The Original Drama Mama

One of my most absolute favorite things to do is relax with a good book. I love to sit and read. Lounge and read. Inside, outside, in the car (not while driving, of course), at the park, the beach, (and thanks to my E-Reader, in line at the grocery store) – basically anywhere and everywhere, [...]

…so all good intentions aside; my goal to post something here everyday in May has pretty much gone down the…well, you can use your imagination. In my defense, my other goal for May: to wake up every day at 5am and fit in 30-60 minutes of workin’ out before my life as a Mama takes [...]

Putting aside all the major stuff like anything happening to my family, cancer, car accidents, tornadoes, and what not…my biggest fear in all the world is…are you ready? Wearing a swim suit. In public. I haven’t done it in nearly 10 years…2002 was probably the last time that much of my skin was exposed at [...]

I firmly believe that mothers are a child’s first teachers.  Well, both parents are, but in many ways much of it falls in the lap of the mom (argue with me if you want, but I’m not trying to start a fight here on gender roles or anything).  Anyways, up until January of this year, [...]

I really wanted to post everyday in May. Really. But here it is not the end of the first week and already I skipped 2 days…if this was a diet I’d be thinking, “I’ve already screwed up, I might as well have another glass of wine… But if I learned anything from my latest experience [...]

Well, if I’m going to keep my promise to blog everyday in May, there’s no better excuse than to bring Monday Muse back! I can’t recall how I stumbled across blogger Amanda Del Buono’s website: MandaJuice – Blogging With the Safety Off, but I’m glad I did. Her writing style is open and honest and [...]

It’s the weekend,  so give me abreak. I know I said, “everyday in May…” but y’know, the weekend might have to count as one day. Things…they get busy around here. And my life is full of conundrums…like  how Miss A can brush her teeth at the speed of light, yet manages to get toothpaste EVERYWHERE [...]

If you were getting tired of all the St. Patty’s green, you’ll be happy to see I finally put up a new header for Spring (I know you’re not supposed to capitalize seasons, but I feel they deserve the respect). I look forward to many more gorgeous days out at the Botanic Gardens like the [...]

I love my blog. I love ranting, blabbing about my day, sharing neat stuff I find, and just talking about whatever floats through my brain. I am never ever “not busy,” but lately I have been even more “not busy” than ever (did that makes sense?). So my blog isn’t even on the back burner [...]

So said the late great Bernie Mac. Upon hearing those words, my husband decided that particular phrase must get marked down in his parental lexicon to be referenced for later use. Also included are Red Foreman’s ( That 70′s Show) variations on calling people a dumbass, and the one he currently employs regularly to the [...]
