Tuesday, February 17, 2015. Awkward Mom and Super Baby. Squeeze in your first birthday. Have you guys met my sister? She's kinda a big deal.". Those eyes may be new, but they know it all. Nothing keeps you from your beauty rest. You even take down intergalactic gangsters like it's no big thing. And you deserve far more than being squeezed in. I love you,. PS I am glad that I squeezed in writing this today, because tomorrow, all I want to do is get lost in the wise eyes of yours. You had school today and ...

Thursday, March 26, 2015. Awkward Mom vs. the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day. In no real order, the reasons that today is a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day:. 1 I have bronchitis.

And won't do anything but cry. 4 Awkward Dad isn't picking up his phone and it is going to voice mail. And voice mail is full. 5 It's rainy and cold. Again. Moms do crazy things? 10 And tha...

Awkward Mom: September 2014
http://awkwardmom-erin.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html
Thursday, September 25, 2014. Awkward Mom vs. Change. Seriously, don't change a thing. I don't think you are listening. I am speaking literally. Stop growing. I can't afford any more clothes and I like you this size. So, I don't know, start drinking coffee. Build a time machine. Learn to alter the time/space continuum. Whatever it takes, just get on it, OK? And with that in mind, I repeat; DON'T CHANGE. Don't change. The world needs your brave sweetness and your bold acceptance. I love you,. The thing is...

January | 2014 | Karen's Cracked Cup
https://mycrackedcup.wordpress.com/2014/01
Karen's Cracked Cup. The Road You Want to Take. The last time I was completely happy behind the wheel? It would have to have been when I was about four years old and the wheel was attached to a Dukes of Hazzard dashboard. My summer as a seventeen-year-old-driver-in-training was the worst of my life. Again, not an exaggeration. Was not enough to distract me from my driver’s training depression. My driving instructor, Mr. Southwell, thought I would be a good student. He explained that kids who don&...Even ...

Karen's Cracked Cup. Something to Tell You. On Audrey’s first day of Kindergarten, I took the photo below. On Audrey’s first day of first grade, I took the photo below. And the night before Audrey’s first day of second grade, realizing we hadn’t made a cutesy poster, I shot up in bed with an, “Oh, crap! The year that Audrey turned 6, Jack turned 4, and Andrew turned 2, I wrote each one of them a special birthday poem. I love that you ask questions like this: “Which do you like better? I love that even wh...

Thursday, January 29, 2015. Awkward Mom vs. The Potential Move. So, yeah, where have I been? Haven't been around here, that's for sure. Where have I been? Good question. Not really sure. Been busier than normal and normal is pretty busy. Super Preschooler had a birthday. We celebrated it on the road, visiting Awkward Grandma and Grandpa and going to the first of Awkward Dad's many upcoming job interviews. Oh yes, that's where I've been! Physically and mentally and in-the-middle-of-the-nightally. Oh, and ...

Enough | Karen's Cracked Cup
https://mycrackedcup.wordpress.com/2015/07/08/enough
Karen's Cracked Cup. When I learned about the dark sky park, I became uncharacteristically assertive. I want to go there. I want to go there. This. Summer. We pretended we didn’t hear Jack’s pleas to go home. The dark walk through the woods to the lake shore. A little unnerving, but turning around 5 minutes in wasn’t something the rest of us were willing to consider, so we pressed on, thankful Sean had remembered flashlights. We sat down in a tight formation. We had come almost 300 miles for this. Remark...

Awkward Mom: August 2014
http://awkwardmom-erin.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
Tuesday, August 26, 2014. Awkward Mom vs. Summer Binge. I don't care if you're tired; get in the van! It's your last week of summer! Then, I dissolve into tears, usually on the front lawn, for all the neighbors to enjoy. Super Kindergartner, ever thoughtful, will bring me a Freezie-Pop and we will sit out there and watch cars until I calm down. Because you see, I'm trying to carry all the legos. Have you ever tried to carry all the legos, Readers? Stop carrying all the legos. It never ends well! Let's wo...
