Walking the Plank: No more Minivan Mama
http://thepiratemommy.blogspot.com/2014/05/no-more-minivan-mama.html
Better Parenting through rum and bad language since 1999. Wednesday, May 28, 2014. No more Minivan Mama. We made the 16-hour drive to Ohio, our family, grandparents, and an uncle all comfortably marveling over the space, the ease, the fact that you could hook the XBox up to the DVD player and play Madden 05 while crusing along I-70 at 75mph. Technology! It wasn't so bad. But it was ours. through thick and through thin, it was ours. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). This is Not the Mom You're Looking For.

Walking the Plank: July 2013
http://thepiratemommy.blogspot.com/2013_07_01_archive.html
Better Parenting through rum and bad language since 1999. Tuesday, July 23, 2013. The Family that Feuds together. Who's Ready To Play? My family doesn't get a lot of "downtime", time that isn't scripted out, where we can do anything we want or nothing at all. Between football practice, baseball practice, music lessons, tutoring, tai chi for cats. it just doesn't happen all that often. So when the opportunity DOES arrive, you'd better believe my butt is finding it's way into a recliner. That's a lot of ch...

Walking the Plank: March 2014
http://thepiratemommy.blogspot.com/2014_03_01_archive.html
Better Parenting through rum and bad language since 1999. Tuesday, March 25, 2014. Hold Me Closer, Tony Danza. It's that time of year again, which in our house means baseball season. For the next four months my laundry will never be done, my car interior will sport a persistant cover of infield dirt and sunflower seed shells, and I will find cups in the oddest and most disconcerting of places. And by cups I do NOT mean beverage containers. It was so cute. he was so excited! My kids. okay, my kids are...

Walking the Plank: Krewe of Lego
http://thepiratemommy.blogspot.com/2014/03/krewe-of-lego.html
Better Parenting through rum and bad language since 1999. Saturday, March 1, 2014. It's no secret that I love New Orleans, especially during Carnival season. I love the sights, the sounds, the throws,the crowds, and the whole crazy atmosphere. One of my bucket list items is to march in a parade. And my sorta-secret wish is to ride with the Krewe of Muses someday. I want to glitter shoes and toss them to the crowd. I am a BEAST with a bottle of glue and a vat of glitter. My Life In Legos: Mardi Gras Muses.

Daddy’s last words
http://oursmallmoments.com/daddys-last-words
Daddy’s last words. September 11, 2013. The last time Scott spoke to me was a month ago yesterday. Sadly, I don’t remember the last thing his voice said to me. I don’t remember because it was a crazy, chaotic weekend with little sleep and lots of decisions. Mainly, I don’t remember, because the last time he was able to speak to me, I didn’t KNOW it would be the LAST TIME. Right before the surgery, when Scott was still very lucid, he looked at me many times and flashed, ” I LOVE YOU.” I fl...Seconds befor...

Walking the Plank: My Chemical Warfare
http://thepiratemommy.blogspot.com/2014/08/my-chemical-warfare.html
Better Parenting through rum and bad language since 1999. Tuesday, August 5, 2014. With Summer drawing to an end, most mornings at our house begin the same, a pile of warm, sleepy bodies tangled up like puppies as we try and decide what we're doing with the day. "Swimming? Too crowded." "Library? I haven't finished my books yet." "Back to school shopping? Tortured glare*." Yesterday, however, was different. Mom, my head itches." You heard the ominous music, too, didn't you? I bagged every pillow, every s...

The Crafty Insomniac: Again??
http://thecraftyinsomniac.blogspot.com/2014/02/again.html
Life happens, and it's messy! What happens when a wife and mom of one and displaced former medical biller tries to start her own papercrafting business? Pretty much nothing that lives up to how it plays out in her Grand Scheme, a.k.a., imagination. Chalk it up to Murphy's Law. Saturday, February 22, 2014. Yes, friends, it's that time again. Time for me to lose my mind. It's Girl Scout Cookie Time! Booth sales start in three weeks. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). I'm a Girl Scout leader (Me?
