There’s not much I like about spending 40 hours a week away from my children. I work full-time and let me tell ya – when 4:00 rolls around I start getting antsy! By that time I am SO ready to see my kiddos. Although it sucks to say goodbye in the mornings there is something about working that [...]

On Tuesdays and Thursdays I take the boys to daycare. Naaman is already at work so it is my responsiblity to get them from home to “school” on time. I have always said, I hate daycare days because they stress me out more than a day when Naaman is home with the boys or their [...]

1. Thank you for all the kind words and well wishes on my new job. My first day went well and I am very hopeful that it will be the place where I belong. 2. Even though we’re on a budget, I decided to break it and FINALLY buy myself some new clothes. I have been searching for [...]

Remember how I told you how I had big news? Well, the big news starts today. I got a new job! I knew this three weeks ago but really wanted to wait awhile to let it sink in. I guess I’m still in shock that this has happened. I had been unhappy at my old [...]

I walked into work today, disheveled, moody, hurting to see home again. My shirt sloppily untucked. My cardigan unbuttoned. Wet curls dangling at my shoulders. There was not time to dry them. There never seems to be enough time. Landon was coughing and sniffling and complaining that his ear hurt. But I still had to [...]

This is going to get rant-y. But you know what? I just really feel like I need to unload. You all know I just celebrated my fifth year of blogging. I didn’t really start to get serious about blogging until August of 2010. It was then that I had a blog redesign and switched to [...]

Turn onto the road. The same road. Construction slows flow. Sips of coffee at a stoplight. Another cop. Stopped an unsuspecting speeder. The person’s head is down. Why were they rushing? Rushing to work. Why would you do that? Turn onto the highway. The same highway. Same cars ahead of me. Monday sunrise reflections. Blinding [...]

A couple of months ago, right before I left for BlogHer, I lost my temper at work. I have had my fair share of criticism in the workplace and I am not too proud to admit that I will never be employee of the month. Something was said to me and in a fit of [...]

Working is something many of us moms do. Some of us stay home. Some of us like it. Some of us don’t. We’re all making choices and doing the best we can. Right now, I’m a working mom. I toss my pajamas in the hamper and put on something that may or may not match. I [...]

It’s in the nineties here and I figured my legs needed a break from pants. monday afternoon: Grandma Connie & Grandpa Neil came up to see the kiddos. I had to work but while I was gone Landon picked me some weeds flowers. monday night: [...]

I'm a working mama to two of the most beautiful and sweet little boys. Landon is 3 1/2 and Brigham is 21 months. Yes, I survived a stint of two under two with a baby who didn't sleep for a year. And if I ever actually realized my dream of walking down the red carpet I'm sure there would be dirt on my dress. I'm just trying not to trip over Tonka trucks. This is where I write, laugh, dream, share, cry, and hope with honesty.
