The husband and I do a fairly decent job of dividing up tasks related to the children. Well, all tasks if you get right down to it. So when he has to go out of town for any reason & for any length of time it throws the whole system out of whack. It’s not just me that feels [...]
If ever proof were need that I have completely lost my mind, then this is it. I have agreed to let Honey bunny have a SLEEPOVER birthday party! We’re talking about a bunch of 7-8 yr olds. running around my house screeching, jumping up and down, “singing” their favorite Hannah Montana songs, and whatever else [...]
Yes, it’s true. I’m sorry to have to say it but I had a temper tantrum last week. I just couldn’t take it any more. I reached my limit. I was physically, mentally, emotionally unable to control my temper. Why? I wish I knew. I’ve been asking myself that question constantly. I suppose I could chalk it [...]

The other day at our office I got a great big laugh when a friend of mine mentioned that her daughters were fighting over a toy. As a [...]
I know, I know, this is hardly news to mothers all over the globe. And I absolutely have it easier than some… especially this lady. Go ahead, read it. It’s long, but you’ll laugh your ass off!! I did; the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd time I read it. In fact, I’m going to read it again. [...]
