Happy Memorial Day!

As we all get together for BBQ and family and friends, let us take time to remember and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our freedom.

Happy Memorial Day!

Before you leave you brush your teeth with a bottle of What?!

Good Morning Dear Readers!

I have this wonderful high school classmate recently reconnected through facebook friend who is an amazing blogger. I just HAD to share this recent post with you from her site: Fluid Pudding. If you have elementary age kids especially, you definitely need to read this. :-)

Before you leave you brush your teeth with a bottle of What?!

Yours, wishing you a Happy, Jack-free Monday,

And Here We Have a Monday....

Wouldn't it be nice to be able to say that? As if we were walking up and down the sale aisle, being guided by a personal shopper... "And here we have a Monday. This particular day of the week is for those who are strong of heart, or have had quite a bit of rest over the weekend. Monday will take everything you have.... because you never know what you are going to get with Monday...Now over here, we have The Three Day Weekend Monday Package. It is quite lovely, will cause you to enjoy your Monday to the fullest extent, but will throw you off for the rest of the week..."

If only it were that easy, right? Oh, that we could pick and choose or weekdays! Would I ever pick a Monday? I don't know... sometimes I'm really ready for them. Other Sunday nights, not so much. :-) I think Karen and I are finding our way back to Mondays. We had a bit of time where we were pretty much just trying to hold it together, but she is raring to go, and let me tell you, when she is on a roll, just step aside. It's the only safe thing to do! We have finally finished The Caregiver Organizer for MY Aging Parent and are pretty close to finishing our Caregiver Organizer for MY Special Needs Child.

Being a parent can be hard work, but for those with children who have special or extra needs, keeping it all together is pretty challenging. That's why it only made sense to develop an organizer focused toward that need. I can barely keep my head on my shoulders, let alone keep my kids organized. We'll let you know as we get closer when our release date is.

And in other news, you may have noticed our blogging has shifted a little. We'll be blogging three days a week now. Look for us on Monday, Wednesday and Friday. Mondays, that is, when we decide to select Monday from the sale aisle....

Yours, living my Monday to the fullest,

Melissa

Change is Comin'!

It's the Monday Minute! Tune-in Tuesday Debate! Wednesday Whatever. . .  Thursday Thought and Friday Funny!  

Yep, we will be attempting to be going to a new format just to bring a little order to the chaos.  We also like routine. We are, after all, moms. And you know what happens when routine gets unexpectedly blown out of the water. Well, it can all go to heck if you can't recover. 

So the Monday minute will be something short and sweet- just enough to get us going for the day.  And I've got to write it in a minute or less. (Oh, Help me!)

Tune-in Tuesday Debate- This is YOUR time to get involved. Each Tuesday we will post a question about family and kids and parenthood that will undoubtedly cause a surge of opinion. We want to hear from you! So, comment away.

Wednesday is whatever. It could be anything. you'll have to check us out to see.

Thursday Thoughts- anything from something sweet, to inspiring, to thought provoking.

Friday Funny- must read as you hear funny family stories. It will make you feel more normal. And who knows- send us your funny story and you, too, might become part of our blog.

So that's my minute for Monday.

See you tomorrow!

Melissa
