The Girl’s Christmas Wish

Hello Everyone,
Yesterday, Quynn wrote out a Christmas list. This list had only 6 things on it, and one of the things on her list was “Money for the Homeless”. I personally think that is remarkable that this 7 year old girl would think of such a thing on her own (of course, I’m a little [...]

Remember Me?

Wow, it’s been over 3 months since I posted here.  I guess I just wasn’t feeling it…the Two Working Parents name wasn’t relevant to me, and I was uninspired.  So, let me give a quick rundown of our summer, share some news, and set some goals.
Summer
I had a great summer at home with the kids.  [...]

See What Happens When You Don’t Apologize?

Allow me to set the scene:
In the middle of the afternoon on a bright and sunny day, we were getting ready for a trip to the store.  I, being the responsible pet owner that I am, put Teller on his leash, and opened the door to take him for a quick walk before we left.

It’s Starting Out To Be a Good Week!

First of all, we had a great 4th of July weekend.  We had some new friends over for dinner, and we got to see some good fireworks (though, admittedly, not as good as last year).  The Boy was terrified of the fireworks, but once he got passed the sound factor, he was fine.  Then, on [...]

This Was a Good Week

Since I lost my job back in May, it’s been really hard to write.  I’ve spent my days looking for work, trying to start a business, and worrying about money.  This week, though, some prayers were answered, and I can breath just the tiniest bit easier.  I was approved for unemployment, so the small amount [...]

Happy Birthday, Girl!

Dear Girl,
In just a few hours, you will wake up.  It will be your birthday, and you will have reached the ripe old age of 7.  I can’t believe you are already 7.  It doesn’t even seem possible.  But, here you are, growing up right in front of my eyes.
In addition to today being your [...]

I Learned A Little About Myself

This past week, I have been busy looking for jobs and getting ready for the end of the school year.  In this process, I’ve learned a few things about myself…and relearned a few things as well.  The first thing I learned is that it is hard being a stay-at-home mom.  I mean, I always knew [...]

An Open Letter To My Downstairs Neighbor

Dear Erica,
 I am sorry that you feel we are disturbing your peace, but I need you to understand our position.  First of all, we have 2 kids.  I am not denying the fact that they can be loud…that we can be loud.  But, the drawback to living in an apartment is dealing with your neighbors [...]

And Then The Bottom Fell Out…

I’ve been absent from blogging this week.  As you know, I lost my job last week, and have been trying to apply for unemployment (took 3 days just to get through), find a new job, and start my business.  Plus, The Boy has been sick.  The worst of it though, came on Monday.
When Brian was [...]
