1. Leftover soup for lunch. Mmmmmm…….. 2. A’s dance night. I love watching her. I didn’t get to see much tonight because I was chasing J around but seeing her do something she loves means the world to me. Got to talking to one of the other dance mom’s. She’s a stay at home mother of […]

Day 81
I mentioned a few days ago that I *might* have a baking problem. The first step to recovery is admitting you have a problem. I totally have a baking problem. Yesterday I made candy bars. I didn’t actually bake them though, so does it count? Today…baked some millet bread. And made soup. Delicious ham and […]
Day 80
Parenting a kid with oppositional defiant disorder is no joke. No one really understands what it’s like if they don’t have a kid like that themselves. I did some reading up online about parenting ODD kids today. Nothing really that I hadn’t heard before, but a refresher on basic skills was good. It’s been hard […]
Day 79
1. A peaceful parenting day. Sure, I caved a bunch, but there was very little fighting. It was nice. 2. A helped me clean, make dinner and bake muffins. Awesome mother daughter time. 3. Rented Rock Dog. I’m a sucker for music and kids movies and this one is pretty awesome. 4. Walked around downtown […]
Day 78
I started writing a post yesterday and never finished it. I deleted the whole thing. I feel like yesterday’s positives are gone. In retrospect I shouldn’t have done that, but I did. It’s been an epic parenting disaster. I’m short on sleep, didn’t eat dinner last night, forgot my nicotine patch. J is teething more […]
Day 77
Fall has a smell to it. This sweet smell of leaves. It’s almost indescribable. I noticed it when I left my work on my lunch break. It’s warm and humid, and the leaves coming off the maple tree are giving off that scent. I kind of love it. It makes me want to be outside […]
Day 76
I *may* have a baking problem. Yesterday I baked bread. And a triple berry crisp. Today, I did this: Apple pecan pie. It’s under cooked. I had exactly 1 hour before I had to leave before it came out. But, it’s all good. I consulted with my baker friend who told me there are no […]
Day 75
Things I did today: Got up to toddler singing at 530 am Made breakfast Did dishes Attempted meditation while moderating fight over my lap Ate half my breakfast while feeding the other half to a toddler who had decided mine was better than hers Moderated 10000 fights Rescued the plant from imminent death on the […]
Day 74
1. Red bull girls showed up at my work and gave me free red bull. Which I left in the fridge at work of course. But heeeey….free red bull! 2. I woke up this morning to the moonlight pouring in. It was beautiful. 3. Speaking of the moon, I got to watch the full moon […]
Day 73
Today I was contacted, along with other people by a person I know with a request to share the worst of the drinking stories on an anonymous blog. I immediately said yes, because that’s what I do, but now my thoughts are going. I’m not particularly concerned about this person knowing the dark and dirty, […]
