Sunday Mornings

Sunday mornings are my favorite time. Ever since getting divorced is seems like Sunday morning is really the only time Hailey and I can slow down and just enjoy each other’s company. When she was younger there was always so much to do, the weeks were packed and Saturday was super busy with all the household stuff that was neglected all week, but Sunday was our day. Sunday has always been the day we get to slow down, we have a huge breakfast and spend most of the day in our pajamas. We don’t always “do” things together, although sometimes … Continue reading →

Sick Days

My poor baby has the flu. Thank goodness he is not throwing up, or I’d be in big trouble. I am just dreading the day that happens. I imagine this awful scene where I am covered in vomit and I don’t know how to respond. Although, judging by all the poo incidents around here lately, I’m beginning to think that puke would not be as big of a deal as I have previously thought. Still, it’s not fun to watch your little one suffer from a fever, chills and body aches. Our son is normally a tornado, whipping through the … Continue reading →

Beating Summer Boredom

I always know that moment in time during summer vacation when my children are ready to go back to school. No, they may not admit it but I know that it is there deep inside. It starts off with hearing the words “I’m bored,” even though they have a hundred things they can do in the house and they have lots of friends to hang out with. Then it turns into bickering. Before you know it, there are constant battles taking place between them. Yes, the itch for school to start has begun. It is probably being felt to a … Continue reading →

“Skinny B-tch”: Don’t Buy It!

Posted on by

PETA is coming out in full force these days. They claim that Brittney Spears’ problems are a result of her diet and now they’ve had two of their own publish what has been described as a “vegan manifesto” masquerading as a diet book. Veganism is a form of vegetarianism that rejects meat as well as any food that contains animal products such as milk, cheese, eggs, and honey. First of all, the authors of this book know nothing about weight loss. Their purpose in writing this book is not to help you lose weight but to mentally abuse you and … Continue reading →

Truly Lazy or Just Not Interested?

I think we parents have a tendency to worry that our children will be or are lazy if they don’t do all the things we think they should be doing. BUT, are they truly lazy—or is it just that they are not embracing our ideas of what they ought to be doing with their time? Is it really just a matter of them not caring about what we care about? Or should we be worried about their motivation and activity level? I find that my kids can get pretty motivated—get out of bed early, work long hours, and stay focused—on … Continue reading →

A Messy Wednesday

Looks like all three of us in the Amodio household (apartmenthold) aren’t feeling well today. I’ve been having some sort of allergy attack, complete with stuffy nose and post-nasal drip. On the four-legged front, Moose didn’t eat his breakfast — and he never misses a meal. And Lally barfed twice in the living room. A fun day for all. Of course, I was out of my usual favorite pet mess cleaner: Nature’s Miracle. That stuff is truly great for getting colorful messes out of the carpet AND neutralizing the scents that tempt pets to revisit the spot. But since I’m … Continue reading →

Like the Good Old Days

I mentioned that husband is going to be starting a new job soon. Well, in the mean time, he’s home a lot more often than he used to be, and I am really getting spoiled. We have even been doing the grocery shopping together like we used to, and really, doing almost everything together. I guess we’re just taking advantage of the opportunity. Soon, he won’t have nearly as much time and I’ll be missing him again. When we met and were just friends, we spent a lot of time together. When we were dating, we were inseparable, and stayed … Continue reading →

A Lazy Day to Do Nothing

Sometime, instead of planning an actual date night, consider just taking a day together to do nothing. Relax. Be lazy. Lie around in your jammies. Drink coffee and read the paper in bed, or just stay snuggled up and watch a great old movie. Order take-out or better yet, have something delivered. We all need to spend time with our spouses and sometimes that means getting out of the house; however, doing nothing can also be very therapeutic. This is especially true for those with hectic schedules. Years ago, my husband worked days and I worked nights. His mom would … Continue reading →

Day 3: I’m Still Not Smoking

I should probably title this piece, I’m a non-smoker, but I’m not there yet – mentally. I still feel that urge to have a cigarette. Yesterday, I was in the car running errands and I reached for the cigarettes as a habit until I realized they weren’t in the car and that I’d even gotten rid of my ashtray. It was such a knee jerk to reach for the cigarettes that I actually felt my heart speed up for a moment with adrenaline as fear hit me. I couldn’t have a cigarette. And yes, for a few seconds that generated … Continue reading →
