Savor the Clean

04 Aug 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

It’s been a long few days in the Maniacal house. I have family in town, and we have been getting together for dinner.

As any parent with small children can tell you, leaving the house isn’t easy. You have to pack up everything you own to keep them entertained and/or safe. By the time you drag your exhausted and whiny brood home, all you want to do is drop it all and crawl into bed.

Motivated Mondays – Being an Over-Achiever HAS to be Over-Rated

19 Jul 2010 by Mom With A Pen

I am a good Mom. No, I am a great Mom…or so I keep telling myself that. I’m not really into “pats on the back” so the words are usually converted into little bites of Godiva, which means that there are a lot of little empty gold bags laying around. They make for elegant decor…or doggie-doo bags. Just don’t mistake the new from the old. Yes, it’s Monday. Just sayin’.

Funny…Makes Funny

17 Jul 2010 by Mom With A Pen

Last week a friend told me I wasn’t very funny when I was pregnant. Personally I challenge anyone to strap on a 30 pound watermelon, try to shave their right leg…oh, and then crack a smile. Look, it’s not about being funny. Looking funny, yes. Being funny, no.

No Fly Zone

Summer calls for salad and “getting healthy”. After all, it’s not pretty after you chow down on pasta and pass out from a carb coma…

Just sayin’.

The only negative to salad and a new health kick is that apparently our neighborhood flies are on the band wagon too. Every time I open the back door to fire up our Weber, one of them takes it as an open invitation to come in and fondle our leaf lettuce. Last week I even saw one land on the remote. I think he was trying to press “rewind” for the P90X toll-free number. Don’t feel sorry for him. He wouldn’t have made it past week 3. Yup, my “Mr. Miyagi” karate chop, not only ended any chance of him bulking up, but pretty much did him in.

Survey Says!

I am a pretty big fan of trivia. Back in the day (before we were parents) my husband and I used to love the NTN games at various watering holes around town. I must say we were pretty good at it, though that was ten years ago. He knew the history, geography, and sports. I could handle the random television questions and literature (before reality tv became so popular, and I refuse to watch Survivor).

Oh my, it has been HOT here. I was raised in Central Texas, so I tend to scoff at our summers here. When we had the new furnace installed and they asked if we wanted central air conditioning, I said “no way!” Truly, we don’t need it except for the rare weeks like this one. We have a nearly constant breeze out here on the “prairie” and a nice shade tree in the back yard. We also have two window units to make life tolerable when a heat wave such as this hits. I keep thinking the kids are going to find a puddle in front of the garage, with nothing left but the tank top and shorts I was wearing.

Not That There’s Anything Wrong With That…..

26 Jun 2010 by Maniacal Mommy

One of the hard parts of being a stay at home mom is being around your kids all the time. Ok, I know that is a gimmee. I mean more in the sense that I have grown used to their little eccentricities. I don’t really notice them anymore unless they are really aggravating, or I put us in a social situation that rather highlights their quirks.
