It has been a full week of civic duty in our household. First we elected a Conservative majority in our country. And then on Wednesday we were greeted with the 2011 census. Rather, we were greeted with a code to complete the survey online. Whatever, I’m not good at mailing things anyway. Figuring I would…

Waiting
I remember when my Mom was pregnant with my youngest sister. I was nine and the thrill of having a baby sibling was almost more than I could bear. From the moment I knew, I could hardly contain my excitement as I waited to find out whether I was going to have a baby brother…
Making it Count
I have been looking forward today. I know. You don’t have to remind me that it is Monday. You don’t have to tell me that I have to wake up to a 6:30 am alarm clock (if the baby doesn’t wake me up first – which he did), rush around trying to get myself and…
Ragamuffin
There is still one thing that I have yet to get used to about being a Mom. It seems as though I am completely unable to dress this new body of mine. You wouldn’t know it by looking in my closet or on my bedroom floor (I will NOT post a picture for fear of…
Be Jealous
Chick flick and colada/daiquiris. Sounds like a perfect girl’s night out. Or, it sounds like my husband loves his wife enough to see a movie that she wanted to see and not make fun of her for having a girly drink while he drank a Coke. People? We had a date! I love being a…
When You’re Dancing With Your Honey…
…and his nose is kinda runnyand you think it’s kinda funny,Well it’S NOT*Typical. That’s my son for you. A typical snotty nosed kid. I love kids. I always have. But I used to get so grossed out when parents would let their kids run around with snot all over their faces. Grossest thing EVER! Shouldn’t…
The Best Tasting Treat
I wish I could take you there. To a land in the clouds. Where lollipops grow and flowers bloom. Where rainbows can be touched and held and tasted. Where you don’t have to do anything. But you do. Because you can fly. And at night, when the millions of stars come out and dance just…
Safely Fallen
On Saturday night I went out to dinner with my cousin and some girls that I only slightly know. My cousin was sweet enough to invite me along and I could not have had a better time. Since returning to work, I have had much more “adult time” but much less “social time”, and it…
The Art of the Tantrum
As I left my office yesterday morning, turning the corner that led to the lobby and towards the set of escalators on my way to the coffee shop, I heard a familiar sound. Rather, I heard a sound that will soon be familiar. As I gently rode the electric staircase towards the floor below, I…
An Abundance of Lost Words
I’m at a loss for words. I have so much to say. I never would have guessed that I’d be writing about this here – on this blog. I started this blog when I was pregnant with Cameron. I meant for it to capture my journey into and through motherhood. I wanted to reflect on…
Bring on the Golf!
While I was browsing Twitter this weekend, I noticed that someone wondered if there would be many “golf widows” this weekend. If it wasn’t for my husband, I would have paid no attention to that tweet. But because Dan was so excited about it, I knew that The Masters was being played over the weekend….
