The Mommasaurus: September 2012
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2012_09_01_archive.html
Friday, September 14, 2012. Fake it til you make it? And then, with a ring of the phone, he was in. And I was immediately and irreversibly ELATED. All the uncertainty melted away. It was the Right Thing for him, for us. And suddenly, being at home was the Right Thing for him, for us - FOR ME. Yeah For me, too. Believe me, I'm just as surprised as you are. WHAT IS SHE DOING OUT HERE ON A WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON? I no longer feel like an imposter in my own life, which is just so liberating. As long summer ...

The Mommasaurus: March 2013
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. On what becomes memories. My mom played Barry Manilow and Neil Diamond in the car a lot when I was little. I still know all the words to just about every Manilow song there is, and I can sing along to the entire soundtrack of The Jazz Singer. In some sad, sick way, I'm sort of proud of this. And while some things still seem so far away. I love the way my memory calls them back to me when I need them. Or (most likely) something that I'm not even considering? Sunday, March 24, 2013.

The Mommasaurus: That was then, this is now.
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/03/that-was-then-this-is-now.html
Sunday, March 24, 2013. That was then, this is now. Today I am 34. If you told me ten years ago that on my 34th birthday, I would quite happily spend my day attending Palm Sunday services, watching Peter Pan with my husband and kids, and then going roller skating with the Daisy troop I lead - I would have laughed so, so hard. That's okay though. I just didn't know. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Seeking hope, joy, and peace in a world that does its best to hide it from us. View my complete profile.

The Mommasaurus: January 2013
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013_01_01_archive.html
Friday, January 11, 2013. So give me my chance, and give me my wings. And don't make me think about everyday things. To someone who is very. Extraordinary", from Pippin. She had it all figured out. She was going to have it all, and go everywhere, and do everything. She had it all, or very close to it anyway. And she was miserable. Morning glow, morning glow. Starts to glimmer when you know. Winds of change are set to blow. And sweep this whole land through. Morning glow is long past due. Every other time...

The Mommasaurus: February 2013
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013_02_01_archive.html
Thursday, February 14, 2013. Slipping through my fingers. I walked across an empty land. I knew the pathway like the back of my hand. I felt the earth beneath my feet. Sat by the river and it made me complete. Oh simple thing, where have you gone? I'm getting old and I need something to rely on. So tell me when you're gonna let me in. I'm getting tired and I need somewhere to begin. I came across a fallen tree. I felt the branches of it looking at me. Is this the place we used to love? So why don't we go?

The Mommasaurus: The more things change, the more they stay the same.
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/05/the-more-things-change-more-they-stay.html
Monday, May 6, 2013. The more things change, the more they stay the same. Two years ago today was my last day as a fixture in the world of working adults. I've waxed poetic on plenty of the ways my life is different now that I'm with the kids full time, so in honor of my personal independence day I thought I'd change things up a little and point out some of the ways things haven't really changed at all. Now I make no money because nobody pays stay at home moms to just be moms! Turns out, it's basically t...

The Mommasaurus: Retro Post: Sleeping Beauty's Puppy
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/04/retro-post-sleeping-beautys-puppy.html
Wednesday, April 10, 2013. Retro Post: Sleeping Beauty's Puppy. I originally wrote this on May 12, 2010, shortly after we returned from a trip to Walt Disney World. Elizabeth was almost four years old. S: L, what was your favorite part of Disney World? L: Meeting the princesses! And I got to be a princess! Lizzie and I play princesses. I'm Sleeping Beauty and Lizzie is Sleeping Beauty's puppy! Can I tell you with some shame that my heart stopped during that conversation? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

The Mommasaurus: June 2012
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2012_06_01_archive.html
Wednesday, June 13, 2012. Jake and Jake and the Neverland Pirates. So, on Monday we were at Target. Target had a massive display of toys from the Disney Junior show Jake and the Neverland Pirates. Which both my kids love, but Jacob REALLY loves. He was beside himself with excitement over Jake. Action figures, and most of all, a big Jake. Pirate ship. Never mind that he already HAS a large toy pirate ship. THIS pirate ship is a JAKE. Pirate ship. And Tic Toc Crock pops out of it! Wednesday, June 6, 2012.

The Mommasaurus: August 2012
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2012_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 27, 2012. The Oak Tree and the Cypress. Seven years ago today I married this man:. In a lovely little ceremony in a conference room of a Radisson in Bloomfield Hills. We were blessed to be surrounded by most of our favorite people in the world. My aunt performed the ceremony, which included readings from the Song of Solomon and Khalil Gibran's "The Prophet." None of the drama leading up to the wedding (isn't there always drama leading up to a wedding? Give your hearts, but not into each ot...

The Mommasaurus: Fat Mom Running
http://themommasaurus.blogspot.com/2013/04/fat-mom-running.html
Tuesday, April 16, 2013. Well not really running. Mostly walking, punctuated with pathetically slow jogging. For years, I have been telling myself that I need to get in some sort of shape (besides round) and that the way to begin doing that is to commit to a 5K. I've never been able to pull the trigger, though - until now. Getting ready for the Color Run ("The Happiest 5K on the Planet! Who am I kidding, seriously? I just want to be healthy, for them. For him. And maybe, for me. April 16, 2013 at 8:06 PM.
