You know the only people who are always sure about the proper way to raise children? Those who've never had any.
-- Bill Cosby
They say confession is good for the soul. It has been for mine.
I hope that my revelations here are encouraging and healing for yours, too.
Parenting is a tough gig. It’s why some species eat their young.
But the rewards … well, there’s nothin’ like them. They’re just few and far between sometimes. And the dry spells can seem longer than a two-year-old’s temper tantrum in the middle of Walmart.
Going it alone can send a weary parent careening over the brink of insanity.
You can count on me to be here with you, blogging away, just as long as my kids keep driving me to my knees.
Plan to tune in for a very long time.









Hey, welcome to blogging! And especially welcome to blogging about parenting mayhem!! :)
ReplyDeleteMelinda, So, I guess this is therapy? We need virtual chocolate... Thanks for taking the time to do this... We should make this interactive with our girls in light of the upcoming luncheon... I'll enjoy following your son's tardy record at school... Somehow I'm not surprised.
ReplyDeleteHugs, A
Enjoyed the blog. Good humor and great writing.
ReplyDeleteI'm sure others will enjoy it too!

Melinda,
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed reading your posts...oh, how I can relate to the whole "entitlement" thing...someone taking "your" seat. Well, just this afternoon some man took "my" place at the gas pump. Can you believe his audacity?
Love both your sense of humor and your authenticity.
P.S. I'm a new blogger too.
Sweet dreams,
Deb
Melinda, loving your blog and btw I love your blog name! Keep posting =D
ReplyDeleteUmm hello? I actually just got mad that I scrolled down and realized I was at the beginning of your blog and the end of my reading. Love your work because I think you really put a tape recorder in my house to get your stuff....Can't wait to read more!
ReplyDeleteTangled Utopia,
ReplyDeleteSo glad you found my blog ... sorry I made you mad! I'll get writing more posts pronto! ;0)
And, you know, I think we can believe we're the only ones going through all this parenting angst and madness until we hear others talk about their family struggles and it all sounds strangely familiar! Hoping this can be a community where we can all laugh about it and encourage one another. Glad your "Following!"
Melinda
