Sized Up

Until I had kids, my weight was probably the furthest thing from my mind. Unless, we’re talking about wanting to gain weight. I was embarrassed when people would ask me if I ate. I did. I ate a lot of really crappy food, sometimes in front of them just to prove that that’s just the [...]

Being A Mom to a Boy

The other night my husband went out with an old friend he hadn’t seen in a while. Upon his return, I asked how his wife and their kids (they have 3 sons 19,20, and 23) were doing since it had been a few years since we had all gotten together. Last I heard, the oldest [...]

Results

I’m sure you’re on the seat of your chair to hear how the 3 day face lift diet worked, right? Well, scroll down and you may be disappointed. There are no after pictures. That can mean one of three things. Either (1) I didn’t notice a difference or (2) I was too lazy to take [...]

turning back time with salmon, gag.

Seems like each week I start a new diet or regime. (How’s that working for you, Tena? Yeah, not so good. Shut up.) Along with talking to myself, I barter with myself. When I’m feeling energized enough to be working out, I work out hard, and justify eating. When I don’t have the energy to work [...]

Niche

Last weekend I went to a conference. It was a blogging conference. I hate the word blog. It was called Bloggy Boot Camp. I hate the word bloggy even more. And the phrase ‘boot camp’ automatically makes sweat puddle under my boobs and I have panic attacks thinking that I will have to work out [...]

Just

I’ve been going through the motions for a while now. Kind of aimless in my destination and unsure of where it is I’m headed or, even, what I want. None of that has changed, don’t worry, I’m still confused as hell. However, I am more focused, now, at wanting to figure it out and get [...]

The Call

Last night I got the phone call that every mom of a driver dreads. “I’ve been in an accident, mom.” Everything goes silent. Breathing stops as the heart races and you can feel beads of sweat puddling on your hairline and your pulse reverberating in your ears. “I’ll call you back, I have to talk [...

The one where I start talking about math and end up at lady porn, naturally.

Math. When many people hear the word or think of memories of school in relation to math, they get twitchy or sweaty and ramble about how they “hate math”. I didn’t hate math. It was like a fun puzzle to figure out. I always had a firm belief that people that had that fear of [...]

My Glamorous Getaway

You know it’s been a trying last 15 days with my kids home on spring break when I’m actually looking forward to getting away to get the underneath of my gums scraped with sharp tools. I’m going to get my first deep dental cleaning today (for half of my mouth, that is apparently how they [...]

High Strung Intervention

If you would have asked me a few weeks ago, I would have told you that my kids are really good. I know, everyone says that, and usually it’s not true. But with me, it is. Or at least, it was. People always commented on how well behaved my kids were. Not hyperactive or loud, [...]
