You Can't...
You can’t please all of the people all of the time, but there are some people you can’t please ANY of the time!!
I coach swimming, and I love my job. Right now I coach a summer league team (short season, only about seven weeks) and I coach for one of the local high schools. I think I am a good coach. I have a lot of experience, I have children of my own and I think the whole mom vibe works well...

My Life as a Housewife!
You know, there was a time I thought I would be truly offended to be termed a “housewife.” The very word brings to mind pictures of June Cleaver vaccuming in her starched pinafore and pearls, making dinner from scratch and still having time to meet Ward at the door with a neat martini. But let’s take a look at the reality-I have a beautiful house (pretty big too), four boys that...

POWER!!!
Power isn’t just about who has more money, or who is the most physically imposing, no what I am talking about here is what holds power over us. What is the strongest emotion (feeling) out there? (we could also say situation) I’ll tell ya what it is…it’s fear. Now, don’t laugh (though I know my husband will) but I was watching Oprah the other day, and Melissa Etheridge was on the show (I think it...

Laundry
The Never Ending Quest for a Clean Laundry Room!!!
I have four boys, whom I love dearly, but between them, three dogs, two tanks of fish, a gecko, my husband and I the laundry never stops! I swear there are days it actually reproduces and taunts me. It isn’t enough that occasionally the washing machine, or maybe it’s the dryer who knows, eats one sock, but now the washing machine is constantly...

Long Time No Write!!!
It has been awhile, although, I always say that, make promises to write more, and then forget to do anything for 3 months! Should I bother making another ‘promise?’
Anyways, I have taken two semesters of school as of right now. Both semester’s went very well, although I have to take math now. College Math for dummies I told my husband. He was so sweet; tried to tell me not to worry about it, that...

Arguing
aka…when to smack the crap out of someone OK…not a cool subject blurb I know, but you can’t tell me there aren’t times when you don’t want to do just that.
I’ll start with my husband…see my previous post. I adore the man, and I can’t deny that, but there are still days when I just want to smack him.
Same with my kids…I stay home with them, and I try to be patient, I really do, but the constant...

My life with 4 boys
Yes, I have four boys. Yep, four boys. I am the proud mother of four boys. Let me tell you a bit about them:
C is my oldest. He will be eleven in about 3 months. Eleven going on 17. I am guessing it is about this age that boys start to ‘discover’ themselves. By that I just mean he turns into your typical preteen and rolls his eyes at just about everything I say. He wants a cell phone, can’t...

My husband is having an affair!!!
Yes, you read that right…R is cheating on me. His mistress..I don’t know a Dell maybe, no wait It says MultiSync on here…is that a brand? I don’t know…either way, I must compete with the World Wide Web, with coding, and the myriad other things my husband farts around with on his computer. I have had four kids…and while I think I look ok for squeezing four human beings out, I am no computer...

R is my husband
We have been married for almost five and a half years. This December will be our sixth year anniversary. Six wonderful, wild and sometimes hard years, but not once did I ever have doubts about him.
Two things for this entry:
One-You often hear people say, Yeah…I have two kids-three if you count my husband!” Like that is a humorous thing to put out there. Did you marry a minor? And if not, why do...

The boys... or my little ones
My little ones…but don’t tell them I call them that. I like to think of them as my little ones, truth be told my oldest is almost as tall as I am and the rest of them will no doubt get there sooner than I would like. My youngest will be one in about ten days, and I find myself wrestling with my feelings of having another child. My husband is adamently against it, though I know should I become...

Today is a... good? day
today is a….day, how’s that? You know, today or rather yesterday as I am writing this early Tuesday morning, has been a pretty good day. I was reading an article that says, “You, meaning me of course, choose to be happy or not.” And it struck me, why wouldn’t I be happy? My husband and my boys are all healthy, I am healthy, we have a good marriage, a wonderful home, my husband has a job he likes...

Marriage
First, please excuse any misspellings, between this new keyboard and my fake nails, I might have a tough time. That said, Marriage, could it be anymore fun. I adore my husband, I do…I love the man more everyday. Yes, sounds cliched, but I have found it true. There are days when he will do something, sweet or kind with one of our sons and my heart skips a beat. BUT, I have also discovered that the...

Happiness
Why I am choosing to be happy… I read recently in a magazine that happiness or being happy is a choice that YOU make. And here I thought it depended on how much money you had, or how much you were loved, or what you owned or had accomplished….
After reading that article, I started to think. Well, we aren’t rich, but we certainly aren’t poor. Our kids have a roof over their head (a beautiful roof...
