I’m sure that this post is going to strike up some differing opinions and maybe a little heat, but it needs to be discussed. I lie to my kids. I have lied to people I love, when the situation absolutely called for it. Yet, I teach my children that lying is wrong. I am aware that […]
We heard about Jamie Lynn Spears and gasped in shock, as we bid adieu to “Zoey 101.” We saw the headlines for the new NBC reality show “Baby Borrowers” and wondered who the heck would allow a snot nosed teenager to borrow their baby. We caught wind of some odd teen pregnancy pact and rolled our eyes […]
I struggled with whether to post this glimpse of Scott Terrill’s life. I would hate for his family to think that I’m sensationalizing this whole ordeal and the pain that this family is going through, as a result. However, my heart feels the need to shed light on this subject as an example of what the […]
I remember, all too vividly, the day that my parents told us about my dad’s affair. I knew that something wasn’t right, because the night before, the sounds of my mother’s sobbing could be heard through the walls. It kept me awake all night, pondering the meaning behind those agonized, yet muffled sounds of a woman’s heart […]
As I stated in my previous post, yesterday was going to be the day - the day I would turn this whole stressful mess around - make a strong effort to not letting the horrible messes that surround me, get to me so much - I can’t stand dirt, clutter and chaos.
Everyone was up […]
It’s no big secret that I’ve been a little - ok a lot on the cranky side lately. I know we all have excuses from time-to-time and most times those excuses fall on deaf ears. But still, there’s something freeing about sharing those excuses, no matter how serious or lame they may be.
June 4th […]
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, “Divorce Sucks.” I was in high school when my parents divorced and it rocked my whole world, in a very emotionally damaging way. I remember, all too vividly, the heart wrenching pain that caused me to cry myself to sleep at night. The memories are so […]
I took the advice of a reader, cannot remember who it was now, that suggested having kids who curse, clean a toilet. Guess what? It works! The child who was having the biggest problem of curbing his cursing, has quickly learned how much fun scrubbing a toilet is not. I think that he figured I would […]
My son has been different from my other children, all his life. Even as a baby, I would notice that he was difficult to calm, impulsive, hyperactive and very angry. I discussed these matters with the pediatrician, very early in his toddler years. He assured me that it was probably just normal boy characteristics. Being […]
The older we get, the harder it is to make new friends. I have made some friends in my new neighborhood and most of them are on the same page as I am. We have the same ideals, values and goals for our kids. I trust them and they trust me. Our kids play together, […]
