There aren't ninjas on blogs....

Don't you feel like men have PMS too? My very loveable, makes-me-laugh-all-the-time husband has PMS.

I am not kidding.

He is craving burritos from this Taqueria that was dangerous to introduce him to. He has been grumpy. And he is complaining about things that we really have no control over, he is just loving to complain right now.

All this being said, it makes for a very interesting day that we have together. I was praying for him this morning, that he would get a grip on himself. I am sure he prays this very same prayer about yours truley! I am trying to steer clear right now, he is happy as a clam watching Ninja Warrior. Maybe some ice cream and french fries would help, both of us!

Why is Elementary school just like High school for the Moms?

OK, so I have been feeling like I am back in High school with the moms at Maddy's school. And let me tell you I was not one of the popular kids in high school. I was one of the "theatre geeks" that people knew and were somewhat nice to, but never really a part of any groups. This comes to say I could probably count on one hand how many friends I actually had outside of the theatre.

So, when I go to pick her up and I am standing there next to some of them, it is almost as if I am invisible. Not quite sure why.... I hear them setting up play dates with each other, and I wonder why Maddy is not included? She plays with their kids at recess. I have even had a mom or two comment on how loving and caring Maddy is. So then why do I take it so personally? I don't know. I don't want her to feel like I did, the awkward kid that stands there, hoping to be included. But really, she doesn't experience the disappointment that I do, she is in MaddyLand. She is so carefree and oblivious. Maybe that is not such a bad trait. And maybe I could learn from my 5 year old. Maybe I am the one who wants to be included...

I'm a little new around here.....

I just thought I might start my own blog. My husband will most likely think I am crazy, and he is probably right. I have been reading so many inspiring stories online, OK I am addicted to reading blogs. But as addictions go, I guess this is a safe one. I don't know if I even have anything really inspiring to say, but I thought I would give it a shot. So bear with me. I am a little new around here.
