I swear… if we are out of isolation for Father’s Day, I’m going to lose my mind. Jokes. Sorta. But in all realness, every single Mother needs to give herself one wicked hug right now (you know, since we’re not allowed to hug anyone else) and give herself the biggest Kudos known to humankind. What … Continue reading Mama’s Day 2020
Exhale. I made it. Another day down. Phew. But is anyone else losing their voice right now? And no, it’s not Covid…. I guess I’ve been using my *ahem* ‘teaching voice’ a lot more often than normal.

I’ve had a pretty decent stretch of a few days here.

Finally.

Oh, and blow dry my hair. It was … Continue reading Easter Weekend: Physical Distancing Edition.

I’m that person who is there for them no matter what and they know I’ll be there for them at the end of the day, … Continue reading Single Mom’ing This. Legit.
I am missing extra curriculars BIG TIME today. I miss waking up at 5am to get my son to the arena for an early morning practice and then racing to get my daughter to dance on time and then home to get whoever to where ever. Oh, and the grocery dash. I loved that stuff … Continue reading Mourning the “What Was”and Celebrating the “What Could Be”
Whoa. 2 entries in 2 days. I’m slightly impressing myself. Could this perhaps be the start of a new habit? Eh? Ehhhh? Probs not. Don’t get too excited.
