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...

~Jack in the Box (my first job at 14)
~Wedding Dress Sales Woman
~Weinstocks (remember that department store?)
~Sears
~Stuffed Animal Slipper...

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...

I've been away from the Club for a while. I surprisingly don't feel out of the loop. I guess it's because there is always a relatability between mothers and though our stories are different from each others', there is also an element of familiarity and that can make a frantic, stressed out, or...

As you can see I havent posted anything in awhile. It is painful for me to type for long periods due to my chronic pain in and stiffness in my fingers from some unknown thing at this time. Today while I was taking care on my clients pets, it was like an arrow hit me and I knew that things had to...

I am so happy doing what I do. I love being a Mom, a Wife, and a BeautiControl conslutant. I really thought that when I was in my late teens and early twneties, that I knew everything there was to know. I just recently turned 40, and boy do I need to learn a ton more. I...

So, I finally got the house to myself and I decided to recharge my battery with a fauxcha (or, fake mocha = espresso, hot cocoa mix, cinnamon and milk). My husband took our daughter to the mall to let her play at her favorite playground. I call it Mario World since it's reminiscent of more than...
