Mojito Madness

Over the summer, I was contacted by a “NYC Journalist” or rather, a writer for Parents magazine who lives in Boston and saw my post about Wine: Mom’s Drink of Choice and thought she could get some good info from me for her own story. Funny how that works. I gave her my take on how more moms seem to relax with a glass of wine or a cocktail in front of their children these days. I mentioned...

Wrong Side of the Bed

Have you ever had one of those mornings where you just wish you could have a do-over? I don’t really get the expression “I woke up on the wrong side of the bed”, but if I am ever going to say it, today would be the day.  I woke up super grouchy. Partly because I went to bed too late last night, partly because PMS is rearing it’s ugly head and partly because I’m just so fucking...

Another Monday Me Time

Today was the first day of Pre-K for my 4 year old. We said goodbye at 9 am and were back together again at 3 pm. Six hours went by where I just had to take care of the baby (who turned one yesterday, btw!) who happens to be on a fairly predictable schedule these days. He takes two naps, each one about an hour in length. Still, my time alone is spent doing things that need to be taken care of for my family such...

Piss Alley

After the initial shock to the body of NO SLEEP for almost 29 hours, we are adjusting fine and I say fine with a slight exaggeration. I have traveled a bit in my 36 years and I have never experience jet lag quite like this. We are moving forward though, and trying to continue our days without thinking about the day of sleep we’ve lost. When we arrived we decided we would not go to bed at 6pm in order to get...

Where Did I Come From?

In case you need a refresher course on where babies come from, I thought I’d offer you the wise words of my 4 year old. He knows it all. “First I become a seed in your belly. Then I grow to a baby. And then I become a little boy. And then I become a big boy. And then I become a real real real daddy.” The best part is that apparently he learned it all from me because he says so.  Wow, I’m...

Nair Shower Power: does it work?

Has anyone seen that commercial for Nair Shower Power? You know, that cream you slather on your legs so it can  effortlessly wash away your nasty leg hair while you clean the rest of your body? I’m normally not such a sucker for the power of media, but let’s face it, who the hell has time to shave? I barely get a chance to shower these days.  So yeah, if that saves me time and saves me from wearing...

Monday Me Time J-style

Where the heck did the week go? I can’t believe we have arrived at the end of yet another week. Does anybody feel that as we get older, time flies by faster? I wasn’t as lucky to have as much ‘Me time’ this weekend as I had last weekend. I brought the kids to Indiana on Wednesday to be with my family. Mostly, I have just been doing family things. Last night though, I was able to sneak away and go out...

Passing it on

Today we have decided to drag out my old dollhouse. Ever since Jade was born, my husband  and I have been trying to figure out how we will get it from Indiana to Florida for her to play with. It occupied so much of my time as a child, I just know she will love it too. I remember exactly when I got it. It was the Christmas that I found out Santa didn’t really exist. My brother and I always woke up at...

Friday Famojo

So it’s Friday and half the world is chanting “TGIF”.  Friday is just like any other day to me. Tomorrow I will still wake up at 6 o’clock in the fucking morning and lay around in my pajamas for about 4 or 5 hours until my household gets it together and we decide to do something. And by doing something, I mean like going to Costco to spend more money than necessary buying frivolous items...

Monday Me Time J-style

Wow Court, I must say you are looking HOT for your “Me Time” photo. Dare I say my ‘Me Time’? I was able to start and finish a really good book. No, it wasn’t a Dr. Seuss book. It was Sarah’s Key, by Tatiana de Rosnay. It was a spectacular read and worth every lost moment with the kids. Did I just say that?? I know that starting tomorrow there will not be much ‘Me Time’ for the next week. I am...
