And I'll Raise You 5: Averting Awkward Alliteration
http://andillraiseyou5.blogspot.com/2014/10/averting-awkward-alliteration.html
Little T learned about alliteration today in school, and she had a great time creating little one line "poems" with her classmates. My personal favorite, koan-like in its profound simplicity, is this:. The careful cat cooked colorful cupcakes in the courtyard. Let that soak into your brain for a moment. It's pure beauty, right? She remembered many of the others she composed at school:. The lion licked lots of lemon lollipops. Savana slid down several slippery slides. Thank you, 5th grader.). Mommy was pr...

Stuck in the Suburbs: May 2009
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Wednesday, May 20, 2009. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday to you. Happy Birthday dear Stella. Happy Birthday to you. Do you think she enjoyed that cake? I love this little person. She is an absolute joy. She was so excited about her big day today. When we walked into her preschool classroom this morning, they all yelled "Happy Birthday." Made her day. Monday, May 18, 2009. Life is Just a . Sunday, May 17, 2009. If only my bathroom smelled this good all the time. Friday, May 15, 2009. Thomas. Our...

Stuck in the Suburbs: Too funny to not share
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2010/02/too-funny-to-not-share.html
Friday, February 19, 2010. Too funny to not share. So I was taking Stella to dance last night and because of the crazy amounts of snow we have had lately I was having a really hard time finding a parking spot. One, because her dance studio is in Uptown which is small, home to a college campus, busy and has mostly street parking. I was making my third loop around the block and trying to make a left. Traffic cleared and I started my turn when some ass flew out of his spot on the curb and cut me off. He kee...

Stuck in the Suburbs: January 2009
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 31, 2009. I am wondering if a dog can have Pica? Isn't that the eating disorder where you eat non-food items? I know puppies are supposed to chew things, but I was thinking like shoes. Caleb decided he wanted Atticus, the puppy, to sleep with him the other night. I wasn't sure about messing with the sleeping routine that was already working for us, where Atticus is down stairs locked behind many baby gates, but whatever. Yes, I left it until the morning because I just did not have it in...

Stuck in the Suburbs: Volunteering
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009/12/volunteering.html
Tuesday, December 8, 2009. Today I began my journey on the 'kindergarten volunteer' road. And already, what a long strange trip it has been. Several times, notes have come home that there were still spots to fill in the area of volunteer if any parents would be willing to step up. Against my better judgement, I stepped up. So today, I loaded up the small one and off we went to do our volunteer time. Over all a great day. I think one of the best ways to feel better about your own kids, is to hang out ...

Stuck in the Suburbs: October 2009
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009_10_01_archive.html
Monday, October 26, 2009. Just holding onto a moment. This morning I had one of those moments that was just right. I stood alone in my. Kitchen. Clean, if you avoid looking down. The boys are well and back in school. Laundry is nearly done. Dustin stayed home and took Stella to the doctor as she seemed not quite back on track. I made a cup of tea. It was hot and really good. The sun is shining really bright in through the windows. For just a moment everything and everyone was mostly taken care of. Miles ...

Stuck in the Suburbs: August 2009
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009_08_01_archive.html
Thursday, August 27, 2009. I am still here. Just spread really, really thin at the moment. I love referring to myself as 'thin'. Even if I am just referring to my time and my emotional well-being. Myself and thin in the same sentence feels good. I have been crazy busy lately. Now I have worn-down ugly ass carpet meeting my new beautiful tile. Pretty. Thanks to my generous donation, I think half of Miami is now signed up for some network called i-friends.com. Glad I could help. The money, including the hu...

Stuck in the Suburbs: Tough choices
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2010/02/tough-choices.html
Wednesday, February 3, 2010. Thanks to all for the support offered up following my last post. The boy that I watch lost his cool again and I made the call to his Mom to let her know I was officially done at this point. If it was just me, I would have stuck it out with him, but I have to put the safety of my kids and the smaller kids that I watch as my first priority. Fine Agreed. But, as for all things, there is an appropriate time and place. My home is not the place. February 3, 2010 at 4:43 PM. Love is...

Stuck in the Suburbs: June 2009
http://stuckinthesuburgs.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Saturday, June 27, 2009. Splish, splash wasn't planning on takin' a bath. So my hubby left for his vacation this past week. He left on the morning of my birthday. We had a huge storm that same morning and lost our power. Just before he left, we still did not have power and so I jokingly asked him if as a birthday present to me would he check the sump pump and make sure the basement wasn't flooding before he headed out. Our basement has never been so much as damp. The kids were awesome during the whole th...
