Thoughts on a Thursday

When the music speaks

June 18, 2015 by Jill 1 Comment

While pregnant, one song or another always starts to speak with me. For instance, Travis Tritt’s ‘A Great Day to Be Alive’ was always on my lips during my first pregnancy. What I loved to dance to? ‘I Will Survive’ by Gloria Gaynor. Afterward, all I heard was ‘Chicken Fried’ by the Zac Brown Band. … [Read more…]

Thoughts on a Thursday: Schooling

December 11, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

This seems to be on my mind a lot lately. I may have mentioned it before, either on here or my personal Facebook account. We knew all along (well since she learned to read at age 3) that Keeley would have trouble in school. She’s gifted in reading. Before she even started school, she was … [Read more…]

Where would you be without 9/11?

September 11, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

I’m not sure I mean located, exactly. More like, mentally. Has your life changed a lot? I remember thinking as a newlywed (3 months married)… how could we ever have kids.. NOW?!? As time progressed and we got more used to life as it BECAME, not as it WAS… I guess we just grew into … [Read more…]

Thoughts on a Thursday: Life around here is never boring

May 29, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

Hey this is me with my head above the water! Woohoo! I mean granted the baby did this whole ‘up half the night’ thing and the bags under my eyes each clearly have 3 packed suitcases as if they’re going to Florida and want to be extra prepared, but.. you know. Bygones. (Ally McBeal reference … [Read more…]

Thoughts on a Thursday: When moms clean

May 15, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

As I was washing windows for the first time in oh… a year.. I was thinking about my mom. How she said that the minute she cleaned, we’d run up to the sparkling windows, press our fingers and noses on the glass and say ‘PRETTY MOMMY!’ I wondered how long these clean windows would last … [Read more…]

..and there’s another one! Games we play #6231

April 10, 2014 by Jill Leave a Comment

“MOM! I found an EGG and another EGG and another EGG! I found another golden egg.” No, my kid was not running around outside, or even inside. I downloaded an app* on the tablet. Talk about instant joy. I did it mainly for my 5 year old, but apparently the 2 year old learned how … [Read more…]

Thoughts on a Thursday: Preparing K for Kindergarten

April 3, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

This is my 5 year old, for those of you that have been around a while you might remember how I struggled with her birth, with the guilt over requiring a c section because she was stuck. How I was robbed of bonding time by jaundice and requiring of a bili bed in the hospital, … [Read more…]

Thoughts on a Thursday: Reaching out

February 21, 2014 by Jill 3 Comments

It’s been a week since I posted. Sheesh. I did write a post for a different blog though. It’s part of my ‘reaching out’. You see, with my 3 ring circus and how the winter has been, I’m feeling the pinch of being a stay at home mom right now. Because I’m really staying at … [Read more…]

Why your husband being your best friend is a blessing AND a curse

January 30, 2014 by Jill 1 Comment

As soon as the Christmas trees are clearanced out, hearts and candies and frilly cards are in the stores. A lot of us have just gone through the travesty of traveling with their kids to 15 relatives houses who all are perfectly mobile but think ‘it’s too far for me to drive’–forgetting that traveling with … [Read more…]
