Yesterday as I was on my way to pick up Number 5 from preschool, a little birdie flew right in front of my car. I didn’t really think anything of it. No matter how close you come to a flying bird, they always manage to get away just in the nick of time. I did [...]
Last weekend I posted this on the facebook page. Tonight is a screw-the-teeth-brushing-get-your-ass-into-bed kind of night. And someone left this comment: ooookay. What brought that on? I wasn’t quite sure what to make of that… That ooookay, with 4 o’s, kind of left me with a feeling of disapproval. And the “what brought that on?” gave me [...]
If you give a mom a computer, she will sit down to write her blog post. Before she writes her post, she’ll see she has a facebook message. Checking facebook will remind her that she needs to post a picture on the facebook page for her new e-course, Fit, Fierce and Fabulous. Checking out things weight [...]
Yesterday we went to a 4th birthday party for one of Number 5′s friends. The friend has a 6-year-old sister. I think the mom is fairly young. And the 6-year-old is the oldest child, so the mom is still experiencing some firsts. Like the first loose tooth. The mom pulled the little girl over to [...]
About 10 days ago, on the facebook page, I posted this status update: I was late to Number 4′s Mother’s Day Tea. Because I couldn’t find anything to wear. Because nothing fits me.

We will initiate a search-and-rescue operation and exert a tremendous amount of energy looking for that thing. Sometimes upwards [...]
I owe a lot to the sport of swimming. A lot. It has taught me more about how to live a fulfilling and meaningful life than any class I ever took in school. It has taught me to set goals. To push myself. To keep going when I wanted to quit. It has given me [...]
If you follow my facebook page, then you know that my night last night was, well, not average. But those kind of nights seem to be more and more the norm. I know I have 7 kids to keep alive. Which is more than most people. But I think we are all in the same boat. [...]
Dear Mike D., Thanks for your comment on the facebook page in response to this post. In case you forgot what you wrote, here it is: Please… The human race has been smoking for a thousand years and I have never herd of a kid dropping dead. I personaly think she is a stupid bitch who has [...]
I’ve mentioned this before, but one of my first goals when I started this blog was to get a comment on it from someone I didn’t know. Not on the facebook page, but on the actual blog post itself. I don’t know how other bloggers feel, but for me, that was a measure of some [...]
