Wordless Wednesday: Are pom-poms back in?

February 18, 2015 by Jill Leave a Comment

I was watching a segment on tv a while back, and it was featuring ‘jazzing’ up every day items… with pom poms… at first I thought it was strange.. and then…

Losing my identity through social media

February 7, 2015 by Jill 4 Comments

At first there just was e-mail. It was really slow. I could connect with friends, and they’d write back, chat daily with little programs, before real life set in. Then jobs got in the way, we moved apart and never were quite the same. E-mails exchanged more slowly now, a reply every now and then. … [Read more…]

Don’t pull your hair out over ‘winter break’ – just be a parent!

December 23, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

I see it every year. People lamenting, ‘poor me’ the school is closed for 2 weeks, what am I going to do with my kids for that long?   Here’s an idea–play with them! I don’t understand the mentality of having a breakdown because your children are home… that’s why I HAD kids… to enjoy … [Read more…]

Things that don’t make sense…about Kindergarten

December 18, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

Can’t believe it’s report card time already. Also that they give letter grades in Kindergarten. Also that grades still exist. Also that I have to say things like ‘it doesn’t matter what color you end up on at the end of the day, we love you no matter what.’ and also ‘I’m sure if you’d … [Read more…]

What no one tells you about parenthood

November 26, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

It’s the waiting. Waiting for them to smile, or roll, or walk. Or talk. For the fever to break. To see if you can visit family or if you’re stuck at home. On Thanksgiving… and pretty much decimate all your grand plans for sneaky Santa adventures over the weekend. Possibly having to cancel a baby’s … [Read more…]

NABLOPOMO Topic: Appliance you can’t live without

November 21, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

I’d like to think that in general, we could live without.. just about anything. We’d find a work around. We could hand wash in the tub and use a clothesline. We could use a gas grill and microwave if the stove quit. Vice versa. We’re able to build fires, have a whole forest of trees … [Read more…]

Nightmares… or not…

November 20, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

When a kid cries from her room, my husband’s first thought is nightmare.   Mine is to go for the barf bucket.   Priorities, people.

What a work mandated health assessment can’t ascertain

November 6, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

A couple of years ago, my husband’s work went from requiring a simple assessment of weight and height, exercise, etc. (which they paid us in gift cards to complete, by the way) to a penalizing system where if you do NOT complete it, then you pay more for health insurance. Carrot, meet stick. Not only … [Read more…]

Parent teacher conf. time

November 4, 2014 by Jill 3 Comments

It’s that time, for our first parent teacher conference. We’ve had downs, we’ve had ups. We want her more engaged, more challenged, and are going to ask for that. Because you don’t challenge someone who can read 4th grade books (or higher) by asking them to read Kindergarten books to other Kindergarteners. She can already … [Read more…]
