Not All The Same.

May 14th, 2012 — Beliefs, Breastfeeding, Family, Homeschool, Kids, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home

Admittedly, I take longer to process my thoughts and feelings than some. The controversial Time Magazine cover came out last week, and at first, all I could do was seethe. No, not because there’s a breast on the cover. GASP. Not because there’s a non-baby attached to that breast. No, it was because I am… Continue reading →

Homebodies

December 13th, 2011 — Books, Family, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home, The Homestead

I’m not normally one to brag, but this is just too good not to share. Today, I left the house. With all 3 kids. Impressed? Well, maybe you’re not, but I am. I haven’t accomplished this feat in weeks. I’ve had some serious conditional agoraphobia. The condition being that I would only leave the house alone…. Continue reading →

Missing All That ‘Free’ Computer Time…

July 13th, 2011 — Family, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home

You know, back when I was gainfully employed at a full-time desk job? Yeah. These days, I have yet to find a rhythm that allows me to care for the kids and find any time to get on the computer most days. At least not before about 9 pm. And then work calls. Thus, Ye… Continue reading →

Days 2-3: Bad Then Better

June 15th, 2011 — Family, Motherhood, Shenanigans, Stay-At-Home

I’m not going to sugarcoat it. Yesterday effing sucked. I found myself questioning this WHOLE thing. What the hell was I thinking, assuming I could handle this staying at home with the (3) kids business? I was drowning, fast. We had to get out of the house and it had to be immediately. So I… Continue reading →

Day One

June 13th, 2011 — Motherhood, Shenanigans, Stay-At-Home

Note: started this post yesterday, but inexplicably remained incomplete until now. After the tragedy of seeing myself photographed Sunday, I went through a brief existential crisis in which I believed myself less capable of handling my first day at home with the kids. My life – ’twas flashing before my very eyes. “I can’t be… Continue reading →

Bliss, Mostly

June 11th, 2011 — Kids, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home

I hate to speak too soon, but I’m ridiculously happy to be free from my job. I’ve definitely had my concerns about how I will handle full time at-homeness with the kids, but when I walked out of that building for the last time on Friday, I couldn’t conceal the unadulterated glee on my face….

Future WAHM Seeks TFSS

May 31st, 2011 — Family, Motherhood, Stay-At-Home

For those of you who (inexplicably) can’t decrypt my made-up acronyms, that is: Future Work At Home Mom Seeks Tips For Staying Sane. In just 2 short weeks, I’ll be at home full time, with all 3 kids. I will make a point to work when I can, but obviously I’m going to need to… Continue reading →

Score. A Direct Hit.

May 20th, 2011 — Changes, Family, Stay-At-Home

(Name that movie. Floppy disks are pretty expensive…) After working toward the sometimes daunting goal – of being my own boss, working at home, full time – for something like 3 years, I’m now only 3 weeks away. Ahem, I don’t think you read that right. THREE WEEKS. In three weeks, I’ll be a free… Continue reading →
