The punks. I kid. The babies made me "cry happy" as my daughter would say. First, I cried because we got a new member to my tribe; my family . My girl had her sweet baby, a beautiful daughter, a niece to me, whom I love already. And when my friend told me how she couldn't possibly love her ...
It’s pretty sweet.
Now that we have downsized from a King bed to a Queen, my husband and I are so much closer. Literally and also in spirit. And this morning, I woke up early, looked over, and thought, "I get to sleep cuddled up next to the boy I have a crush on." And it brought me back to the ...
There’s something really important that you need to know.
As I said yesterday, over on 511, I am quite different than my marathon runner sister. I do not work out, I have never belonged to a gym and I ran almost 3 miles with Twin ONCE on the Boardwalk and that is the only thing I have ever done. I was good at sit and ...
My happy place.
Today, I needed to remember to put my mask on first so I took my son to my happy place. There I've spent much time walking, staring at layer upon layer of lush trees, listening to music... And feeling peace. Today I needed peace. And I got it.
Threadbare
Tonight, as I toweled myself off after my shower, this old post popped into my head. As I looked in the mirror I saw tired eyes, hair that has not been washed since Monday morning (which is a new record, even for me. And no, Twin, it doesn't even look dirty) and I thought to myself, threadbare. The real ...
“You’ve got me and I’ve got you,”
said my daughter, and she cuddled up to her brother under our covers this morning. #team
Burst pipes, burst tears, and the craziest week ever.
There are times when I find it difficult to find the words to type. Other times, they just come pouring out. Like a flood. I write this post from a chair in my parents' living room, in my dad's XL sweatshirt, reeling. Tears are starting to form in my eyes. Like a flood. *** This week we had historic rains. When we ...
Yes.
Today was another full day of soaking rain. After I picked up my daughter at 1 we kept busy drawing in the sunroom, building with Magnetic tiles from loving "aunts" and making a run to the drive-through for some donuts; Vanilla with rainbow sprinkles. But as four o'clock set in, and the rain continued to pelt mercilessly on our roof ...
“Paint the Rain”, a snapshot .
One category that I have not written much in as of late is Teacher Mama. That is because for this academic year my primary job is working in the home. I will resume teaching in June, and I am so excited to do so, but I do miss my kids and the special moments that they provide. Today, ...
Time, A Haiku.
Time, could you please slow? You're moving in fast motion I cannot keep up.
