The Letter

I live in fear that someone will spill the beans to my boys and tell them I have a brain tumor, say that cancer or that I am sick. Paul and I decided not to not tell the boys anything when I had my surgery. Other than to say mommy was going on a trip … Continue reading →

Adventures of a Pot of Chili

Last Sunday I entered my pot of chili in the preschool’s 1st annual Chili Cook Off. I placed third and thoroughly enjoyed my prize from the bake sale table… a sumptuous red velvet cupcake from Divine Cupcakes. YUM!

Picking Your Battles

I had to remind myself this morning that some battles are not worth fighting. Cooper, bounding into my office in his underwear, announced to me and the dogs that he was ready to get dressed.

Copy this, cut that, paste these, laminate those, assemble that and Velcro this.  This year I have taken on being a room mom and while I realize we are only one month into school, it has been fun. 3 hours after I started and while I never … Continue reading →

Being the completely responsible parent, sort of, I attempted last week to sign the boys up for CCD.
