“Mommy, I’m having a bad hair day.” (I never say that. Not sure where she learned it.) Mama: Diva, why do you keep ripping the arms & legs off your little dollies & sprinkling them on my bed? The Diva: Because I don’t like them. So I said “No, no, no.” Mama: What are you [...]

My Big Bro sent me the link for this one…he must be getting all soft in his old age!! No, seriously, he has always had a soft spot for kids. And being that he is a self~proclaimed “Right Wing Nut Job“, add a soldier & Christmas to the mix & he is just a moosh! [...]

Ramblings…My daughter keeps gleefully ripping the heads & arms off her Polly Pockets~esque dolls, then showing me how they go back on…well almost always go back on anyway. Does this mean she is going to be a famous doctor or scientist? Or does it mean that she is destined for intense, lengthy psychotherapy (on top [...]
My Father~In~Law (who isn’t always as bad as the rest of the In~Laws & had actually been pretty good to me up to now ) called last night to let us know that the MIL was going in today for some minor surgery (a new “port” is being grafted into her arm for her Dialysis). [...]

So I am a little behind on the entries for this contest, so just bear with me (I’ve got 8 of these to make up!). I’ve been busy doing…well I don’t really know what I have been doing. The time & days are just flying by for me lately. Where I live, it is just [...]
Yesterday afternoon, my daughter amazed me once again. She didn’t accomplish any incredible feats or master a foreign language. No, she discovered prismatic light. As the late afternoon sun shone through the bathroom window & bounced off the mirror, it produced a small, full prism of color on Ro‘s bedroom door. She was enchanted. When [...]
Yesterday we went to visit the dreaded In-Laws. My Mother-In-Law is very ill with complications from diabetes, so we are visiting more often for that reason only. This is not something I truly look forward to, considering the bad blood between my Mother-In-Law, Sister-In-Law & myself. My crime? I fell in love with her son/her [...]
My daughter, we’ll call her “Houdina”, has the innate ability to make all child safety equipment non-functional. She can make this look like this. And she can make this look like this. And no, she didn’t learn how to use the child proofing items. No, something much, much better than that. She learned how to [...]

So here is how my day went and why I feel like the world’s worst mother: I was up late last night searching the world wide web for an at home job, so I didn’t get to bed until right around sunrise. Leave it to Baby Roca to pick today to wake up early. She [...]

First, let me say that I love my daughter more than my own life. I am awed by her every day. She is truly a miracle. I was supposed to be infertile (obviously not!) and had almost given up on ever being a mother to anyone or anything except my Demon Possessed Cat (more on [...]
