Good Morning Everyone!
I have been paralyzed in the blogging department lately.  The jury is still out on the Ritalin for mom.  I am not sure the pros are out-weighing the cons right now.  Between the shakes, the empty mind, the too calm when on it and the frazzled mind, overwhelming feelings I have about everyday [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Phew, life has been busy!  These last few weeks of school are crazy!  Anyway, I have about 5 minutes while the children eat their breakfast and before the bus comes to write.
Negative/Positive, Negative/Positive?  Oh the struggles that go on in this head of mine sometimes.  I haven’t taken my Ritalin for the day [...]

Good Morning Everyone!
Happy Mother’s Day to all you Mommies out there.  I wanted to write this yesterday when my daughter gave me the card but, knew I had to wait until today.
I am one of those mom’s who cherishes the handmade gifts and cards my children give me much more than any store bought gift/card.  [...]

Good Afternoon Everyone!  It is cold and windy here in the Twin Cities and we even have a frost warning for tonight, gotta love Minnesota!  Really, you have to love Minnesota because if you didn’t, you couldn’t live here.
So, I have a few moments to myself right now as my hubby is napping(must be nice), [...]
