To Job Hunt or Not?
To Job Hunt or Not?
I’m in a quandary. My contract is up at the end of August – which is longer than I expected – and while I’ve loved working with the people there, the job itself isn’t glamorous – WHICH IS FINE – but I kind of miss my kids and keep getting sick and missing work! I am the worst employee ever, despite this cannot be helped. No one else in the group has little kids, so I’m the lone oddity plagued…

It Disappeared!
I just made the last post private for several reasons. I’m job-hunting and I don’t want potential employers coming across it for one. Secondly, it was just so depressing. I don’t want to look at the blog and see it there and re-read it again. To Erin, I’m sorry I didn’t get a chance to comment back, but I appreciate your inspiring words and agree with you 100%! Thank you so much for your…

The year from hell
The year from hell
Pardon the profanity, but it’s well deserved. This has been the worst year of our lives.
I don’t even know where to start. Our family has totally fallen apart. Dave asked me to move out in April because of some things I did that I should not have done. I regret every bit of it and would take it back in a heartbeat if I could. I was the tipping point of destruction. I moved to Raleigh and…

Why is Everybody Who is 38 - 40 Getting Divorced?
Why is Everybody Who is 38 – 40 Getting Divorced?
I posed this question recently and got some interesting answers. Mainly it had to do with being unsatisfied in a relationship and fearing being in said relationship for the rest of their life. Others had been cheated on, or felt “used up,” or had thought the grass was greener on the other side. I can’t count how many friends I have in this age range who are currently separated, have separated…

The End for Now
The End for Now
There are a lot of transitions going on in our household, I won’t go into them right now, but I won’t be blogging at this site anytime in the near future. I am very sad to see it end. It’s been eight years of memories, funnies, happy times and some sadness. It will stay up, but there won’t be any additional posts.
I will be starting my own blog. Much of it will be private but there will be…

Handwriting With Tears
For those of you in the homeschooling community, you’ll get the little play on words in the title. For those of you who aren’t, well, you’re not missing much.
I’m done. I am throwing in the towel after this miserable year. I am too ill to do this. I cannot motivate my child. He is too hard to handle, too stubborn, too hard-headed, too much like me. I can hear the anti-homeschooling crowd…

I'm Having a Cyber Monday Sale!
I’m Having a Cyber Monday Sale!
Okay, not really me, but my sister from another mother.
My best friend is an essential oil guru and has helped me through many an ailment, and when I broke my toes this summer, she instructed me on a series of oils to put on my toes that got rid of the pain better than hydrocodone (and the lovely constipation that goes along, gggrmpmh). I was skeptical this would work since my toes felt like…

Make Yourself Comfortable
My kids are learning all sorts of things in public school that we didn’t really learn/choose to learn when we were homeschooling. Rhys came home yesterday and recited the Pledge of Allegiance (yes, I didn’t bother teaching them this – that is a post unto itself). He got it right and here’s how it ended:
“…one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all, you may now be…

Juice bottle fun, I LOVE these! #phineasandferb #whatchadooooin
Rush
For those of you who have never homeschooled, let me just say I feel like I never see my children and the school runs our entire family’s schedule. Our school is great and the teachers are wonderful, but they see my boy more than I do. Some random kid in class sees my kids more than I do. We’ve got approximately 39 minutes to play with neighborhood friends afterschool because then they need to do…

#Parcheesi with Grandma. Maybe she'll have better luck with this than #chess with Rhys 😆
