Musings from a Modern Mama: Well hello there
http://musingsfromamodernmama.blogspot.com/2012/03/well-hello-there.html
Musings from a Modern Mama. A very precarious balance. Tuesday, March 13, 2012. I believe a month just passed me by there. It's been a blur. This semester I have two very challenging courses that force me to use math-related brain cells that have been dormant for 15 years. (Did I ever really know what natural logarithm was? So I signed up for a marathon. I have fun four before, but it has been several years, and I honestly thought my achy, child-bearing hips couldn't take it again. I ran a tentat...My fe...

Musings of a Modern Mama: July 2008

Musings of a Modern Mama. Trying to stay sane as a SAHM. Tuesday, July 29, 2008. Posted by Modern Mama. Monday, July 28, 2008. We hit the dollar store this weekend. I have visited in the past here or there but never really thought much of it. Though that place is full of cheap crap for just a buck, it is a. If you have kids. That place even had wine glasses and candles and all sorts of things. I think when Q is older we can go there and let him pick out a few treats. It's probably also good for e...I dec...

Musings of a Modern Mama: September 2008
http://musingsofamodernmama.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Musings of a Modern Mama. Trying to stay sane as a SAHM. Monday, September 29, 2008. Sore, but happy. My half-marathon is over, and I am sitting at home enjoying the last bit of my night off. We have a friend in Lake Tahoe whose dad owns a resort. She got us a room in a motel they had recently bought, and it was an interesting set up. It was old with peeling paint and an ancient TV. There was a king bed and a cramped bathroom, but a giant. Was a little strange, but we're not too picky. I parked the car i...

Musings of a Modern Mama: MM's mini movie review
http://musingsofamodernmama.blogspot.com/2009/02/mms-mini-movie-review.html
Musings of a Modern Mama. Trying to stay sane as a SAHM. Friday, February 13, 2009. MM's mini movie review. I actually have the time and opportunity to see movies these days. So here is my take from the last two weeks:. Intriguing in parts and certainly easy to relate to. I fell asleep a few times, and found it depressing for a new stay-at-home mom. Was OK. For some reason on a Kate Winslet kick apparently. This was really. Good Very thought-provoking. Be prepared for some awkward nudity however.

Musings from a Modern Mama: Good kids
http://musingsfromamodernmama.blogspot.com/2011/12/good-kids.html
Musings from a Modern Mama. A very precarious balance. Sunday, December 18, 2011. I'd love for my kids to grow up to be rich, successful doctors. I'd be thrilled if they made it into the best colleges and earned big paychecks and were the smartest people around. But that's probably not going to happen (at least not entirely), and I don't have much control over it either. But one thing I. Have at least a say in is how they learn to treat other people. In October, I had an already-scheduled charity event f...

Musings from a Modern Mama: May 2011
http://musingsfromamodernmama.blogspot.com/2011_05_01_archive.html
Musings from a Modern Mama. A very precarious balance. Saturday, May 28, 2011. I had a bad week last week. Just horribly bad. And I pretty much let one person control that. I had worked so. Hard that week to make the class a success, and all this person can say is a comment on my appearance. Of course the comment was anonymous. So I spent a fair amount of time trying to figure out who it was or how I had wronged that person. It's a shame people can be such jerks. It's sad that women are more likely t...

Musings from a Modern Mama: November Favorites
http://musingsfromamodernmama.blogspot.com/2011/12/november-favorites.html
Musings from a Modern Mama. A very precarious balance. Tuesday, December 6, 2011. I was due for a phone upgrade in November and got my hands on then new iPhone 4S. Among the fun little treats with which I have been entertaining myself: Instagram. This app lets you take pictures and then easily apply filters to make yourself look like a master photographer. Witness the documentation of my Christmas card construction:. Watch out. It's addicting! Also is a great option for unique, useful gifts. Was going to...

Musings of a Modern Mama: Deflated
http://musingsofamodernmama.blogspot.com/2009/02/deflated.html
Musings of a Modern Mama. Trying to stay sane as a SAHM. Sunday, February 15, 2009. The smallest disappointments can crush a toddler and make a parent share the pain. We went to my sister's house for a few hours tonight to eat pizza and let all the boys play. They started an interesting game called Balloon Stomp which is fun in theory, but the concept just does not translate to toddlers. A word of advice: Balloon Stomps are not suitable for toddlers.

Musings from a Modern Mama: April 2011
http://musingsfromamodernmama.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Musings from a Modern Mama. A very precarious balance. Monday, April 25, 2011. I wish I had one of those blogs where I gush about my sweet, perfect children. But that would just be a bunch of lies. So instead, I offer another awkward story from my life. He was repeatedly going down the slide, when he decided to up the ante. He. Off the top, banging his head on the way down. "I'm OK," he assured me though I could tell his head hurt. That's what he always says when he does something bad. Thankfully, this w...
