Do you ever find yourself wishing that the road to parenthood came with a map? Or better yet, a guide book? That when you were given that little bundle of joy, you were also handed a book just for them? “Welcome to the world, here is everything you need to know to be the best parent to this...

1. I need to buy better shoes.
My new position of Advocacy coordinator (the person in charge of the homeroom curriculum) at my school requires me to run around the school quite a bit more than I am used to. I have a couple pairs of Clarks and Aerosoles from when before I was pregnant, but I need...

Tomorrow my little “man-cub” turns 15. I never knew fifteen years could go so fast. In honor of him, this is a little “tribute to motherhood” blog.
Motherhood came knocking at my door at a tender age and when I wasn’t sure I was ready. I never...

Ok, here goes. I am new to this so hopefully I get the hang of it and would love to meet some new people here! It seems like such a great website and a place to learn, cry, laugh, get advice, etc all from others like me. I was recently laid off and have way too much time on my...

I raised my son through 14 years of many ups and downs. Yes only 14 years, because at 14 it was decided he must live with his father...........400 miles away.
I miss him. I love him. I feel like I made a good choice. His father is finally in a place to "take care of business". He is...

The joys of trying to keep balance in your life. Ahhh yes, now there’s a topic we can all relate to. I knew when I signed up for three classes this semester AND started a new job teaching at a preschool that I was biting off a whole lot. Of course, I proved myself right.
Luckily, I...

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...

I have had more jobs that anyone I’ve ever met. No really! I know you think I’m exaggerating, but it’s true. Just take a look:
~Jack in the Box (my first job at 14)
~Wedding Dress Sales Woman
~Weinstocks (remember that department store?)

It started out as any other first day of school... nothing much out of the ordinary... My 4th and 6th grader get up at 6:30am and do their morning routine as if on auto-pilot: eat breakfast, put on school uniforms, brush hair, brush teeth, make bed, make lunch, empty the...

PRELUDE ~ I’ve often wondered what it would be like to be my son for a day. To get inside his head and walk in his shoes. With that in mind, I asked my 14 ½ yo “Man Cub” to guest blog for me today. I hope you enjoy!

Well, hi my name is Fallon the son...

The mind proceeds forward as the mouth turns to silence. What so desperately needed to be said was lost in translation only to those whose hearts are being guarded.
Unfortunately the road traveled is not one that is of loneliness, when we reflect on times of need to speak but yet unable...

That is the question.....
Ok, enough of quoting the Bard at 2:30 in the morning. But it is a question I ponder often. To be or not to be a mom, to have or not to have a child of my own. I'm 35, and while I never felt like I HAD to be a mom before, I'm also realizing that the clock is ticking,...

After a nice long chat with my grandmother this morning, I was thinking about being a wife/mother in the 1950’s. I was pondering how different it must have been compared to the lives of busy moms today. They didn’t have to lecture their children to keep their text’s to a minimum...

Some of you know the saga of my life. It's not epic, that's for sure, but it's filled with plenty of adversity and loss. In the end, the heroine prevails and comes out a better person from the trials set against her. Look at me know. I may be on meds, but I'm a well-adjusted person; healthy and...

I’m beginning to realize that as difficult as it is to be in the middle of a teen world, it also has its advantages. For example, I have my life back! I know this sounds a little severe, but that’s how it feels. After devoting myself night and day to raising a special needs child, I...
