I am sahm.sahm I am? Simple thoughts from a simple work-at-home mom with a stay-at-home-mom complex.Semi simple thoughts.Reasonably simple.ok, not really all that simple. Monday, August 19, 2013. Mixed Message in a Lunchbox. Mom," Noah told me last week as he rummaged around in a cabinet, "when you give me blueberries in my lunch, you should put them in this." He held out a plastic container with a lid. "It would be perfect, just the right size and they won't get smooshed in my lunchbox.". I guess any mo...

The Uniform of Our People. Bekah stood in front of me. Her hair was pulled back in two ponytails and she was wearing minimal makeup. "Does this necklace work? I gave her a once over. "Sure. It only adds to the look.". It's the uniform of your people.". It occurred to me that all three were in uniform. Bekah like...

Happy? Father’s Day | Susan Vollenweider: Stuff
https://susanvollenweider.com/2015/06/17/happy-fathers-day
Other stuff I write. June 17, 2015. July 26, 2015. My calendar, the card aisles and the colorful sales flyers that come with my newspaper tell me that Father’s Day is coming. Quickly. I’ve been writing family centered, slice of life columns for several years’ worth of Father’s Days I have a sizable file of them. Or, like looking for that ONE picture for Throw Back Thursday leads to hours paging through photo albums, I fall into a rabbit hole of reading. That happened this week. I wanted you to cry with me.

I had such great plans… | Susan Vollenweider: Stuff
https://susanvollenweider.com/2014/07/21/i-had-such-great-plans
Other stuff I write. I had such great plans…. July 21, 2014. July 21, 2014. I love summer. Not so much a fan of the cold, spring is too muddy, and I get sad in the fall when all the leaves start to turn and I know that it will be gray and brown for months. Winter makes me sad, but still lifes like this make me happy. Now the kids have been out of school for two full months. It’s been a non-stop mom-taxi fest. All that stuff? Kid one at the wheel. Kid two at the wheel. We went to watch others play basebal...

Joseph on the Shelf. When we hauled the Christmas decor upstairs, Joseph lost his head. Every time. Enter that tradition. But this year, now almost two weeks since the arrival of Joseph to the living room, I was a little slow on the repair. The fact that it didn't horrify the kids was my chief excuse. I can't...

Have asked to read it, so here it is. All the names have been changed, the characters really aren't even close to what my friend is like and she never did tell me the details about her strange date. 8220;Didn’t I tell you to wear orange? 8220;Thank you, I’ll just get these in water and we can get going&#...

Dad says you have to put sunblock on me.". You were outside with him," he said when I confronted him, "you couldn't put sunblock on in that time? I thought you had.". So it's my punishment to be hauled away from what I was doing to do something he could have easily done, I don't say. But it doesn't feel like a hobby.

Right now- this very minute- I am hiding from the kids and man who made me a mom. Moms- They're better than Dads. Yeah, it is. I had this burning desire for solitude and a keyboard. I spent the morning with them and will.oops, one just found me. Middle child, teenage boy.and just back from a run. And that is what m...

I am sahm...sahm I am?: Something Good Happened To Me Today

I am sahm.sahm I am? Simple thoughts from a simple work-at-home mom with a stay-at-home-mom complex.Semi simple thoughts.Reasonably simple.ok, not really all that simple. Something Good Happened To Me Today. This is the mood I want to capture if even for a second each day. It's an image from last year when I was utterly gleeful for a full day. In my head I was trying to slow down time, capture every moment in my memory, and never, ever let it go. Am I glad I did this? Did it help me see the positive?
