No, not my biological clock… that ship has happily sailed away and two boys is plenty, as you know. And although, I swear I had my first official hot flash this past week, that is not *the tick tock* either. I’m craving routine in the worst way. I miss having a structured day where the…… Continue Reading

OM Life with Boys :: The Vice Principal
Oh boy. Or should I write, oh boys. I like a little respite between major incidents in these boys’ lives, but maybe that’s too much to wish for as they get older. I meet the bus at the end of almost every school day. Usually, I just wave to the bus driver and listen to…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Hoarder Files
Whenever I get very busy with my business, the first thing to fall into disarray is housekeeping. I’m not a very astute housekeeper in any case. It is usually the last thing on my mind. But…. when the laundry is piled high and the clutter is piled high, my stress level becomes piled high. It’s…… Continue Reading
OM Life with Boys :: The Drama and the Bottle
It’s been a whirlwind week in the house of boys, for sure. Between the germs that have spread to us all (except hubby who has been working 12-hour days) and tricking the five-year-old into thinking that cleaning toilets is FUN, there’s been some drama and a surprise. The drama happened at 5:45 am this morning.…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Just Cuz

The meetup idea was created by Linda at her blog, a la mode stuff. If you’d like to participate in OM, just…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Random Points You Home
I was going to write another moment this morning, but with the news of the 8.9 earthquake off the coast of Japan, all moments seem to fade to the background. The randomness of this makes us all aware of how alike we are. Can you relate to a tsunami if you live in Nebraska? Probably…… Continue Reading
OM :: The Holla for Challah
One simple decision can align many of your cares into a singular satisfying experience. It doesn’t happen often, but if you’re paying attention (and I am, thank you, Linda), you can enjoy the moment and sigh contentedly. I sometimes struggle in my mind with the daily decisions I make on behalf of my family. The…… Continue Reading
OM :: The End of Vacation
I am always amazed at the complex feelings at the end of a family vacation. There were great moments, crappy moments, fun times, utterly annoying times, crazy travel, uneventful travel, sweet family moments and times when I craved a sound-proof hyperbolic chamber. But when it ends, I feel wistful, but full of relief. Vacation is…… Continue Reading
Best of OM :: The Cat Door
I’m off with my family on a winter break for a week, but thought it would be a good idea to showcase the best of my OM [one moment] posts. OM is a meetup every Friday to reflect on one moment that is meaningful to you. The moments the participants have shared are funny, poignant,…… Continue Reading
