Would you like to know the hardest thing about parenting? Summed up in one word? I know it seems impossible, but I think I've done it. That word is: MAGNANIMOUS. It's an adjective defined by dictionary.com as "generous in forgiving an insult or injury; free from petty resentfulness or vindictiveness." Oh, you fell off the… Continue reading Magnanimous
Tales from behind the door
Okay, so we’re still here. We’re still doing the quarantine thing. I did see my neighbor today and talked to her for a bit while we were all outside. I don’t really like to just have a “bitching” blog. Not bitchin’, like super fly cool, but actual bitching that just leaves me no better than… Continue reading Tales from behind the door
525,600 minutes
**In case you don't get the reference, 525,600 minutes are in a full year. Taken from "Seasons of Love," from the Broadway show "Rent."** We're here everyone. Well, almost here. Technically it's tomorrow, but I don't know what I will be doing tomorrow so I'm writing now. I've gone through a million ideas. What to… Continue reading 525,600 minutes
Adaptation
Here we are guys, on... Saturday? My phone tells me it's Saturday so it must be true. Thank goodness this isn't a "true" apocalypse and we seem to have the internet. Communication at it's finest... it makes me think maybe I should get a landline phone... So what is quarantine for the girls and I?… Continue reading Adaptation
Slack
Guys, I hope what I'm about to talk about is a new thing, and you don't hear it from me very often. Let me tell you a story. I know I have moments of strength and moments of "how the hell am I going to do this," but this pandemic is once again changing everything… Continue reading Slack
10 days
I’m late to the quarantine game, but the girls and I have been in this house for 10 days. So far there has only been 1 “incident” that involved a shouting/crying match between Char and I that lasted 2 hours over Paige’s nap time. I won, but barely. It was not my best parenting ever.… Continue reading 10 days
I remember
*Disclaimer: this will be a choppy peace of work, there is a lot I’m trying to unload and it’s wicked late. I’m also in quarantine with my kids so I should not be up this late. So read with that in mind. Beware my bared soul in April. ** 2nd disclaimer: I’m not proofreading this… Continue reading I remember
April Showers
April was never going to be easy. Char is turning 5 next week, and last year the last thing Bob was able to do with his whole tiny family was Char's kid birthday party when she turned 4. We were in the hospital the next day for the family party that was still held at… Continue reading April Showers
The girl with a gazillion questions
I once saw a quote or a meme that said "the average 4 year old asks 4,000 questions per day." Only 4,000? You can't mean all day. You mean by lunch? Does the phrase "mom?" count in that? I have brilliant kids. Listening to Paige is amazing. Although she is at an age where she… Continue reading The girl with a gazillion questions
Fever tales
First, no I don't have a fever. The girls don't have a fever (today). But let me tell you a story. Kids run high temperatures sometimes, it's just a thing that happens. Parents run high temperatures sometimes, because they have kids. Not everyone is 98 degrees all the time. The girls get their temp screened… Continue reading Fever tales
