The unfairness of aging

August 3, 2012 by Jill 1 Comment

This isn’t a puff piece or anything regarding skin care, this is an honest reflection of events of a couple weeks ago, if you’re looking for light and airy, move on, but if you have relatives that are aging, read on a bit…
You see 2 weeks ago an older lady from our ‘old’ church died. […]

Talk about it Tuesday: How once you have kids, you never eat your own meal again

July 24, 2012 by Jill Leave a Comment

Is it just me or once that dam of ‘real food’ breaks open, that you never have your own meal again, unless it is eaten, over the sink in silence. Also a great way to snarf cookies without anyone noticing. Just in case you hadn’t figured that out yet. Now I have 2 kids begging […]

Thoughts on a Thursday: Someone pass the drugs for the mommy

July 12, 2012 by Jill 4 Comments

Tomorrow my baby goes in for surgery. ON HER EYE. I know, I know it’s a 10 minute procedure and they have like a million scheduled for that day. Doesn’t matter. Blah! They’re not my baby, are they? No. I only have one. One little sunshine who smiles all the time.

One little sunshine who makes […]

Talk about it Tuesday: Finding time for a fling

July 3, 2012 by Jill 9 Comments

Now, don’t get your panties.. errr boxers in a wad. I mean with your spouse or significant other. How do you ‘do it’… make time, take time, schedule time? A survey (undisclosed people, but I’m guessing it was all single New Yorkers based on where the announcement of this was)… said that people enjoy marital […]

Fun Monday: Intro to my Kids

June 25, 2012 by Jill 2 Comments

…
This is my 3.66 year old, Keeley. Obviously, that means she’s older than 3.5, but not quite 3 3/4. She so looks forward to being 4. She will be a ‘big big girl’ then and can have bubble gum. It’s something she told me the other day while I was attempting to make a birthday […]

Red dye #40: Talk about it Tuesday

June 19, 2012 by Jill 4 Comments

Tuesdays I try and put up something worth talking over. Here goes nothing…
I had heard other people say something about red dye and their kids’ insanity. I thought THEY were nuts. Until Keeley went bonkers about 20 minutes after eating fruit loops. Major bonkers, not just a normal bonkers. The next morning, same thing. The […]

Talk about it Tuesday: Hard lesson learned

June 12, 2012 by Jill Leave a Comment

There went who knows how much toilet paper in the john. Keeley was mad so she peeled it all off and threw it in there. She had nothing to be mad about. She was just using the bathroom and was not in trouble beforehand. She didn’t even wipe her tush with any of it. So […]

Thoughts on a Thursday: What is really important, anyway?

June 7, 2012 by Jill 1 Comment

I think this is something that all of us struggle with on a daily basis. We’re so busy. Right? Meals, house, work, baths, repeat. Even going grocery shopping can be a minefield. Organic? Is fresh-frozen better than fresh? Sweetener or cane sugar, or what about HFCS? and THAT is just picking out strawberries. Everything we […]

Thoughts on a Thursday: What to say/what not to say

May 31, 2012 by Jill 1 Comment

I know no one ever means bad by congratulating someone on having a natural childbirth, but to those of us who labored for hours, and tore over and over, only to be sewed up and torn again, and told, sorry, baby won’t come out, it’s like being stabbed. Everyone thinks you ‘gave up’ or ‘asked […]

Thoughts on a Thursday: If only real life was more like college..

May 24, 2012 by Jill 3 Comments

If only real life was more like college…
I’d be so happy. Not that I’m not content. In college, though, I felt like I had a purpose. People looked up to me, I had things to fight for, I had friends right down the hall I could just ‘tap tap’ and have another person’s perspective. Life […]
