That Healthy Orange Glow

May 2, 2012

About this time of year, I begin to long for it.
I get so sick and tired of taking my clothes off and being blinded by white.
I just want a little tanish glow.
Not much, I don’t want to look like old leather but like I was traipsing around in the tropics with my lover.
For years, I [...]

Dealing with a “Bully”

April 30, 2012

He gets off the bus looking defeated. And some days the tears stream down his face before he is off the first step.
My heart breaks.
“Mom why are they so mean to me?” Hayden cries his face buried in my neck. “I don’t eat trash off the floor, I don’t!”
His little body just sobs in my arms [...]

Naming Things

April 27, 2012

My children like to name things.
It doesn’t matter what kind of thing, all that matters is that it have a name.
Like a bike become Bikie, socks become Sockie, a stuffed animal giraffe become Baby Giraffery and a fork used for dinner is Forkie.
Once they have named an object, they get super attached to it and [...]

What a Cute TV!

April 24, 2012

What Jeff will begin talking to me about how we probably need to go out and get a new TV.
He usually says this in passing but all I hear is… ‘we need to go shopping and buy something’. My response to this is that [...]

Sisters, friends, cousins, bloggy buddies… it’s all baby making all the time.

Senioritis

April 22, 2012

“Mommy, why do’s my friends have their stuffed animals?” Jake asked one morning as we walked into preschool.
The questions struck fear in my heart for I too had noticed all the preschool friends carrying stuffed animals and their mom’s carrying boxes.
What was going on?
Suddenly, I had the feeling that I was missing something.
This time in [...]

Dressing Room Drama

April 19, 2012

I have this need to go shopping.
Let’s just say that when I’m having a bad day, there is nothing like a little retail therapy to make me feel better.
I hadn’t planned on a trip to the mall but I was kid-free and the stores were calling to me. I tried to resist but their siren [...]

I Promise…

April 18, 2012

I promise to love you with all my heart but not to always like you every second of the day.
I promise to laugh with you but also sometimes at you.
I promise to hold your hand but also to let it go.
I promise to look at every piece of art work you make like I am [...]

How a Blog Post is Born

April 17, 2012

I get asked a lot of questions in my life.
Most of them are from my children and are along the lines of, ‘can I have some candy?’, ‘what do bears eat?’ or ‘why do boys pee from their penis?’
I also get questions from adults.
A lot of those questions are about me having triplets but another [...]
