I am Zombie Mom. No, it’s not my Halloween costume for this weekend, it’s my current state of being. As a parent we all go through periods of little sleep, and when you have kids and things go wrong, you often find when it rains it pours. Well, it’s been like biblical flooding the last […]

I watch way too much Dateline, 20/20 and 48 Hours Mysteries. I also read the paper and watch the news daily which aides in my paranoia. I trust very few people outside my family to watch and care for my kids. I receive email notifications from the State of Delaware when a sex offender moves […]

I welcome Fridays every week like a friend who I haven’t seen in years. If someone, someday tells me I have seven days left to live, I hope it feels as long as my week’s do now. I usually start my week wearing freshly done laundry, slightly rejuvenated from the weekend, looking almost human, and […]

Pretty freaking special, huh? Well, that’s not it. This October is my every other October. Six Octobers ago I became pregnant with […]

Earlier this week, I told you about my horrible Monday which included three sick kids, monsoon rains, getting locked outside in the pouring rain, and falling down a window well trying to get back into the house. This whole week has been a blur to be honest. My husband has been in Arizona all week, […]

Did you eve feel like you were outside yourself? Like you were going through the motions, but not totally there? I was having a day like that Monday. I didn’t sleep well Sunday night, both boys were up at various times through the night, my husband was traveling early Monday morning, and I feel like […]
