Mom The Verb

Being a mom is one of the greatest gifts I have ever been given. Yes it is trying on certain days. It means cold coffee, days without a shower, no personal space, and little free time. I haven’t written a blog in awhile and one reason is lack of free time. With three I’m lucky if everyone naps at the same time. Well let’s say if they nap at the same time it is equivalent to winning the lottery.…

Losing Someone...

Losing Someone…

When you’re about to have baby girl #3 you need some advice from the old pros. The people that had three daughters and lived to tell about it. One of those people was my Peepaw aka Duke(the closest I got to calling him this was Puke.) He was a father of three girls, he was a grandfather to 3 girls and boy, and a great grandfather to 3 girls(soon to be 4) and two boys. So I have to say he’d be the…

Life Balance is B. S.

The past two weeks have been trying in the Mommy department. Learning or going back to doing things on my own always sends me into a Mommy funk. I feel like I’m failing in every department. I feel like I need life to balance, but then I watched a video by Darren Hardy. He hit the nail on the head, life balance is B.S. I am more in “balance” when my counterpart is here, but when he is gone life…

The End of the Offseason

As the offseason comes to an end too quickly I begin to prepare myself for parenting on my own. This preparation is one of mental toughness and physical strength. I survive my days with caffeine and help from the outside world. This year our world will be flipped yet again by adding another kid to the mix about a month after Spring Training ends. This entails a lot of planning. Planning that I’ve…

When You Take a Backseat to “Mommy”

As a little girl I aspired to many things. At one point I wanted to be a meteorologist because I was scared of storms. So I thought if I could predict them I’d be good to go. That quickly faded when I learned a lot of meteorology had to do with science. That’s not my strong suit. I did come to love the theater and Music

Being a Girl Mom

I love being a Mommy, even as I write this from my couch home sick with the flu. I think how much I love being a mommy. I have two beautiful girls and with a third baby on the way, we were anxious to find out what this next little bundle would be. I had feelings it was a boy, but also know I’d be happy either way. So when the day came and the ultrasound tech announced “it’s a girl!” tears of joy…

Baby Number Three!

So one night before the end of the season in August I was standing in front of the sink and I got a little dizzy. I thought “Hmmmm…that’s weird!” But went on doing the dishes. Then I few days later I was changing Frankie’s diaper and almost yacked everywhere, and once again I thought “Hmmm…that’s weird.” Also it’s not normal because poopy diapers don’t normally have that effect on me. Then a few…

The Moment Slipped Away

You know I have had about five blogs that I have been meaning to write lately. Life has been crazy, the kids have been crazy, and being a home owner always makes things crazy. We are finally home for the off-season. I got a serving job to bring in some extra cash. We didn’t plan on paying $900 for a new water heater and until we win the lottery or get a big league sized paycheck, I need to help…

That September Call Up

Often minor league players at the end of the season pray for that September call up. As a coach in the minors it isn’t something that happens often. Last year my hubby got that phone call! He was like a kid on Christmas. We could not go as a family last year because we had a 3 week old and I had had a C-Section. We did get to go to one game, but we were freezing and my newborn projectile…

10 days...

10 days…

Tonight I am sitting here drinking a beer, while listening to the washer run, it has a pee soaked car seat cover in it. I am thinking of the end of every season where 10-14 days before he is supposed to come home, shit hits the fan. I am tired of using the bathroom with the door open, I am over finding someone to watch my children so I can have an hour of peace, I have been doing it for 7 months…

Mommy Needs a Moment

Today has not been the best day! I haven’t got much sleep this week and the wifi wouldn’t work for me to get in my Shift Shop workout today(I did it this evening) and I cancelled my Pure Barre class due to sheer exhaustion. So today has been a day of let downs. I called my husband sobbing at 5 am because I needed a moment. A moment when a child isn’t hanging on me, screaming, keeping me awake,…

Mommy a.k.a "The Bad Guy"

Mommy a.k.a “The Bad Guy”

Yesterday as I had taken away the umpteenth thing from my toddler(which in the end normally punishes mommy more than my toddler) I got really upset. I was upset because I argue with my 2 year old all day everyday and I feel like that’s all I do. I get it, I signed up for this motherhood thing, and I wouldn’t change it for the world. I know I will always be “the bad guy” and some days I am okay…

#momlife

In beginning this crazy adventure I knew I’d have moments that made me crazy. Of course later these moments will cause fits of laughter, but in that moment I want to scream. Sometimes I do scream and as you know, when I do I scare the shit out of my ten month. There are different kinds of days in “momlife” there are the days you feel like a total rockstar because you were totally on it and got an…

The Two Battle

Oh to be two, where the world is your oyster and you think everyone, including mommy, should bend at your command, and if someone should cross you, your head spins around exorcism style and you become a scary little thing! My little lady is two(28 months) and she tells everyone she’s three. She already thinks she’s big stuff. School ended the end of May so I haven’t been doing this TAM(traveling…

On The Road Momming It

You know I claim to be a SAHM(stay at home Mom) but the truth is I’m never home so I can’t really call myself that. I’m more of a TAM(travel around Mom) we live out of hotels and apartments. TAM’s have wonky schedules and bedtimes are set by what time a ballgame ends. We are on our own a lot and often we become a “human jungle gym” for our children to entertain themselves during a double header.…

Losing My Fur Baby!

Fourteen years ago I got a little puppy and I had no idea what I was in for. This little lady would take me on quite a few adventures. From shredding a 30 pack of toilet paper all over my living room when she was four, to getting lost for three days because someone picked her up out of my front yard thinking she was a stray dog. In the fourteen years I had Wrigley there was never a dull moment.…

The Mom Squad! Mad Respect 🤜

This weekend I traveled by myself with two children under the age of two. I made it to Birmingham in one piece and honestly its thanks to the Mom Squad. You mommies know who you are! The Mom Squad is not an elite club, it’s only requirement is that you are a Mom. This squad of women help Mommies in need. For example when your child takes her shoe off in the middle of a busy Starbucks and you have…
