I am on a spring break trip with my family. I must say, it is one of the best things about life. We only have them for so long before they are grown and gone. Except maybe for that one who lives in your basement, until he’s thirty. I will never regret a dollar spent […]
Surviving My Son’s Wellness VisitÂ
I think I am a pretty good mother. I try to do all of the things that good mothers do. My children are my focus. I strive to make sure that they are happy, healthy and well-adjusted. Most days I walk around confident(ish) in my mothering abilities. Then I have to take one of my […]
A Parent’s Guide to Valentine’s Day
Holidays are so much bigger than they used to be. Take Valentines Day, for instance. The holiday of love. When I was a kid, my mother bought 20 generic valentines and wrote my name on each one. End of story. Done and Done. My job was to take them to school and give one to […]
When Mom’s the One Who’s Sick
Let me just start by saying that I rarely get sick. I pride myself on that fact. Like maybe I have some kind of superhuman immune system that refuses to allow viruses and bad bacteria into my body. Maybe scientists should be studying me, or something. Seriously, one time pneumonia swept through the other five […]
Overcoming My Fear Of Pressure Cookers
Happy 2017! I thought I would kick off the new year with a post. My 172nd post on this blog, to be exact. How many of those 172 posts have YOU read? If you need to catch up, please feel free. I’ll wait. I have time. Sometimes I wonder if anyone even reads blogs anymore. […]
Marriage And The Little Things That Drive You Nuts
Marriage is a wonderful institution. However, it is not an institution that should ever be entered into without serious reflection. Like, SUPER serious. Thinking someone is ‘hot” is simply not enough. “Till death do us part” is kind of a big deal. Like the stuff nightmares are made of, in some cases. You have to […]
How To Properly Fail A Sleep Study
I had my first ever physical earlier this year. I had all of the routine blood work and tests. Just as I suspected, I was relatively healthy: normal blood count, glucose, thyroid, kidney and liver function. I don’t want to brag but my cholesterol numbers were HDL 94, LDL 75 and Triglycerides 140. Oops. I […]
4 Weeks And Counting In A Fracture Boot
I am wearing a fracture boot and I’m about to lose my mind. You would think that I could be mature about it. I believe that everyone who has to wear one of these snazzy boots eventually reaches a new level of insanity. I cannot explain the feeling of claustrophobia that goes along with sporting […]
Last Night I Almost Smothered My Husband. Don’t Judge.
You know I would never actually smother my husband. Right? I am a law-abiding citizen and a rule follower. I love my husband. But at 3:00 A.M. the line of fantasy and reality can get a little blurry. What is it about the aging process that sucks all of the fun out of sleeping? Do […]
An Open Letter To Andy Cohen: I Am A Real Housewife
Dear Andy, I am a housewife and mother of four. I live in the suburbs in Tennessee. I started watching Bravo in 2006, when the Real Housewives of Orange County premiered. I was hooked instantly. I have watched New York, New Jersey, Atlanta, Washington D.C (that one, not so much) Beverly Hills, Miami (you can’t […]
