My son totally threw me under the bus

My son totally threw me under the bus

That’s my kid tossing me under the bus. They say children begin to identify with their same-sex parent somewhere around the ages of 5 to 7.  Personally, I’ve been waiting for this day.  As the SAH/WAH Mom I’ve been the primary caregiver and it’s about darn time The Hubs should have to navigate the inquiry […]

It Takes a Village to Raise a Mother

August 26, 2013 By Vicky 16 Comments

It Takes a Village to Raise a Mother

As I sat at the kidney shaped table during parent-teacher conferences, two questions came to mind. The first: Does my child’s entire ass actually fit on this teeny, tiny chair that will barely hold one of my cheeks? The second: Who on earth is this woman talking about because it can not be my child. […]

6 Things I Learned This Summer

6 Things I Learned This Summer

Photo Credit 13 days. Thirteen days.  Thir.teen.days.  Say it with me people, “13 days!” My children go back to school in 13 days.  If you want to get really specific, you can look at it this way: Tomorrow’s Thursday already and the week they go back to school on a Wednesday.  So technically speaking, I […]

7 Reasons I’m Ready for Summer to be Over

7 Reasons I’m Ready for Summer to be Over

  7 Reasons I’m Ready for Summer to be Over   I have wonderful memories of summer.  Family vacations, watching “CHiPS” and “The Love Boat” in the morning, riding my bike out front with my neighborhood friends.  My fondest memory is the year my parents picked us up on the last day, saying we were […]

Milestones that don’t make The Baby Book

Milestones that don’t make The Baby Book

This calendar was great because it made documenting stuff easier. Of course it also made me a total spaz as I wondered why my kid wasn’t doing many of them! (Never mind the fact that he was only 4 weeks old.) Childhood milestones are the highlight of early motherhood.  For me, they were the proverbial pat […]

Is It Ever OK for Mom to Lie?

April 10, 2013 By Vicky 35 Comments

Is It Ever OK for Mom to Lie?

At times I am 100% confident that I am as smart as I ever was. My Master’s Degree-earning brain is as sharp. My problem solving skills lightning-quick. My ability to multitask Olympic gold medal worthy. And then there are the other times… Those that remind me my brain is dying a slow and painful death. I […]

My kids are a couple of TALKBLOCKERS!

February 6, 2013 By Vicky 38 Comments

My kids are a couple of TALKBLOCKERS!

There’s a language that exists among mothers that desperately needs to be studied by both linguists and social archaeologists.  I believe it could be the basis of a cultural revolution of epic proportions. Better yet, it is something the military should look into.  Thousands of Special Ops Soldiers could become even more, er, special if […]

Street Smart vs. Book Smart

November 9, 2012 By Vicky 3 Comments

Street Smart vs. Book Smart

Sometimes I worry about my kids.  I don’t mean “worry” in the traditional sense.  It’s not so much the everyday worries like “There are evil people in the world” or “What if my kid gets sick or injured?”  My worries aren’t based in any sort of fear of the unknown. Simply put my fear stems […]

The Perpetual Tuesday…

June 10, 2009 By Vicky 2 Comments

Isn’t it funny how each day of the week seems to have a reputation of sorts? We say that, although Monday can be a drag, we are often still on the “high” of the weekend. Wednesday is hump day. Hump day is great! If we’ve made it to Wednesday we are half way to the […]
