Day 141: Well folks, it finally happened…and other randomness

First things first.  The thing that finally happened…it’s the one where the daycare workers get to see an Abby first.  When the hubs came home Friday, he told me that when he dropped Abby off in the morning, Miss B asked if we had seen Abby go backwards.  GAH!  NO WE HAVEN’T!!!!!!!!!!!  I mean, I [...]

Day 140: Brain Consumption

Right now my brain is fried.  So I thought that I would write about what my brain is consumed with during my M-F work days.  But before I continue, I want to preface this by saying that once in grad school, a professor said something to the nature of the fact that teachers don’t steal, [...]

Day 139: Is it Award Season again?

It’s really great to get awards, especially when I have so many days of feeling disconnected from the mommy blogging world since being back to work. So when Monkey’s Mom Monkey aka Lauren, from Through the Eyes of Lauren, gave me the Versatile Blogger Award, I was super psyched. I met her mommy, though, not [...]

Day 138: Wordless Wednesday…sort of

So I took this picture with the cell phone earlier this week.  I have learned 3 things from it: 1.  I have the cutest little girl in the world (sorry other mommas of girls out there, but I’m biased) who got even cuter when she decided blowing raspberries on her momma’s face was super cool [...]

Day 137: Attempts at being a Domestic Goddess (giveaway content too!)

***CLOSED*** And the winner is… Before I went back to work, I really thought I was on my way to becoming a domestic goddess…you know where dinner is ready and waiting for the husband when he got home from work and I actually enjoyed vacuuming b/c it was also a form of exercise and getting [...]

Day 136: Still got my McFatty Body

I’ve lost track of time.  I’m thinking that it’s been about a month since I said I would do a monthly McFatty Monday post instead of weekly.  And if I’m wrong, who really cares. So let’s see…um yeah, I think I’ve lost like 1 pound.  And that’s a big “I think” b/c my scale changes [...]

Day 135: The Insight of Going it Alone (mostly), from Mommy and Molly

I have to say I have no clue how I get everything done on a daily basis, even with the help of my husband.  But there are so many mommas out there who are going it alone.  I mean my parents got divorced when I was 8 months old and my brother was 6.  I [...]

Day 134: Cough Cough Sneeze Sneeze……repeat

I’m starting to understand this whole family cycle of sickness.  You know where one person gets sick and then once they are better the next one is sick and so on. A month ago, Abigail was sick.  A week and a half or so ago the hubs was sick.  And well, now it’s my turn.  [...]

Day 133: I Can't Always be a Negative Nancy

I’ve been having a lot of up moments at school despite the crap I’ve had to deal with since being back.  Here are a few, in no particular order: 1.  I got observed teaching.  You have 2 a year and my first this year was the morning I decided I was done working at 38 weeks [...]

Day 132: My First Offical Momma's Day!

I had a wonderful Mother’s Day.  Two things helped to contribute to my sanity this past Sunday…as Sunday’s are pretty busy around these parts. 1.  I went grocery shopping on Saturday 2.  Monday was a teacher work day so I had all day to get crap done  Because of this, I was really able to sit [...]
