But You’re Supposed to Hate Each Other

Ah, yes.  The ex-girlfriend and the new wife.  Kid supposed to hate the new step-mom. Ex-girlfriend is psycho and manipulative.  New wife is supposed to be the evil woman that tore the family apart.  Basically the ex and the new wife are supposed to hate each other.  Blended families are stereotypically full of turmoil, jealousy, [...]

An Hour at the Skating Rink

I haven’t been ice skating in probably like 4 years, so yesterday I had this bright idea to go. Hunter hasn’t been in 4 years either and prior to that he had taken skating lessons. I’m not a bad skater at all. I don’t fall. I can go fast. But [...]

Movie Theater Etiquette

Yesterday we went to the movies and saw Avatar.  I will admit I had no desire to see it at all and neither did Hunter.  But one of his friends at school had seen it and told him how awesome it was and I’ve been hearing nothing but good things, so we went.  It was [...]

I’m Raising Casanova

Every Thursday night at 8pm EST I host my own MomTV show live called High Heels and Legos.  Basically i talk about being a single mom and anything significant that happened during the week.  However, usually my show gets hijacked and taken over by my 8 year old.   This kid needs his own show….for real.
So [...]

Sleepwalking

I wrote a post over a year ago on this topic and somehow I can’t find it.  It must have gotten accidentally deleted at some point. Anyways the point of that post was about how Hunter is a sleepwalker and how he sleepwalked out of my grandmother’s house one night.  Well that was the worst [...]

Peaceful Slumber

I wanted to share with you all a picture of my son after I’ve picked him after work at 11:30pm. For whatever reason, all three nights I work, crawls into my bed fully clothed and sleeps. I usually check my email and stuff when I get home and head into bed about a [...]

A Sure Way to Boost Self-Esteem

As most of you know from previous posts, I am going to Vegas for the first time in one week from tomorrow. Its so hot out there and I plan on spending some time at the pool which means….bathing suit. I will honestly admit my body is no where near bikini ready, so I’ve been [...]

Happy St. Patty’s Day

The big thing around here for St. Patricks Day is the Southie parade. Every year South Boston holds an enormous St. Patty’s Day parade on the sunday before March 17. The streets are filled with on-lookers from all over, completely decked out in green. Its so much fun to see what people show up in…talk [...]

Hunter? Is that REALLY his name??

If you can believe it, that was a question i had been asked when Hunter was only 3 by some ditzy flake inquiring young lady. I was completely dumbfounded and when i told her that it was his name, she had that insert-foot-into-mouth look on her face. You know the “How far along are you?” [...]

How sweet was this?!?

When i went to Philly just two weeks ago, Hunter stayed with my grandparents for the weekend. My grandparents happend to be very young…only 67. Hunter and my grandfather are exceptionally close…my mother refers to them as soulmates. They just have a special bond that you can probably only have with one [...]
