perfectly imperfect: September 2014
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Wednesday, September 10, 2014. Not my best parenting moment. Something about Halloween brings out the 12-year-old boy in me. I get all giddy and prank-y. A better, fancier word (appropriate for 40-year-olds) would be: macabre. Or maybe I never grew out of my short-lived goth phase? I felt like the worst parent EVER. It took 15 minutes to get everyone calmed down. Way to go, Mom. Traumatize your 3-year-old with a skeleton on the toilet. That he just began using. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Even if no one ...

perfectly imperfect: June 2013
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2013_06_01_archive.html
Sunday, June 30, 2013. Tuesday, June 25, 2013. Good-bye cheese, my old friend. I want to be friends with food again. Stop feeling guilty. Bargaining. Remember when eating was fun? I was talking to my sister-in-law this week about my eating habits as a teenager. Try to remember the time when you ate what sounded good. I’m pretty sure that I ate French fries and soft-serve ice-cream most days of my middle-school career. Fast-food every day of high-school? Yep Giant Dr. Peppers from 7-11? I’ve long si...

perfectly imperfect: incriminating evidence
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2014/03/incriminating-evidence.html
Friday, March 21, 2014. So, you know you had a really good time on your vacation when you get the photos back from Walgreens… Yes, I just said that I got photos from WALGREENS. Remember when you/me/everyone used to do that? And you waited, in suspense, for your precious roll of film? Well, I’m just really cool and retro like that. Actually, I bought a cheap, underwater camera to take photos on an excursion in the Dominican Republic last November. Wonder what is on the film? In my defense, it was. My last...

Thursday, September 12, 2013. My husband and I don’t get to go out very often. When you are a parent of young children you are often inside your house by the time it gets dark. There are times when I am. Driving at night because it happens so rarely. It’s like I need to relearn how to do it. It reminds me of the reaction 17-month-old S had when we drove around in December looking at Christmas lights. It was a mix of awe and terror. He would squeal, point, and scream, “light!

perfectly imperfect: Ode to Joy
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2014/04/ode-to-joy.html
Monday, April 21, 2014. Here is our oldest son (aka the Pied Piper) rocking his “black-belt” recorder test. If you do not know what a recorder is, let me explain: it’s this skinny plastic tube that makes unbearable noise early in the morning after you hear, “Dang it! I forgot to practice ‘Amazing Grace’! 8221; B and I are singing our own ‘Ode to Joy’ now that his training is complete. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Follow me by e-mail. I need to vent.

perfectly imperfect: May 2015
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 13, 2015. 8220;I cannot wait to think my own thoughts.”. Author and blogger, Jen Hatmaker ( http:/ jenhatmaker.com/blog.htm. Coined this phrase, and when I ran across it the first time, I thought, “Good God, she understands my soul.” How many of us parents cannot finish a thought without an interruption? And if you cannot start and finish a single linear thought, how on earth are we supposed to complete real, grown-up tasks? Does conversation mean love to them? It’s (usually) not the.

perfectly imperfect: July 2015
http://allperfectlyimperfect.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
Thursday, July 23, 2015. For those who have never experienced a migraine (or aren’t sure if their headaches are considered migraines), let me describe my experience in this realm. If nothing else, I hope that my familiarity with this subject will help someone who suffers with migraine and believes that she just needs to “tough it out.”. Don’t tough it out. 8211; there are medications that may help turn your grayest sky into blue. Migraines are different than other headaches (for me) because:. I go into &...
