I'm not a cool mom.

Yesterday was such a rainy day. I had to go to Jane's elementary school to fill out some paper work.

*sidenote*I am no longer homeschooling Mary due to some circumstances that came up! But, since we moved into a new neighborhood, being able to send her to this elementary was a blessing in disguise!**

Any who, as we were walking out of the school building, we were asked if we wanted to say Hello to Jane, since she was in the cafeteria eating lunch. Of course mommy wanted to say HI to her kindergartner!! So, I lugged the stroller, Emerson, and Mary into the cafeteria to see her.
Jane to my surprise didn't see us walk in, so I snuck behind her and tapped her shoulder. She turned around.

You would have thought the child was looking at a ghost. She quickly turned back around looking into her lunch box with a serious face and said "what are you doing here?"
I told her I was filling papers out in the office and she replied just as serious "oh okay, just go."
Of course me, being the mommy I am, proceeded to say "HI JANE'S CLASS!!" They all waved back enthusiastically while Jane sunk into her lunchbox even farther!
I decided I tortured my daughter enough and kissed her on the cheek, whispered love you and walked away.
Once we were out of the lunch room I started laughing hysterically because at that moment of disgust in Jane's eyes, I was no longer cool and I was okay with it, along with the fact that I found it beyond amusing!

P.S. I am so sorry mom for all the times I thought you were so uncool, but for the record I love that you are so uncool now!

Sometimes its more than just a roof.

 12/13/2022 When we send texts, make calls, answer emails, etc.  We think what a miniscule interaction it is to us and the person on the other end of the line.  The simple error of a calling someone the wrong name, is not simple.  The assumption that this wrong name doesn't hold so many emotions, good bad and ugly. I have always been lucky enough to be happy with my name.  I am lucky enough to be happy with the gender I was assigned at birth. I am lucky enough to be in a safe relationship. I am lucky enough.      Today, I asked someone if they wanted any information about a product my company is offering to current and previous customers. Simple customer service, right?      The person at the other end of the simple text I sent, was covered with emotions of trauma and experiences I will never know or understand. I would've never known. I am so glad they addressed it. I was speaking to someone and addressing them by their abusers nam...

Happy Valentines Day! and some tips too

Just some ideas for a fantastic and budget friendly Valentines Day! 1. Buy roses at the grocery store instead of a florist. They make great arrangements for great prices! 2. Order a heart shaped pizza from Donatos . I heard Papa Johns is doing the same thing this year!! Take your pick, the hubs and I look forward to a heart shaped from Donatos Pizza every year. 3 . Rent a movie and snuggle on the couch and make home made popcorn. Cheaper than one movie ticket and more romantic too! 4. Make a romantic dinner at home. Spaghetti, garlic bread, and salad is cheap and delicious! Present it with heart shaped plates and red napkins. 5. This is the most important tip!! Make sure to tell the person you are spending the holiday with how much they mean to you! At the end of the day, all I really wanted was an extra special I love you and to know I am loved. I really hope I didn't gross you single people out too much! But if so.. I have a great idea that sounds like A  LOT ...

Pollyanna syndrome

My mom has always said she likes to find the good in people, similar to Pollyanna. Whether she likes it or not, it's not always a good quality to have. She always told me I wear my heart on my sleeve, another quality that isn't always a good one. Seems pretty negative to disagree with her wanting to find the good or people or loving everyone regardless of their actions but let me finish. She recently learned that it is sometimes hard or impossible to find the good in people, including the ones she loves...like ALOT.  She and a few others recently dealt with a pretty heavy situation involving people they love and the outcome wasn't pretty. It was quite ugly! Not the first time my family has dealt with some ugly situations but it affected someone that has NEVER  put herself first and always done what is right regardless of the situation. Back to my point I am trying to make..when someone lives their life always finding the good and overlooking the truth behind the good..it ca...
