The constant push-pull of work and being a mommy is enough to drive anyone nuts. Glad to hear you resolved it in the right way for you and GG!

That Time of the Month....for a BFF*

*BFF is internet-speak for Best Friend Forever. It's the only internet- speak I know besides FYI

Good point about the sharpening! My skates are long past due for it!

Too funny! Before you shared that you had your blade guards on I was going to say: "make sure your skates are sharpened!" I, too, reentered the world of ice skating last year with my kids and if your skates aren't sharpened (this has happened to me at Red Arrow and the Pettit Center) you can't hardly move.

We all have our own skates now, so it is not an issue anymore. It's so much fun!

Good for you, Linda & good luck! GG & I went skating again last night....believe me, I made sure my blade guards were off before I hit the ice!

Hilarious! That was also me last winter! haha! I thought it would be like riding a bike - just hop back on - uh, no. As I was slipping and hanging on to the siderails, my son turned into the adult telling me, "its okay Mom, you can do it!" We plan to attempt the ice skating feat again this winter.

Glad I'm not in this alone....Oh, and about crossing stuff off "The List": No one was called about anything, Santa still hasn't had the pleasure of meeting GG this year, I didn't darken the door of any stores and the Christmas trees remain naked.

All I know is that if I hear Mariah Carey trill about Santa Claus coming to town one more time and Johnny Mathis lilt happily about how it's Beginning to Look A Lot Like Christmas, my head's gonna explode.

Rochelle, that is exactly how it is! Too funny. My little mental check list includes: don't forget to sign up for the next session of gymnastics for Miranda and register online for Riley's little league and get a Christmas gift for my lovely neighbor who keeps plowing my driveway for me. Oh and do I only have that photo mousepad for my mom and dad? I need to get them something other than that! And, ooh, I need a hostess gift for my friend hosting the cookie exchange party tomorow night. The mental checklists and all the little notes written on scraps of paper all over the house go on and on and on...

Happy Birthday, GG. Gram loves you a whole bunch.

(Still glad that our baby wasn't named "Pearl"!!) My apologies to all the "Pearl"s out there. It's really a gem of a name.....for someone else... Pearl Baily comes to mind...

Wow! I hadn't heard about this, Rochelle. Thank you so much for telling this story. I'm excited to share it with my kids and give them some cash to donate to the actors after we see the Dec. 6th performance.

Hey Maura, I like that idea....she LOVES gum!!

I remember receiving a pack of gum (the 5 stick, sugarless kind) and either 25 or 50 cents per tooth.
