We have only reached kindergarten with my daughter, and I can already tell that I really have it in for me parenting this little peach. She's got the temperament of a saint most days, is the family peacemaker, and genuinely a happy-go-lucky kind of gal. I thoroughly enjoy her company ...

It might sound odd to admit, especially considering I've been a SAHM/work-out-of-the-homer for a decade now. But, I have had just about a decade of full-on identity confusion. And, I think I am starting to figure out why.
"I really just don't know what I'm going to do when little Timmy ...

I almost blew it on this my only second day of posting my "Own Private NaBloMoPo." Whoa, I can tell this isn't going to be easy. (And, I have to come up with a different name for that, eh?)
So, I've got to make this quick, but meaningful. Some deep things ...

I had finished setting up for my daughter's preschool Valentine's party when I located her teacher lining up kids after music class. I paused, as I could tell she was busy handling a 4-year-old dispute and decided to wait to let her know I was done.
Observation revealed that a little boy ...

I regret dropping off from posting, visiting and commenting on blogs lately. Facebook has eaten all free time, but I'm missing writing now. And I have to get something off my chest too...
Have you ever had an experience where you just had enough?

Sometimes in parenting, you have to get creative. And sometimes, humor is the only thing that keeps you from going completely nuts. This was left for my son to come home to after basketball practice tonight.

Suburban little league football team, The Chiefs, have officially fallen into the black hole that is known as The Twilight Zone. (Not to be confused with the hit teen book series and new box office smash, Twilight.)

(a posting from a prior blog life)
Every day, when you have come home, I have hit you with questions. I have tried the direct questioning, the subtle approach, and even the guilt trip method--all looking for clues of how your day went in your new little world. It is a world ...

(a posting from a prior blog life)
A friend of mine sent me a link to NPR's website where they are having a celebration of beliefs by publishing interesting essays on the topic of "This I Believe." As I sat awake late last night, pondering over my son starting school the next ...

This is SOOOO not another "mommy blog." Ok, well maybe it is. But, what else would you expect from a career writer, who has lived the life of a SAHM and now is juggling her way back into part-time work again while raising two wild kids with her wise-cracking husband and a large stinky labrador retriever? In short, I'm a walking cliche--a suburban mommy blogger just trying to keep my crazy yet wonderful life in balance and learning to look at the world through funny glasses with my tongue sticking out.
