Mom of Three: September 2014
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 24, 2014. I am no saint but I did think it was important to get him supplies to take care of his leg because he said he couldn't afford them. I went straight to Rite Aid and bought gauze, tape, self clinging wrap and antibiotic cream. He was right, it is expensive. It was about $22.00. The homeless situation in Portland is problematic.

Mom of Three: Bad Sleep in Ohio
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2014/07/bad-sleep-in-ohio.html
Thursday, July 10, 2014. Bad Sleep in Ohio. Last night was a terrible night for sleep. I had the weirdest dreams; unsettling, confusing, nothing worked, I couldn't find anything, I didn't know where my family was, people were constantly in my way.just general chaos. Mind you Bob and Sophia don't ski. The next thing I know I'm driving back down with just Sophia. I finally decide to just go up there. I ask Sophia where Ella is. She says, "I don't know!

Mom of Three: March 2015
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2015_03_01_archive.html
Tuesday, March 24, 2015. Bob and I have outlined chores for each kid every day. I can count on one hand the number of times they have fulfilled their full obligation of chores without being told. Basically, the cat is away….you get the picture. The kids have been pretty good about remembering their stuff for school. Coulter has only forgotten a couple times. In the past, I brought things to school for the kids at least once or twice per week. He’s sticking with his story. But…. A week later, I ...He repo...

Mom of Three: July 2013
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 8, 2013. Selling to our Psyche. I have noticed an alarming trend in the media lately. The “new” selling to our psyche is directed at a man’s worth and physical appearance. I have seen this coming for a long time but it has become very apparent in the past few months. Ordinarily I am not very good at remembering exact examples but this time I do have two for you. I saw the first one about a month ago. I was flipping through the channels and ABC was advertising “ Man Candy Mondays. It is what ...

Mom of Three: June 2014
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 28, 2014. We've Only Just Begun. We are off on our next adventure and I am grateful to say that Bob is in tow this time! The kids and I have been on quite a few road trips and Bob (God bless him) stayed behind to pay for our good time. It was an easy decision. We waited. When Bob took his current job he told them that he would be gone for a month this summer. They said it wouldn't be a problem and the held to their promise. He is with us! Coulter is another story. He has been really ne...

Mom of Three: Working Woman
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2015/03/working-woman.html
Sunday, March 22, 2015. I contemplated going back to work for a while. In late January I thought, “I should start looking for a job.”. Be careful what you put out into the universe! About two days later my friend Gary Boyer posted that he was looking for an assistant. He is a very successful mortgage broker. I PM’d him and said I was looking. A day later we had lunch, four days later I met with his assistants and within a week or so I was at a desk. I have learned a few things in my life. 5 – There...

Mom of Three: October 2013
http://realityofkids.blogspot.com/2013_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 28, 2013. I have so much to write about right now. I have been doing LOTS of PTA stuff and we have raised about $50,000 this year already. Amazing! First, I want to talk about equity between men and women. This is one that we can all basically understand . sort of. This one goes way back in our culture. There are other cultures where men and women are equal but ours is not one of them. Women have not been equal on any level. Numbers 3 and 8 are my personal favorites. Women don't have anyt...
