This Is Your Sign

January 15, 2018 by not your average mom 1 Comment

Since we had no school today I thought I was going to get a whole bunch of stuff done, but really all I did yesterday and today was drive kids to different play dates and swim practices. I got almost nothing done yesterday. Today was not looking much better, and at 9 a.m. I had […]

5:00 On A Friday Night

Yesterday I had a significant freakout about the arrival of summer. I was panicking. And I wasn’t at all physically or emotionally prepared for the transition. I was so exhausted that as soon as I got Number 6 and 7 into bed, I crashed on my own bed before 9 pm. My husband was working […]

For Those Of You Struggling With The Transition Into Summer

June 22, 2017 by not your average mom 2 Comments

This first day of summer has snuck up on me. I’m not prepared. I’m not organized. It’s kind of like when Christmas seems so far away, and you know you have plenty of time. And then all of a sudden, BAM. It’s Christmas Eve Day and you haven’t wrapped a single present. You haven’t even […]

Comfort Zones Are For Wimps

December 30, 2016 by not your average mom 1 Comment

I first joined the swim team when I was ten years old. I wasn’t good — at all — but I loved it. By the time I got to high school, I was fairly decent. I was All-State my sophomore, junior, and senior year. I swam at Lehigh all four years. I was one of […]

Mom Fail #4,783

November 22, 2016 by not your average mom 5 Comments

One of the things I’m struggling with these days is that now that all the kids are in school full time, I feel like I should totally have my shit together. And I don’t. I feel like I should be totally organized (I’m not), the house should be pretty clean (it isn’t), and I should […]
