A single mom sharing her opinions on everything from products, movies, life in the dating scene, motherhood, and work while trying to find the humor in it all.
Why can’t kids come with instruction manuals? The older my son gets, the more parenting #fails I have. You would think that by now, I would have this parenting thing down pat. I’ve been doing it for 10 years after all. Maybe its just a sign of my own old age that I’m becoming more [...]
I thought there would be by some miracle that I wouldn’t have to endure this pain. What is this pain that I speak of you may ask. The recorder. A musical “instrument” given to elementary school students to torture parents teach them who knows what about music. I had one when I was in 3rd [...]
Why can’t my son just get up in the morning like a normal my-life-is-full-of-rainbows-and-unicorns-and-cotton-candy person? Why must he instead wake up like a rabie-infected-lion-on-the-prowl-for-food-and-you-look-like-a-big-juicy-Tbone-steak?? When I try to wake him up you would think he was some angry at the world punk teenager. He screams at me. Tells me no. Thrashes around in his bed [...]
It has been a constant struggle to get Hunter to read. He does not like it one bit. He’s supposed to read for 20 minutes every day as part of his homework assignment and every day you would think I was trying to cut off his arm. He fights me on it. He actually ends [...]
I am now breathing a HUGE sigh of relief. Hunters surgery is over! Everything went well and smooth. The doc said he had a small hernia hole but there was a lot of fat that poked through and that him having surgery was the best call. That made me feel better- i did the right [...]
Remember how I got a new job at the very beginning of the year?? Well not only am I still super happy there (I’ve already gotten a raise!!!) but it has significantly impacted Hunter. I knew it would be better for the both of us. I even mentioned it in my post letting you all [...]
About Hunter’s surgery. And I work in surgery. This is what I do- everyday! It’s still 2 1/2 weeks away but ever since I booked the surgery last week, i have had nightmares every night. And not necessarily surgery related either. Just random nightmares about Hunter. Deep down I think I am extremely anxious and [...]
Yesterday we found out that Hunter needs to have surgery. He has an epigastric hernia. When I pointed out the small bulge just an inch above his belly button to his pediatrician, he told me it was diastasis recti and it would go away on its own. Lucky for me and Hunter I work in [...]
Aah, the dreaded conversation that most parents stress over. Well I’m there. Hunter is 9 and is considered a tween. Now I know they teach sex ed in like 5th or 6th grade and he’s only in 3rd right now, but I’d like for him to hear it from me first. We’ve always had a [...]
