For the sad news first…
My son who is in high school and his girlfriend have broken up! I am devastated. I know this may seem crazy, but I am so sad and feel for both of these kids. I know I am just "a mom" and I should not get involved or have feelings (as the kids think), but I am TERRIBLY sad :( They were such a cute couple and she was so sweet and good for Phillip. I want to send her a card or sneak her a phone call but I know that is NOT this moms place to do something that far out, but Ohhhhhhh, I do hurt for them.
OK, get a grip Paula.
For some happier news…I recently was approached by Real Savvy Mom and I have signed a contract to be a part of their team as a MOM BLOGGER – how cool is that?!!! Watch for me and my Mom to Mom Blog coming soon :)
And…I can now get down my friggin’ driveway! (which is like a mile long) After our BIG snow last Wednesday we could not go anywhere because our plow guy’s plow was broken and we had no back up – of course. So, we found another plow guy and we are in business! It feels SO good to get out. YES.
Oh, I just have to show this – here is my son Phiilip’s basketball team pic for this year. He is the handsome one next to the coach #12 – Congrats St J’s!
Until we meet again!
Chow, Paula

is my topic of discussion today.
First of all, Boo Hoo for the Chicago Bears! Chicago, my birthplace, although I haven’t stepped foot in that city for years. I was rooting for the Bears, our whole family was. Oh well. Another football season come and gone.
While we are on the subject of sports…Yay for the Hilltoppers!!! You are asking right now, who the hell are the Hilltoppers correct?? My 9th grade son’s basketball team, that’s who. They played this past week in a tounament and beat Spaulding 53-30 to come in 1st place!!! What a great way to end the season St J :) Congratulations boys!!
Now on to more serious matters…
My Anna Banana took a serious spill on the stairwell this past Saturday night and ended up with a bloody mouth, swollen lip, bruised upper gums and a loose tooth. And a very scared and sad mama. After holding Anna and holding an ice pack to her mouth (and having her chew up some tylenol tabs) for an hour or so, she wanted to go to bed as she was tired in the first place. My heart sank when while I was holding her, wiping her tears she looked up at me and said "Mama, I wish that wouldn’t have happened to me…" By Sunday she was feeling better and was able to eat soft foods just fine and today, well, she announced to me that her mouth feels good enough to eat a chewy granola bar -
That is great news to this mama’s ears :)
