Glimpses of the Former Me

Before I started working full time, I was the queen of multi-tasking and volunteering and being all around involved….in everything.
I was very active in the PTO, Vice President to be exact, I was at the school constantly to volunteer for everything and anything, I was the team mom for Chuckie’s football team, I was running around [...]



Love and Basketball

I love that movie, by the way.  If you haven’t seen it, I highly recommend it. 
Anyway, Chuckie is into his basketball season and he is doing okay.  Not as well as last year but it is still early on and he has a different coach.  One that isn’t as aggressive as last year. 
He had a basketball [...]



The White Stuff

During December, we were getting some cold days and some unseasonably warm days.  I was liking the warm days but at the same time, I was starting to miss the snow that we usually have. 
Growing up in this area (Western PA) you get accustomed to having snow in the winter, along with the other three [...]



Happiest Holiday Season in Years

I am so ready for Christmas.  I don’t mean that I am ready for it all to be over.  Usually, that is how I feel every year around this time.  I am usually so stressed out about how I am going to finish it all and how I am going to have gifts for everyone [...]



Curveball

I’m done whining, I really am!
After complaining that daycare was taking my paychecks away from me, I decided to look in the paper for any daycare or childcare providers that might be a little less expensive to help us out.  I didn’t find anything but I did see an ad for a daycare hiring a full [...]



Good Things!

I got a call this morning that is going to change our lives.  I got the job that I was hoping to get!  I will be starting on Monday morning!  I also told them that I cannot work next Friday due to our plans to go to Kennywood and he was fine with that!!  My current [...]



A move in the right direction

I have been looking for a job for many months.  I have applied several places, had interviews and even had one place call to say they wanted to hire me.  Unfortunately, that company…the daycare…hasn’t called back.  I drive past there every so often and I don’t think they had a very good enrollment because there [...]



Seriously time, slow down!

Is it just me or is time going by too quickly this summer?!  How in the heck are we at the end of June already?! 
We haven’t done much so far this summer because we have been busy or the days just slip by. 
We have a day at Kennywood planned with some friends.  We are taking [...]



The new generation

Today is the last day of school for my kids and they are excited.  I guess I really am too.  Despite my whining that they will be whining…hehe! 
This morning before school, I was telling the kids that they should give their classmates their email addresses so they can keep in touch over the summer.  Yes, [...]



Something New

Well, since I am back from vacation, I guess I will do a post about something other than the beach.   We are back in the routine of everyday life now.  The kids now have only four days of school left after today.  I have mixed feelings about this as it means we don’t have [...]
