An ice cream a day keeps the doctor away.
I am sorry that I have not been posting. I took a picture the other day that pretty much sums up how I have been feeling.
Yes, I have been entirely gastropodish. Isn’t that an awesome word? Gastropod. If you say it to your 8 year old son he will think of something entirely different than [...]
Did I have a mom confession last week? I don’t remember. This week was such a blur. Trip to the mountains, sick kids, Latin, and hormonal imbalances. It all kind of runs together.
My confession this week is a no brainer, but it is something that I struggle with a lot and bears repeating.
I spend way [...]
I had to think awhile for this week’s mom confession. It isn’t that I was Mrs. Cleaver. Far from it. It just seems that I seem to be a repeat offender of several of my confessions.
I will say that I did think that I was pretty awesome this week. Not because I did anything spectacular, [...]
On Thursday, Freckle Face came home from school and immediately pulled off his shoes.
“Ugh. My feet hurt bad today,” he said.
He yanked his socks off and he had a HUGE blister on his big toe. Huge. It was larger than his toe nail on the end of his toe.
I immediately called his physical therapist because [...]
I like to check on my kids before I go to bed at night. It started when they were babies. I had to make sure they were breathing. Don’t all moms do that? They all look so beautiful when they are lying there sleeping. I don’t think they can look more peaceful.
Too bad that sometimes [...]
I really should do a confession about school, but because we are only 3 days into it I don’t want to get discouraged. I am just telling myself that I am so dog tired becuase I am not in a routine yet. Yeah. That is what it is.
So, I confess. I am on a diet.
Not just [...]
Ok. So, remember that big deal I made on this blog how I just wouldn’t join Facebook? How it would just be a time waster, and I really didn’t want all those crazy people from my past to find me?
Yeah, forget I said all that.
My mom confession for today is a doozy. I am really [...]
My oldest son left for his ELS Youth Convention on Thursday. This is his first one. Our synod does allow for those going into 8th grade to go to the convention, but I am one of those mean moms that make them wait until after they are confirmed to go. It was good enough when [...]
VBS is over. Thank heaven above.
It isn’t that I don’t like VBS. I do. Well, kinda, and that is my confession. I am happy that VBS is over and don’t have to think about it for another year!
This year was a little more difficult than normal. I walked around with the 3rd and 4th graders. All 29 of [...]
I strongly dislike coloring Easter eggs. I think that it falls under that category of “things mom have to do just because we must not because it is fun”. You know the category I am talking about. It also holds frosting Christmas cookies and carving pumpkins.
I always give the kids a dozen eggs a piece to color [...]
