Mommy Memos: Favorite Things
TownSquareMedia Image It's official.  Matthew is potty trained.  I have no more "babies" even though they will always be my babies.  There are some things I miss.  The smell of my babies' breath.  The way babies laugh.  As they grow, I am ama ... Read More ...

Mommy Memos: Tired
Honestly, I am so tired I feel like crying.  I don't really have much to say, but didn't want anyone to think I had died.  More house cleaning/painting going on.  I was in the basement working, and came upstairs to a disaster.  One step forward and two steps back...

I didn't know what to write about today in my Mommy Memos.  My husband Mike told me to write about how awesome he is.  I am actually in a bit of trouble.  Mike finally got around to reading my Mommy Memos and said, "if you're going to keep trashing me in those, I am not going to read them anymore...

Mommy Memos: Diet Pants!
Mommy Memos: Diet Pants!
I have never had a weight problem until I started having a few health problems.  Now, at age 41, I am finding it a bit difficult to shed these extra pounds.  Diet and exercise???  No thank you!  I want diet pants!  They work by being so tight and hot taht your body's temperature supposedly increases by 3...

Mommy Memos: The Shart
You all know what a "shart" is, right?  Well, my sister, who is married with no kids, called today and told me her horrifying story.  She was standing in line at the grocery store, items on the conveyer belt, when a woman who was in line said excuse me and walked off...

Mommy Memos: Valentine’s Day
Mommy Memos: Valentine’s Day
I have never been a huge Valentine's Day fan.  I used to think it can be a set up for disappointment.  Either you're alone and depressed about it, or you're with someone and the expectations of gift giving and romance are way too high...

Mommy Memos: Babysitting
I get to babysit an 8 month old baby today.  A friend has a Dr. appt, and asked if I could watch her for an hour or two.  I forgot what an 8 month old does.  I'm sure it will come back to me when I see her.  I'm not afraid of that.  What I AM afraid of is that it is going to give me baby fever again...

Mommy Memos: Multi-talented
I am not sure if you know this or not...but I am extremely talented.  I am apparently the only person in my house who knows how to change a toilet paper roll or a roll of paper towels.  I walked into the bathroom today, and there were three rolls of toilet paper on the floor, in various states of unrolled-ness...

Mommy Memos: The Carnival
So, we made it through another school carnival.  I have a few highlights for you.  Number one:  walking into the cake walk where Matthew saw a Spiderman cake.  Fast forward to about 20 walks later, little boy crying, Mom about to cry, and the NICEST person in the world, who pretended to let Matthew win, and gave him the cake...

Mommy Memos: Life Check
There's so much you can do with a hoola hoop that's fun. Direct quote from Gracie. I need those kinds of insights and reminders every once in a while.  It was one of "those days" today.  Nothing too big, some poopy pants, some poopy attitudes, and some laundry.  I am sitting with my kiddos, listening to music, as I write this; glass of wine in hand.

Mommy Memos: Men
Men...they are all the same.  Matthew, my sweet little three year old was sitting with me when I was browsing my gossip websites.  He saw this picture. I believe his exact words were, "I want one of those."  I asked him if he thought she was pretty...
