Tomorrow is a big day, not only is it Fat Tuesday, or, Mardi Gras, it’s also Super Tuesday in many states in the United States where we hold primary elections to select delegates to conventions where each political party’s candidates for president are officially nominated.
No wonder nobody understands our political process.
Anyway, for working parents […]
Winter weather has started in some parts of the world, and, sometimes that means school is closed on a moment’s notice.
We are fortunate that, since my husband is a teacher, he is usually out of school when the kids are, but, every now and then if the bad weather starts during the school day, […]
Thanksgiving (American) is just around the corner, and, after that is the official opening of the holiday shopping season, Black Friday, where normal schedules and fiscal sense are abandoned.
Every year, I try to pace myself for Christmas shopping, and, it just doesn’t happen. Therefore, I will likely be in the huddled masses in the […]
Every now and then, you have a really, really late night, yet you have to go to work the next morning.
I had to go out of town yesterday, and, decided to make the trip back last night instead of staying in a hotel, and, I got home around 1:30 am to find my husband working […]
As kids get older, there are more and more activities for them to do. Many kids play sports in either recreational leagues or at school, and, nearly all teams are made possible by volunteer coaches such as parents.

You know, Sunday night wouldn’t be so bad if Monday wasn’t the next day.
No matter how much I try to start preparing early for the upcoming week, it seems like there’s always something that keeps me up on Sunday night, anyway.
I think the work day ought to begin around noon on Monday, or, I […]
I usually try to stay away from all the sensationalistic “Mommy Wars” stuff.
You know, “You work/stay home, you suck”, “Daycare is the devil”, “I’m busier than you are”, “Why did you even have kids if you’re just gonna let someone else raise them?” (My personal favorite. Note to whomever else is “raising my kids”: Busy […]
Nataly at Work-It Mom! shows us 10 Ways to Save 10 Minutes in Your Day, and, we can all use more time with the kids, or, at work.
However, if I had “unplugged my modem or wireless connection for 30 minutes while I worked”, I might not have discovered these tips.
“Addicted”? Why, whatever do […]
Nobody likes to schedule home repairs, especially when you have to enter between 8 and 12, or, 1-4 purgatory. But, when you work away from home, it becomes even more difficult to schedule these things.
While some places have repair hours later in the day, you’re at the mercy of others. I’ve learned that you […]
Every now and then I’ve been known to grumble about not being able to do anything in the evenings, especially during the week, except get ready for the next day.
I hear about people putting the little tykes to bed and enjoying adult time reading or watching a movie, or, even getting a little work done. […]
