The Husband and I had a little date tonight. Dinner at a local favorite place, then home to bathe all three kids and get them to bed late.
Now all is quiet on the homefront. Three freshly-bathed children are sleeping sweetly. The kitchen is clean, the toys are put away, the house is reasonably uncluttered. For [...]

Online ticketing

all day yesterday.
Sat at computer
clicked refresh so many times
waiting and waiting.
Why does it matter?

A challenge to me.
Too much time wasted

Okay, maybe I don’t get it.
I’m on Facebook. Who isn’t?
(Well, my mom isn’t, and I’d like to keep it that way.)
In any case, I don’t add people just to have a huge friends list. In addition to current folks I’m in touch with, I’ve added folks from my past. I have tried to catch [...]

So I realized that I missed my actual One Year Blogging Anniversary. I created Wife and Mommy on March 11, 2008, but didn’t do anything with it until May 2008. So I feel comfortable that I didn’t recognize the exact day.
Am I supposed to do something special for my blogging anniversary? I’m so clueless. Maybe [...]

I wrote about something that happened in my life and submitted it to another blog.
It’s been published today.
Click on the picture on the left to read it.
I’m feeling a little frightened and scared of putting it all out there.
But if it helps even one other woman, then it’s worth all the anxiety and fear [...]

I just noticed that I was tagged for a meme last week by Nicole! I’m to post the 6th picture in the 6th photo folder on my computer.
I was a bit worried when I realized it involved showing personal photos…because back when I started this blog, I decided I would not post any identifying pictures. [...]

It’s snowing here!
I am not a student nor a teacher in public schools anymore, but I still get giddy when it snows enough to close schools!
The county has already called school off for tomrorow, so no preschool. The kids will be excited to wake up to the world blanketed in white. We’re going ot make [...]
