Those Three Little Words

Since it’s Friday, (was it me? Or did this week go really fast!) I thought I’d leave you with the three little words that bring a thrill to any woman. “I’ll take him” (or) “I’ll do it” (or) “I’ll make dinner” (or) “I’ll...

Out of My Comfort Zone

I am attempting to do the un-thinkable this Fall. I’m working part time, working for myself, PLUS taking three ECE classes. (One on-line and two in Davis.) I happen to have the same teacher for my two face-to-face classes and I adore her. She’s funny, interesting, kind, thought...

Make It All Better

I wonder… will there ever be a time in my son’s life when I DON’T want to rush in and make it all better? I can’t imagine it ever being so.   He’s 14 ½ now, just starting the 9th grade and I STILL want to rush in and save the day every time. Of course...

Color Is Your Friend

When my son was in the third grade, I had the opportunity to attend a life-changing workshop. The workshop was presented by the Davis Joint Unified School District and was all about organization skills and children on the Autism Spectrum. I know this sounds dull, but stay with me here.   ...

Hey Bandwagon! Wait Up!

Being a busy mom, I feel like the bandwagon of pop culture is often a few miles ahead of me. Case in point, I FINALLY got to watch A Beautiful Mind yesterday. Yes, I know it won an Oscar. Yes, I have been told by many people how good it is… I just never had the time to watch it. I’m...

I hate my dog

Ok… not really. I actually love both my dogs very much. However, our older dog Snack recently had to have a mass tumor removed from the back of her leg. My last month with her went like this.   - There’s a lump on the back of my dog’s leg. Hey honey! Let’s keep an...

Ready…. Set….

GO!!!!!!!!! Man-cub starts the 9th grade next Wednesday. In Davis that means this is his last year of Junior High School. Our HS goes 10-12th grade, but his grades still count as if he were in HS. Complicated, I know.   My classes start Monday. This will be my third year of chipping away...

A Farewell to Summer

It’s that time of year again. I can practically SMELL the pencils being sharpened and hear the moaning as I mention that this week is the last week of summer. Sadly, it’s the last week for us both (my classes start Monday, man-cub’s start Wednesday).   We always like to...

Even My Toes Are Tired

Ok, seriously now… my hat is off to you mommies who work full time. I just finished a 40hour week with Preschoolers and oh man… even my toes are tired. How do you women do it?! I told my boss today that there is no way I can handle 8hr days at the school. From now on, please call me...

You’re Not Alone

My entire adult life I’ve felt out of place. Mainly because when people ask, "what you do?" I take a deep breath and think hard. My jobs change frequently, as do the titles that accompany them. If I listed all the hats I’ve worn in my life, you’d be astounded, and then...

Call Me a Consumer

I have an issue I struggle with. Consumerism. On one hand I believe in reduce, re-use and recycle. I buy second hand, sales and take hand-me-downs from my aunt. I watch my budget closely and can pinch a penny well. Then something happens, I transmorph into a materialistic superficial elitist. I...

Man about the House

My husband’s last day at his old job was on Tuesday. He doesn’t start his new job till next Thursday. That means I’ve had my man around the house this week. Starting a new job myself, I wasn’t sure if this would be a good thing or extra work for me. Let’s face it, as...

Nature’s Gym

Just like a superhero, I got the call yesterday morning. Two teachers were sick at my Child Development Center and they needed me! Eight hours and six liters of water later, I’d finished my first day with about twenty pre-schoolers. Wow! At this rate, I’ll drop 100lbs in a week....

Transitions & Walruses

Whenever I think to myself, “WOW! This is really a transitional period in life right now”, something will come up to show me that it was really nothing. That was just life… THIS is a transition.   This Tuesday will be my husband’s last day at his current job. He...
