Job Jar Update
Teresa on Feb 25th 2010
So, an amendment for the job jar. Thought of this last night as I was inspired by both Mercedez and Boston. Mercedez didn’t want to unload the dishwasher and said that it was “worth a quarter to not have to do it”… She is way too smart for her own good. Boston didn’t want to [...]
Trying something new… I feel a change in the air
Teresa on Feb 23rd 2010
This whole single parenting thing is starting to catch up with me. The house is harder to keep up with and the girls haven’t been much help in the cleaning department. For that, I take full responsibility. I haven’t been able to figure out how to make them clean up after themselves. They are like [...]

2009 has been an exciting and challenging year for most people, but for us, especially, it has been a whirlwind of change. At this time last year I was recovering from a double mastectomy and flat as a pancake. In January I began reconstructive surgery and finally finished my last procedure in November (tattoo touch-ups to [...]
Why bother?

So yesterday I avoided scrubbing bathrooms in favor of scrubbing floors. As you know in order to scrub the floor, you have to first be able to see it. Hence, I picked up toys and and dirty clothes, stuffed animals and scraps of paper including dozens punched circles (Boston’s favorite new craft). I did a [...]

Country Casualty
Teresa on Jun 18th 2009
We left Arizona Friday afternoon, later than I planned, which is usually the case, and drove straight on to Idaho. The girls were good as always and we made it with only 2 pit stops. My kids are awesome!! We got to my parents house around 3:00AM. The girls were excited to be here and [...]
Mother’s Day
Teresa on May 9th 2009
Am I the only mom that, for Mother’s Day, just wants the day off? This morning, I made my bed, made breakfast, and made a buck emptying pockets. I picked up the toys, picked out Willow’s clothes, and pick the cheese off of Boston’s eggs (cuz she didn’t order them that way). I changed a diaper, changed the [...]
