I’m sorry, Mom

Posted on August 24, 2019August 24, 2019 by dance0015

Nine years of “in the trenches” parenting will cause you to do a lot of reflecting.  Some of my biggest “ah ha” moments are when I realize the sacrifices my mom made for us.  So here it is, I’m sorry mom… I’m sorry, Mom that the doctor made you wake me up every couple of…

What’s in a Year?

Posted on July 9, 2019July 10, 2019 by dance0015

I hate change. I avoid change. Safe and routine are my friends. So when I was filled with years of conflict, I pushed on. When I was pregnant with baby #3 something painful and excruciating happened. Teaching had always been my passion and education was my lifelong career. All of the sudden I had doubt…

What a Day!

Posted on February 2, 2019February 3, 2019 by dance0015

This week, Madilyn has been sick as I’m finishing the semester and Justin is under major stress with work. This weekend, our family plans of all going to Jake’s first hockey tournament together had to change so the boys headed to the beach and I stayed home with our girl. Today, she finally started to…

My Love Hate Relationship with Winter as a Parent

Posted on January 6, 2019January 6, 2019 by dance0015

I have always disliked winter.  I prefer long sunny days outside being warm with plenty of things to do.   For years, I would spend much of winters inside wrapped up under blankets. Depressing I know. My first winter as a parent was painful. It was cold. I was stuck inside with a newborn who I…

You Left Your Husband With ALL of the Kids??!?!

Posted on October 30, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

      “You left your husband with ALL the kids?”  Seriously. What is this? Right along with, “Is Justin watching the kids tonight?”  For crying out loud. My husband is a DAD, just like I’m a MOM. He’s not babysitting, he’s parenting.  My husband is the oldest of eight kids. Yeah, I said eight….

“Finally” a Girl

Posted on October 11, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

 I was eight months pregnant.  My husband was at work. Patience was thin as I shuffled my two active boys into the new minivan (I still can’t believe I had to get a minivan) following swim lessons.  I made eye contact with a mom exiting with her ONE daughter who peacefully walked beside her holding…

I never have to do this again…

Posted on September 18, 2018December 3, 2018 by dance0015

I was still in the stirrups, getting stitched up, talking to my OB.  This was my third labor and my third and final baby. She commented “you are doing amazingly well” and asked “how are you feeling?” I remember my immediate response, “I never have to do this again!” She laughed and told me she…
