No running out the door and eating in the car. It’s our time to be More About: Family , Games , Thirteen , Award , Thursday

What Curse Mommy?
2007-10-29 16:40:00 The Red Sox have won the World Series for the second time in four years! The last time was in 2004. Before that, well, there was a little bit more of a gap between World Series wins. 86 years to be exact. Up until 2004, generations of Red Sox fans waited almost nine decades to see what my nine-year-old Red Sox fan has seen twice in her lifetime already!

Walking Moon: The Scary Story
2007-10-23 15:34:00 This is the first in a three post series about what went wrong at Girl Scout camp this year! I couldn't fit it all in one post! Two of my girls are in Girl Scouts, but only Sweet Angel gets to sleep overnight at the annual Girl Scout Encampment weekend. This is not because Sweet Angel is a Junior Girl Scout, but because Feisty Girl's troop is lame, overly cautious. Frankly, I hate camping, but More About: Story , Moon , Scary , Walking

The Best Thing About Having a Tween
2007-10-16 15:05:00 I always love participating in MamaBlogga's Group Writing Project. This month's theme was "The Best Thing s About This Age."

But when my first born started moving out of the baby phase, I was worried. Would I

I'm SO Pissed!
2007-10-09 15:13:00 I'm so pissed! Literally! Last week I saw the neighbor's dog piss on our mailbox. I immediately went outside and said to the teenaged girl walking the dog "Would you PLEASE not let him do that!" (This girl is not our neighbor's daughter and I honestly don't know why she's living there, but I figured if she's letting the dog piss on our property she can take responsibility for it.)

2007-09-18 16:07:00 Say Goodbye to Super Pooper . . . Hello Turbo Tot! Yes, the day has come to change my baby's blog name.

A World of Difference
More articles from this author:2007-05-17 20:10:00 Two months ago I didn’t even know what a blog was. I was bidding on freelance writing projects and one of the employers required applicants to set up a blog account. A what account? Is that like PayPal? So I went to blogger.com as the job posting directed. Although I didn’t sail across the ocean in a tall ship, or rocket into the final frontier, I knew I had a discovered a whole new world. Well, new to me at least. Since then, my life has not been the same. I used to go to bed around 10:00 p.m. Now my husband calls from the family room as he hears me clicking on the keyboard after midnight, “Honey, do you know what time it is?” I used to say, “I don’t know anything about computers.” Now I know how to upload photographs, create a link and edit HTML code. I used to say, “I don’t see what the big deal is about the internet.” Now I have to endure the good-natured teasing I frequently get from my husband when I enthusiastically share something from the interne...
