Despite the fact that I’m desperately working on trying to get my ducks in a row, my ducks still look very much like squirrels who are running around like it’s Armageddon. (Case in point, I kept trying to write ducks but typed dicks twice. Send wine.) Anyway, today has been a freaking beast. So muchContinue reading “Is It Bedtime Yet?”

We’ll Get It Right
It’s 9:30pm and all four kids are in bed. Not asleep, but in bed so that’s a start at least.

WeContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out”

When I’m A Bad Mom
The times when I am a bad Mom, Are the times when I act exactly the way I tell my children not to. When I am impatient, I tell them to hurry up when really, there is no reason to rush. When I lose my temper, I yell out of frustration. When I say uglyContinue reading “When I’m A Bad Mom”
