Adventures of Mommyhood
Hey folks! I just came off of the BEST WEEKEND EVER. Ky had her first recital and I’ve been in awe of her since. Her little group all went on stage, did their thang, and left...no tears! I'm pretty sure that is UNHEARD of! I just could not stop watching her little videos. And as… Continue reading …being strong
I have reached my breaking point. I’m convinced these “Terrrrrrrrrrrifible Twos” are turning me grey (no, like seriously...I found a grey strand and named it Larry). I was ok with Ky being terrible at home. I’m not the best person when we’re home anyway. I just want to lay down, watch my shows, drink wine,… Continue reading ….Reaching a Breaking Point
Hey folks! So I've had one helluva crazy past couple of weeks. Ky came down with the flu AND pneumonia. When I tell you I was freaking the fuck out... I feel like I haven't slept in 2 weeks, and that might be pretty accurate. It was so scary seeing her so helpless, so sick and… Continue reading …giving yourself a break
(Excuse the lateness of this post and just roll with it. Ok? Cool!) It's finally Summer! Which means 2.5 things: 1) this school year is O V E R!!! 2) I get to spend more time doing things with Belly! and 2.5) I get a little break from Belly as well! Not that I don't… Continue reading …doing it (mommy/daughter update)
Hey folks! I just wanted to take the time to write a loving letter... Let's begin shall we! ____________________________________________________________________________________________ To whom it may concern, I just wanted to write to you about all the advice you so lovingly give... From how to wash my child to what I should buy my child. Yes, I so generously thank you for taking such… Continue reading …taking advice like a boss
Hey folks! So I have done it! The impossible! And now I am in my family's history books. This past Spring Break I decided Ky and I were NOT going to spend it in NC. We needed a break. So I packed our things and Belly (that's what I'm calling her these days) in the car… Continue reading …traveling adventures
Hey folks! So I had this conversation with a friend of mine that I thought would be great to talk about... As you know I'm a teacher - Pre-K in particular - and I deal with a few things when it comes to Pre-K. Well my first year teaching, there was a student, male, whose… Continue reading …being an advocate for all children
Hey folks, I debated going into this topic only because Ky's T.O.P (The Other Person) and I haven't always seen eye-to-eye and I really don't want to paint him in a negative light. So keep that in mind while I still go forth with this anyway, K? When I pictured myself having kids (like in… Continue reading …co-parenting
Hey folks! So here in NC, we have been snowed in for the weekend and the next two days (Yippee! Because my lesson plans weren't done anyway! Ha!) But that also means Ky and I have been inside...ALL....FLIPPIN...DAY. "Why don't you take her out in the snow??" you say? She gave me this look... And… Continue reading …spending time
Hey folks, This time of year always leaves me in such mixed feelings. So this December, my dad would have been 55 years young. He transitioned from this world 7 years ago. So December (and June) have always been months where my depression peaks its little head ever so often and all I want to… Continue reading …having regrets
