Teeter Totter
Finding a Balance Between
"Me-Hood" and "Motherhood"

In this blog I'll be covering as wide a variety of subjects as the duties of a real mom in today's culture.


From raising special needs children, family vacations, marriage, relationships, sex, cooking, local to-do, school (both for you and the children), working, hiring a daycare provider, arts and crafts, decorating, holidays, to well... EVERYTHING!

No holding back.

Boulders and Vino

About this time every year (when I take Fall classes) I start to feel like a stunt double. Not just any stunt double, the one from Indiana Jones who was chased by the giant boulder. In short, I have too much going on and my to-do list is the giant boulder. Each week I successfully dodge it (and grab my hat), only to be placed back at the start like some sick reloading video game to be chased all over again.

This weekend I was able to take a short time-out from this insane pace I'm struggling with to raise a glass of vino with my husband in celebration of our 14th wedding anniversary. We donned our snazziest clothes and hit the town. It was a lovely day full of window shopping and pretending we were rich (while buying very little.) Topped off as any good celebration should be by a giant plate of sizzling meat. Mmmmmm, meat.

The week is half gone however and I find myself running once again from that dang to-do list. Counting the days till my boulder becomes a pebble.

And like Indiana Jones, you always have a witty rejoiner right after your latest stunt. :)

I'm glad you had a nice weekend with your hubby. That's so cool.

Hahaha, oh my. You are indeed too kind. No wonder I adore you so!
Oh yeah, the weekend was great. He's the best man I could have ever dreamed of having. I'm the luckiest (and not just for having friends like you.) Did I mention I had wine tonight? Rough class. I lvoe yuo all! Just kidding.

Reading your post made me really, really happy that Paul and I are heading out this weekend for our anniversary. I can't wait to sleep in and just hang out with him. Oh, and go indoor skydiving. Whoo hoo!

what no pictures of the sexy boots?????  that's so nice that you took time out from  your rolling boulder to spend time with well, i'm guessing your rock.

Awww, how cute! I didn't even think of that (him being my rock.) You're so clever. GREAT analogy.
Ok, boot pics coming up!!!
