What It’s Really Like With No Kids… 2008-06-24 00:33:15 Can I tell you how much I’ve gotten done since yesterday when I shipped my kids off?

I finished a book.
I started another one.
I went for ice cream with one of my friends and her daughters.

Ding Dong the kids are gone… 2008-06-22 13:14:02 Do you hear that?
Silence.
And it’s weird.
Really. Really. Wierd.
I was the odd parent out today as we shipped 10 youngin’s off to summer camp. There were tears. There were looks of worry, wondering if their children would be okay for 5 days.
But not me.
I was the excited one.
For two reasons. 1 - my kids are going [...] Read more:Ding Dong
What I’m Learning About Summer Camp… 2008-06-21 01:16:01 My children are leaving for summer camp on Sunday right after church. In preparing (and not on the night before — PROPS for mom!) I’ve come to learn a few things…
It cost almost as much at Wal-Mart tonight in gathering items for them as it did for the actual price that I am paying to [...] Read more:Learning

Well that didn’t last long… 2008-07-11 02:29:20 One of the things that I loved about being gone the last two weeks was actually going to bed early. I guess I was tired. I had to get up at 6:30 to get showered and dressed and put on those heels that I love so dearly but hurt my feet so, only to spend [...]
You’ll never guess where I am…. 2008-07-10 15:08:22 And no, it’s not home.
That’s where I want to be.
But I am not there. I have not been there in 13 days so getting there is all that I can think about.
So, if I’m not home and I want to be there, you might wonder why/how I am blogging….
Aren’t you?
It’s a good story, I must [...]

Chasin’ Kids…. 2008-07-08 16:04:39 Please welcome Jaime from ChaseNKids.com today….
When people find out I’m ChaseNKids from ChaseNKids.com they immediately tell me their favorite story was my first ever entry. It was 2004 and I was a stay at home Mom with four kids under the age of ten.(7,4,2 and 6 months)
I tell people the [...]
I am strong. I am invincible. 2008-07-07 06:46:36 This post brought to you by that chick from Jason. For the Love of God and when she sent it, I had no idea that this is exactly how I would feel by this leg of my trip.
I am…tired.
I’m also confused as to when it became the “it” thing to work yourself to death. Why [...]

Curbing the "Are We There Yets?" 2008-07-25 08:22:18 The flight from DC to San Francisco was over 5 hours. I had a window seat and I'm not sure that I liked it. Typically, I'm a window seat kinda gal. I like to look out the window. (...)
I Am Not Above Being a Dork To Win a Prize (or two)… 2008-07-24 07:16:16 It's no secret that I'm a dork. I even have a whole category called Dorks R Us.
I'm comfortable with that and I've received confirmation of my dorkhood. (...)
Do you know who you're sleeping with? 2008-07-23 11:10:17 Staying at the hostel Friday night was really cool. While I was a wee bit nervous that I might have been placed in a co-ed dorm (thanks Becki!) I was not. When I checked in, I asked, and she told me that no, I'd be rooming with 3 other people who all had the same parts as me. (...)
Where do I possibly begin? 2008-07-22 21:07:46 I'm not even sure to be completely honest with you…
I have a list of blog posts, things that I encountered while in San Francisco at BlogHer. I shared a lot of what I thought while I was there but I wasn't able to share with you the pictures or the memories… who I met or how I made a fool of myself on more than one occassion. (...) Read more:begin
I'm learning about me… 2008-07-19 16:37:29 Last night, while I had every intention of going to bed right after I posted, I didn't. I ended up going back out. First for a drink and then on a walk through the city at night. We just kept walking and walking and walking. We ended up at the Bay Bridge and it was breathtaking and eerie and the most phenominal thing that I have ever seen. The city was quiet. The streets were bare

City vs. Country or somewhere in between… 2008-08-07 17:30:31 When I was in high school, I lived in the country. By country, I mean we scheduled our trips "in town" to do the grocery shopping, run errands, etc. My father has always conserved gas and this is when it was 99 cents a gallon. (...) Read more:Country
Just the thought could cause weight gain… 2008-08-06 07:58:13 If there is one thing my children love, it's amusement parks. They are becoming quite the connoseurs as they have been to more than a few various roller coaster filled parks around the country. (...) Read more:thought
Not it! 2008-08-05 23:12:01 We made a fairly impromptu trip to Pennsylvania this weekend to see my Pap who is in the nursing home and to visit the BFF…. and oh yeah! We went to Hershey Park too. (...)
Would you like to know who won? 2008-08-05 09:45:45 Sorry for the delay in getting the winner posted… we went out of town this weekend to see my grandfather and I actually didn't get online at all.
Can you believe it?
Shocker, I know. (...)
