An Internal Monolgue Report: Conflicted

May 23, 2010

My internal monologue is constantly conflicted: About whether or not I should take on more “work” right now. (Mind says yes, body says no.) About what television I’m going to buy tomorrow. (Panasonic or Samsung?) Wondering if it will be too much to leave my son at school for naptime because we all had a very tiring [...]

Launching SMM Steals and Deals

April 16, 2010

I’ve struggled in the past with review blogging, putting giveaways on my main blog and being altogether hokey with promotions (oh, and complying with a certain organization called the FTC.) But I love deals and giveaways and promotions, so I decided to create a special space on my blog for all these things: SMM Steals [...]

Wifely

March 30, 2010

This is one of my favorite posts by my good friend Wired Momma. What the h is wrong with being a typical wife? According to her, nada. I think she nails it when she talks about how it’s easy to be a wife when we choose to leave our careers on our own terms. For [...]

Vacation on Twitter

March 21, 2010

Caitlin made me laugh when she brought everything but the Wii on vacation with her on a family trip. It’s so true. I’ve done much of the same on my vacation, although I am blogging right now from my husband’s netbook. (I can’t bear the thought of my Mac Book going through security at the airport.) [...]

A lesson in quitting, or screw you, Mommy Wars

February 16, 2010

Son: “Mommy, why did such and such (name witheld) leave our class earlier this year?” Me: “Well, she quit.” Son: “What’s quitting?” Me: “Hmmm… (realizing I probably shouldn’t use that term loosely around an almost four-year-old.) It’s when you decide not to do something anymore. Sometimes it’s good and sometimes it’s bad. Like, remember I [...]

Where school art projects go to die

February 13, 2010

One of the bonuses of my son attending preschool is that he has a new appreciation for art. One major downside to this newfound love of drawing, painting, doodling and crafting is that I now have art littering decorating the house. What to do with all of the art projects we’re debating throwing away collecting is clearly beyond [...]

Cliche the day away

January 25, 2010

I whittled the day away today going to the gym, lunching with a friend, and putting the baby down for a nap. This left me just enough time to catch up on my emails and the latest episode of Nip/Tuck. (While I’m sad the show’s ending, the fact that I’m still watching it during nap times two [...]

Small

June 21, 2009

I’m just starting to appreciate the joys of being pregnant again. I’m halfway through now, the heartburn is a’ ragin, and the comments are a’ comin. You know, the, “oh you look so cute,” “are you excited?” “what are you having?” kind. And then, the one that irks me the most. “You look really small.” [...]

19 weeks and counting…

June 10, 2009

Yes, I’ve been hiding it. For quite awhile now. I’m pregnant. Again. With the misery of a failed pregnancy behind me, I left the doctor today with a “A+ your fetus looks great” rating and awash in happiness and relief like I’ve never felt. I’m going to have a baby in November, come hell or [...]

Sick is cheap

April 12, 2009

I’ve spent no money this week. Well, not zero, but not enough so that when my husband asks me if I have cash on me, I can actually say, “yes!” I wish I could say it’s because I’ve been living up to my frugal promise. Alas, the real reason behind my full wallet is that [...]
