About Me

PA, United States
For now, I work as a stay-at-home mom of three beautiful children (a boy who is 2, a girl who is 4, and a step-daughter who is 18 and currently attending American University, Go Alex!!) while trying desperately to finish my dissertation in sociology. My husband and I have been together for 10 wonderful years and he works as a software architect. While he helped me design this blog, he cannot be liable for its content. I decided to start blogging because: 1) Many of my mommy friends have blogs and I was tired feeling left out, 2) I needed a place to vent my frustrations about my graduate program and rave about my children and my husband, 3) a blog can keep our extended family (who live very far away) updated, and 4) as fellow mommy blogger once told me (thanks Patty), a blog is a historical record that can later be shared with your children.

According to my 4 year old, I'm so smart!


So tonight I was putting Maya to bed and she requested that we read "the Foot Book" by Dr. Seuss. Since Maya knows the book by heart, she read it to me. After the part that said "how many feet you meet" she asked me to count all of the feet on the page. So I counted all 28 of them and then she turned to me and said, very enthusiastically, "GOOD JOB MOMMY" she then grabbed my face with both her hands, looked me in the eye, and said "YOU ARE SO SMART MOMMY" emphasizing the so and proceeded to give me a big hug. Gotta love it!

:) That is so adorable!

Sometimes I wish I had a video camera/tape recorder on me 24 hours a day to record some of the things the kids say.
Some because its adorable, the others because I can play them for their dates later for a joke :P
