Monday. My kids used to be extra squirrelly on Monday mornings, now it is my little guy who is a bit off. I try to be understanding, it doesn’t always work, Mondays are hard for me too. Oscar Monday mornings are especially difficult. I am usually in bed by 10pm, staying up after midnight isContinue reading “I got you…”

Saving Wormy
I have a problem with saving. I probably save too much stuff and not enough money…but my real issue is that I get way too caught up in saving living things. My husband noticed this one day on a lovely walk on the beach. Instead of enjoying the breathtaking views and smelling the amazing combinationContinue reading “Saving Wormy”
Family Fun Myers-Briggs Style
The ability to hear the voices of people you love as the soundtrack of daily living is underrated. Making breakfast for a crowd is my everything. Heaven on earth is sitting in the back seat of the car between my kids, arms overlapping, thighs touching, and the sound of snoring beside me. How sweet toContinue reading “Family Fun Myers-Briggs Style”
Sigh…
Twenty six years ago this kid came into our lives. Sigh. He was a surprise, the best surprise we ever received. I am not sure we would have ever been “ready” to have a kid. I was not even ready to have the stray cat we found on the street let alone a human. I’mContinue reading “Sigh…”
Reflections
February, March, and April mean daily flashbacks to high school play production goodness, birthday celebrations, and vacations in Florida. Nanny and kids playing at the beach, insulation foam “pies”, parties, museum visits…and happy happy faces. I am a bad mother…I completely adore when my son has a long commute home from work. On those daysContinue reading “Reflections”
Choice… (nothing to do with uteri)
I am a huge believer in choice. This is in no way a political post. This is about creating your own happy. Our choices are what make our lives bearable. We can choose to look on the bright side or we can focus on the gloom. It really comes down to that. Many moons ago,Continue reading “Choice… (nothing to do with uteri)”
Happy Birthday Dear Swoons!
Swooning.me is two years old today, and just like with my kids, it feels like it has always been a part of my life. It kinda was. I have always felt my feels in XXXL. The need to want to share those feels combined with our friend FB…lead to swoonie posts, which lead to peopleContinue reading “Happy Birthday Dear Swoons!”
The Cat Came Back…
My little guy’s ears perked up when he heard me singing this song the other day. At the the time I could not figure out how on earth it got into my head, now it makes sense. Zoom. Before 2020, all things Zoom were about a group of spectacularly cool (and a bit nerdy) tweens.Continue reading “The Cat Came Back…”
Making it Work
This is a classic picture from my childhood. I am on the right with the crazy huge smile. I have no recollection of this event but any time my sister and her friends allowed me to be in their presence it was the BEST DAY EVER. My sister is five years older than me, backContinue reading “Making it Work”
Meatloaf
I love me a good meatloaf…a bit burnt on the outside, nice and firm inside. Ketchup top with a side of string beans and mashed potatoes. Yum. A blast from the past…but I am writing about a different blast from the past…Meatloaf the man. Bat Out of Hell which sounds more like bad atta hellContinue reading “Meatloaf”
