know what I'm feeling and thinking? Can... Continue Reading →
next stop, juvie hall
Kiddo was/is having some adjustment issues at school. To put it bluntly, she's punching kids. Yes, punching. She's gotten in trouble two days in a row for channeling Rocky Balboa. Fabulous. For the record and in my kid's defense, she has attended day care from 8 weeks to 5 years old, and we've never had... Continue Reading →
