The Rooster Lives to Crow Another Year! I hope I’m this tolerant of ‘ribbing’ the day I turn 49… … and only have 1 year of my 40’s left. … and will be 50 (!) the next year… Nahhh… who am I kidding. I’ll be moping around like someone took my last glass of wine.
I think I’m pretty happy that today is Wordless Wednesday because it’s Mackenzie’s 16th birthday and honestly.. I’m a bit of a mess on the inside. It’s not just that I’m the mom of a 16-year-old but I’m also the mom of a beautiful child who is going to be getting her keys to freedom very, very soon. And those…
I cannot believe that I’m sitting here writing this. As of 1:42pm today, we will tip the scales and have more teens than tweens in our house. I am the mom to TWO teens and ONE tween. Sigh. And I’m this close to being a basket case. Today is Sydney’s 13th birthday. Seriously. Weren’t we just here last year?? May 14th…
Man that was a shameless plug, wasn’t it?! Well, it’s true – today is my 45th birthday. When you have a birthday anywhere near Christmas, you learn pretty early on to shamelessly plug your big day as often as you can and to anyone who will listen. Fortunately, there are plenty of places to eat which are happy to celebrate…
Guess what day it is?? No… it’s not Hump Day and while it IS Election Day, there’s a MUCH bigger and better thing happening today… It’s the Rooster’s birthday!! Yep and that means for the next several weeks, he’s THREE years older than me! Woohoo!! I was going to do a “47 reasons I love the Rooster” list but that’s…
I’m going to try to get thru this day without having a mental breakdown. Like all other occasions in our life, the first and the last are always the hardest. Today was the end of single digits in our house. It’s Cassie’s 10th Birthday. It’s all over but the crying. She’s officially a pre-teen. As if that weren’t bad enough,…
It’s May 14th. Just another day to many, but for us it’s a day of celebration. It’s Sydney’s 12th birthday! I hope you’ll help us party! I’m sure we’ll celebrate with some cake… Maybe we’ll get dressed up and hit the town… Maybe we’ll ride some rides.. Or a day at the spa? There will be stories told.. And, since…
It’s not my mom’s birthday until May, but I picked this post for The Mommy Mess’ Going Green series because I unknowingly upset Little Mama while I was in Jamaica. See.. I have this habit of sticking my foot in my mouth and while I’ve gotten much better at it as I’ve gotten older, I’m still not completely cured. In…
Steve. Steven. Rooster. Maj. Boo. Dad. Daddy. He goes by many names around his friends and family but today, we’re just going to call him The Birthday Boy. Today is the Rooster’s 46th birthday. I don’t think he minds that I tell his age since one of his favorite stories is the one where the judge told him that if…
Today is the “baby’s” birthday. Except she’s not a baby anymore.. today she is 9. But she’s still MY baby. Cassie was our “added bonus”. She popped up on the radar during one of the more challenging times of our lives. Steve had started a new job the year before, as had I. But fate doesn’t always pay attention to…
