Since I didn’t have work this weekend I tried to pretend that everything was normal. I failed a bit. It’s hard to pretend that everything is normal when you can’t go anywhere other than your in-laws shop, an empty shelved Walmart, and your back yard. Thanks to some help from my in-laws though, I wasContinue reading “Self Quarantine Days 5 & 6: Silver Linings & Quarantine Dates”

Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out
We’ve all gotten very emotional. The reality of the situation is really sinking in and this extrovert is missing interacting with adults. The Hubs is here and wonderful but he’s still working (thank God) so it’s mostly me and the twins with the exception of work calls. The Twins are tired of each other. WeContinue reading “Self Quarantine Day 4: Venturing Out”
Self Quarantine Log Day 1
We’re wrapping up Day 1 of Corona Daycare here in the Mom Van. So far we’re virus free and still sane (at least as sane as we’ll ever be). I’m blessed to be able to work from home but I’ve also got the Twins with me. I’ve decided to log daily and hopefully share someContinue reading “Self Quarantine Log Day 1”
The Words We Say, The Lies We Choose
For those of you who don’t know me personally or are just joining me here in the Mom Van, it’s important to know that I don’t believe in coincidences. So, when the Universe smacked me with two messages that boiled down to, “stop being such a jerk to yourself!” I felt the need to reallyContinue reading “The Words We Say, The Lies We Choose”
Running Away to Recharge
Last week my husband and I were blessed with the opportunity to RUN AWAY. My amazing brother decided for Christmas to give us the gift of escape and fly us out to spend a few days in sunny San Diego. Our entire family (literally all 6 of our parents and 4 grandparents plus my brother)Continue reading “Running Away to Recharge”
Chasing Dreams
Seven years ago today I wrote on Facebook that I’d sent my resume to a local fledgeling museum. At that point it didn’t even have a building or a staff of more than one. I wanted to work for the organization so badly that I would have taken any position. A couple of days laterContinue reading “Chasing Dreams”
November 12
Five years ago, November 12 was just another day to me. The most exciting thing about the day was that it was the day before my cousin’s birthday and another day closer to Thanksgiving. Four years ago, November 12 became so much more special. It’s the day I met my Bonus Kids for the firstContinue reading “November 12”
Making Progress
This week is going by in a flash and stretching out over an eternity in nauseating back and forth fashion. I’ve woken up every day this week thinking that it was Thursday. At least today I got it right. Im still stressed but I’m making progress. A couple of months ago my husband mentioned thatContinue reading “Making Progress”
Facebook Memories
I have a love hate relationship with the Memories feature on Facebook. It’s really great for helping with things like remembering good times. I love seeing old pictures of myself and my friends and family. Some videos and memes still make me laugh year after year. Then there’s the dumb stuff that makes you think,Continue reading “Facebook Memories”
My Alma Mater
There seems to be a preconceived notion that says only the people who peaked in high school and the people who had miraculous physical/financial transformations should be excited about their high school reunions. I think that notion is BS. I am neither of these things. I left Redeptorist and did well in college. Then IContinue reading “My Alma Mater”
