Confessions of a stay at home mommy
Oct 28, 2004 | Filed Under: Fashion Disaster, Household CEO, Making Connections, Mommyhood

I loved Lauren’s game (if you knew me in real life, what do you think you would know?), but since I have something like two readers I didn’t quite think I could pull it off. Instead, I decide to play True Confession a la genuine:

  1. I actually love the days when I don’t get anything done because little one insists on being held all day.
  2. If you ask me to bring snacks, I will never say no.
  3. I take a nap at least twice a week.
  4. If you say 69—in any context—I will giggle uncontrollably.
  5. If you think I don’t like you, you’re probably right.
  6. I didn’t forget what you asked me to buy; it just wasn’t on sale.
  7. We have enough food in this house to last at least 2 months; I will go shopping anyway.
  8. I am fashion illiterate.
  9. Sometimes, when I call “not it” as hubby gets home, I really did know she was dirty before he walked in the door.
  10. I do, in fact, think my kid is smarter than your kid.

Happiness Is…
Sep 24, 2004 | Filed Under: Glamorous Life, Making Connections

Genuine asked what makes me happy. Typing out a short list made me smile. It’s nice to think about what love and happiness are sometimes.

This has been such a crazy month. It is so easy to get stressed out and forget about the good stuff. In an effort to kick out the yucky, out of control feelings here is a list of my happy thoughts:

  • Hugs and Kisses from my girls
  • quiet time with hubby
  • my girls’ giggles
  • turning down the blankets before climbing into bed
  • finding out hubby has already put away the toys before I come downstairs at night
  • sleeping in
  • helping a friend
  • Pizza Night
  • curling on the couch in the middle of the day to watch a favorite movie
  • bubble baths
  • the feeling of my husband’s hand on my back as we walk together
  • paying $5 for a cart full of groceries
  • the sweet sound of “I love you” from a toddler’s lips
  • Special “I love you” notes from a new writer
  • a phone call for no reason
  • blank spaces on my calendar
  • a cool breeze on a sunny day
  • giving the perfect gift
  • a gentle reminder that Someone’s watching over me
  • a yummy candle scent filling the house
  • finding cash left in a pocket—even if it’s just $1
  • getting ready for Date Night
  • a mid-week lunch with hubby

Here I am
Oct 20, 2003 | Filed Under: Making Connections

Okay, so now I have this blog. I’m not really sure what to do with it. I think my hubby is hoping I’ll talk at him less. I am a stay at home mom to our 2 children, ages 5 and 10 months. While I think it is the most important job in the world, it leaves me craving adult conversation at the end of the day. So maybe this will be where I pretend I’m talking to other people who are potty-trained and don’t have imaginary friends (you don’t, do you?) Maybe I’ll just use it so the hubby will actually hear me. He seems to pay attention more when technology is involved. I suppose that is the geek in him. Or, maybe I’ll do as Chet suggested and use this blog to report on behind the scenes life with Super!Geek. Nah, that would only encourage him.
