Oh man. I told my mom today that my life is spiraling out of control! Ha! And why? Because Christmas is a full time job! And I already have 2 full time jobs! My actual job and my family. I have SOMETHING every night and weekend day. This Saturday alone I have 3 commitments and [...]

I’m off the pill… run for your lives!
Posted on 23. Nov, 2010 by Andy Ptacek.
I was SO excited to get off the pill. That pesky little nuisance that I hated to remember. I thought life would be so much easier if I didn’t have to roll over at night to grab that pill and swallow it dry… it didn’t deserve water, after all.
Get the picture? Yeah, I hated that [...]

Too tired to keep up.
Posted on 16. Nov, 2010 by Andy Ptacek.
“Oh man, can’t tomorrow be Saturday?” That was my Facebook post… on MONDAY. I feel like I’m drowning all day in lists and errands and dirt that by night, I’m just done. The thing is, the night is my time to play catch up so then the next day I’m even further under water.
I have [...]

Am I really a WAHM if the kid is at the sitter?
Posted on 23. Sep, 2010 by CharShaff.
I had such grandiose ideas about being a WAHM. I could manage all my client work while stacking blocks with my son on the office floor. All I needed was my Blackberry phone and I could run off to play dates and the grocery store whenever I pleased. I’d be the good wife and fix a [...]

“I think I’ve lost my social…”
Posted on 16. Sep, 2010 by Andy Ptacek.
This was the start of my sentence when my husband promptly finished it with, “Skills!” Wow, really? That was fast. I guess that was the truth, sort of. We were talking about how it’s so hard to have an adult conversation or catch up with friends or even say hi to everybody in a social [...]

My two-year-old drops the F-bomb
Posted on 26. Aug, 2010 by Andy Ptacek.
Damn it. I think he gets it from his dad.
Jokes aside, we rarely curse… I can’t believe THIS is the word he decides to mimic. My husband had been telling me that Tavin, my son, was saying the F word, but I kept telling him he must be mistaken. Then I heard it for myself, [...]

This is what I heard in my car this evening on a local radio talk show. The host was bashing the media, bashing the mom and bashing the law saying that we should hold our moms to a higher standard… that they needed to stick around and give medical information and see the child into [...]
