SIGH. That’s how I feel when I look at my house right now. These last few weeks have not been kind to my house. I haven’t cleaned in two weeks. There is stuff piled everywhere and my child’s toys look like a tornado blew through and scattered them all around. There’s also the clutter of [...]

Mushy Gushy
Posted in Parenthood on April 18, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Sometimes your child just knows how to make you feel good. The last two days mine has been very lovey with me. I call it “Getting All Mushy Gushy.” I’ve been getting tons of hugs and kisses and “Aaahhh Mom Mom.” But the best is the look in his eyes when he does all this [...]
Stop the Insanity!

I need a break from life. Today we visited the ER yet again. This would be the third trip to the ER in thirteen days for my family. This time it was for my husband. He is having back spasms so bad that at times he can’t stand or walk. It’s like watching a crooked [...]
Humbled and Helpless
Posted in Family, Infertility, Loss, Miscarriage, Motherhood on April 12, 2008 | 2 Comments »
This is a very personal post for me. It’s been a difficult time in our house. I’m experiencing my second miscarriage in the last five months. It’s left me feeling physically and emotionally drained. I’ve had to force myself to ask for help that I normally don’t ask for and share a very personal life [...]
Choosing An Identity?
Posted in Family, Multiculturalism, Parenting, Race on April 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Is my son already choosing which part of himself he will more strongly identify with or is it just coincidence?
Yesterday, was our first experience with a babysitter other than a handful of times my mom has watched my son. I was a bit nervous about the whole situation. Even though I was going to be [...]
Interesting Read

I occasionally read blogs from other moms. Here’s one I found particularly interesting: http://amommystory.blogspot.com/2008/04/who-do-you-trust.html
As I go through a very emotional time right now, I can’t imagine not having the support and advice of the many other moms I know. A recent call for help sent to my local mom friends was answered with such vigor [...]
The Wonderful World of Disney
Posted in Motherhood, television on April 7, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I’m ashamed to admit it but my toddler is getting quite familiar with all things Disney. I’m having some health issues (more about that another time) and so I’ve turned to the TV and DVD player more than I should to help keep my little one occupied. Like millions of us through the generations my [...]
Too Much To Do
Posted in General, Household on April 3, 2008 | 1 Comment »
It’s been a few days since my last post. I haven’t had the time, the energy, or the ideas to write. I don’t have much else in the way of ideas today. I’ve just got too much going on to come up with anecdotes. Is it just me or does this time of year breed [...]
