The Next Chapter Begins

Hello, friends!  I've made a little leap here at Average Everyday Super Woman: I've moved the operation from Blogger over to WordPress to have a bit more control over things and take them in a bit of a different creative direction.  Thanks for joining me! It's once again been a while since my last post, …

I’ve Been Thinking…

So, it's been a really, REALLY long time since my last post. Wow. I'm so sorry you guys!All I can say is that life as a single, full-time working mom with two growing, busy kids was much busier than I imagined. The "down time" I did have went by in a heartbeat and was better …

why

Things are not looking good for IUI attempt #3. And, to be honest, I'm genuinely surprised this time. Which only makes it hurt that much worse. I've felt like I was pregnant, since about a week after IUI. My breasts - normally small and normal - have been HUGE (for me) and painful since then, …

keeping safe our children

This morning at the Super Family's church, a class was held for the younger aged kids and their parents on keeping the kids' bodies safe. I was happy to see that the family ministry committee makes this a focus of their teachings because it's such a critical topic to address - and keep addressing - …

a fond farewell to the old and celebration of the new

Reading back through the past few months of my posts here on AESW, it's become completely and embarrassingly apparent to me that I've been utterly - and probably OVERLY - focused on writing about just one aspect of my life. (And, in case anyone has been away from the planet since, oh, September, and missed …

wondering

Hello and Happy Holidays, friends!I'm so sorry for not posting lately. I've had a lot - A LOT - going on in the past two weeks. My stress level has been inordinately high, too, but that's another story for another time. And, really, I'm sure many of you have experienced higher-than-usual levels of stress lately, …

where did it go?

I'm referring to 2009. Seriously - where the heck did it go? Honestly, I was just starting to get the hang of writing "2009" on checks and correspondence, and now I'm mere weeks from having to start all over again with 2010. Maybe that'll catch on a bit quicker for me. Then again... It seems …

My Grampa

November is such a bittersweet month for me each year. Generally speaking, on the one hand, it marks the end of the comparatively warm, bright days of early fall and sets the stage for the onslaught of the long, cold, snowy, miserable winter, which I find utterly depressing. On the other hand, it marks the …

So Disorganized…

Ack. Ack! ACK!!!I feel like a chicken with my head cut off this week. It's not that I've had a lot of scheduled obligations for the week. Matter of fact, this week was actually quite light on those, for a change. No, what's got my feathers ruffled is the next 3 days of life in …

Ain’t Life Grand?

Today, I turned 35!My day started much as it does every other day, with Super Man waking me with a kiss. He then invited me to join him downstairs to open my card from him. Inside the beautiful card was a separate sheet of paper, folded. And inside that was the secret itinerary for my …
