As a mother of two children, I know it is vital to their learning and development for them to fall in love with books, much like I did when I was a little girl. Finding out that our President Obama has decided to cut funding for Reading is Fundamental programs has me very frustrated. I […]
Apparently Iowa Drivers
Still haven’t gotten a hint about the snow on the roads. No matter how much snow and ice there is TIME AND TIME AGAIN, people think they can drive like it’s a hot sunny 90 degree day. Just because you have a huge truck or SUV, does not make you have power and invincible to […]
Studying and Organizing are Quite Alike
I suck at studying. I am a multi-tasker which is the best way for me to learn but seriously? I hate studying. My mind can never stay in one spot. I think it’s like organizing. I am trying to learn about organization. I want to be thorough and know where things are without having to […]
Thinking about Lasik Eye Surgery
So I have been wearing glasses since I was 10. I got contact lenses at 14. Honestly, I’m pretty freaking blind as a bat. My prescriptions are -4.25 and -4.75. It runs in my family though. On BOTH sides. I’m like doomed. As it comes time for me to get ANOTHER eye exam just so […]
Trying to Play Catch-Up
I have to apologize if we are kind of missing in action right now. Between this horrid weather and now both girls being sick with me, Mommy is worn out! I tried hard to keep hand sanitizer and everything constantly cleaned but my poor girls got what Mommy has. We’re doing lots of cuddle times […]
Dear Three Year Old,
Just so we get our facts straight, now I know you are growing and asserting your independence. That’s awesome. But last I checked, I’m the Mommy. So let’s stop with the trying to boss Mommy around, ok? Telling Mom to do something NOW or Kelsie wants it NOW just doesn’t work around here. Be a […]
I’m Not Your Scapegoat anymore
I have been the one to hear all your troubles and all your worries. I have been the one that got it taken out on when something didn’t go your way. I don’t want you fighting for my acceptance. I will no longer stick up for you. You have something you have to say, you […]
Jon Lacina Missing Two Weeks
Two weeks have passed since the time Jon Lacina was last seen. No cell phones or bank accounts have been touched since the night he disappeared on January 22nd. An Iowa State student is missing. While I did not know Jon personally, I am a mother. I am a former Iowa State Student. I am […]
Seriously, Again!?
How many times can a person get sick in a year? Because once again, I’m sick. This weather must be taking a toll on my body. I’ve taken preventatives. I have my seasonal flu shot, I even got my H1N1 Vaccine this past week so I could prevent myself from getting sick-think about how many […]
Here Comes My Test
Tomorrow is going to be a busy day at school. Tanya is coming and getting a first hand look at my school, The Salon Professional Academy and my friend Aubrey and I will be working to pamper her up right! This is her birthday treat to herself so we’ve got a day full of stuff […]
Help Find Jon Lacina
Please please help spread the word about Jon and help us bring him home. My thoughts and prayers are with his family during this time. As a former Iowa State Student, I am waiting for word that Jon is found. Ames is a campus town but yet small enough town that we all take a […]
The Turbulence of Mom
If I was to write everything that happened in my life, well, I’d have to take it to another website and I’d have alot more to say. These posts are not your happy go lucky posts-I am beginning some life confessions in hopes that someone somewhere can step out and have their own voice heard. […]
Yes We Do Hair Removal Too
As an Esthetics student. When I first got thinking about it, I was TERRIFIED. Now that I’ve learned quite a bit of the different processes, I think it’s fun. I’m weird, we’ve already acknowledged that fact. When I was a teenager, I used to always grab hair removal wax strips when we were at the […]
There’s alot about me….
That many do not know. As I’ve grown to blog more, I’ve realized that I hope to help people in some way. Sure, blogging is lots of fun but in all reality, there’s times to be serious. Maybe someone has been through similar as me. Maybe there’s a friend you just can’t quite understand the […]
Dear QWest
Please do not call me to discuss this “issue” after I’ve e-mailed you for follow up. I’ve learned how easily things can be manipulated via the telephone. Your follow up discussion with me can be via e-mail or written letter thank you. So happy to see your employees can violate Privacy Laws. So is it […]
