Around 2 or 3 weeks ago we were all hanging out in the livingroom & Peter told me that he “had something he needed to talk with me about.” Yikes, right? Of course my mind started racing…crap, what did I do wrong? Uh-oh, maybe he checked the bank account today…I knew I shouldn’t have bought […]

Doing it Cavegirl Style
What a week, whew! Do you ever feel like you say that at the end of every week? Yeah, me too. Did you also end this past week with a camera up your rump? Really?! ME TOO! What a coincidence. So yeah, I did the colonoscopy/endoscopy again. After I told you about how frustrated I […]
The Comeback Fox
Spouses are funny things aren’t they? They hold so much power but because they’re the ones we see day in & out, the ones who see us with no makeup on, or even worse, first thing in the morning when we’ve neglected to wash our makeup off & have lady of the night raccoon eyes, […]
Who is it! Is it you??
Dear Suspected Evil Crafter, In the last 48 hours I’ve finally figured out what’s causing all of these problems with my health! There’s really no other way of explaining the last week other than this & I just want to know, why didn’t I think of it sooner?! There is a crafter out there, I […]
Rhupus
I’ve tried to sit down & right this post three times this week. The first time was when I was wide awake at 4a, something that’s been happening a lot lately, but after writing a few blabbery paragraphs I reminded myself of pretty good rule. There are two things you should never do in the […]
Pink Blood
I really need to start thinking twice about what I let my kids watch. Because of P’s job pop music is a huge part of our everyday life. My girls know Katy, Britney, Nicki & Gaga & for the most part it hasn’t been a problem. (except that one time when Sam started singing Peacock […]
Mommy Metamorphosis
Peek-a-boo! Wondering where the heck I dropped off to this past week? Perhaps it was a secret caribbean vacation that P swept me off to, or maybe I won the lottery & was busy shopping beachfront properties while also building orphanages. Or maybe, just maybe, I was sucked into the sick kid’s blackhole where you […]
Judge Not Lest Ye Will Find out You’re Actually Judging Yourself
Sound confusing? Well, truth be told, it kind of is. Often these ‘ah-ha’ moments I have are required to travel through a bunch of murk & fog in the puzzle of my mind before they actually make sense. Then however I get to that magical point where I go, “Oh, ok, wow, I totally get […]
How to Travel with Kids without Losing Your Mind
Whew, we’re finally back & ready to rock! I love when I come back from vacation with a renewed drive to hit the ground running! Verses when I come back with cranky kids, to a messy house & jump right back in to a schedule so busy that the suitcase sits on the floor unpacked […]
growing in grace
We all need grace. We all fall short, despite our best intentions & if we’re lucky, although undeserved, the person we’ve wronged will choose to show us grace. I’ve learned over the years that this is not my natural inclination. Often when I’m wronged, especially if it’s been by a man, I’ve felt an overwhelming […]
