Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 16 Jul 19

Summer is in full swing here. Most of the evenings and Saturday mornings consist of the kids sports, either practices or games. The days are in need of activities. Household chores are taken care of each day to keep things...

I’m melting

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 5 Jul 19

The past few days have been very warm and humid here. Today was the worst. We hit 88F, which isn’t so bad, but it felt like 109F. Our air conditioner has been running almost nonstop this afternoon. Thankfully, it’s chugging...

It’s been a while

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 4 Jun 19

I haven’t had time or motivation to post here for months. A lot has happened in my household, but I’ll just touch on the major points. I got the job I applied for last fall. I was being trained to take over the bookkeeping, but...

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 23 Nov 18

Since September, I have now had 4 dental appointments. The first was the emergency appointment to make a plan for what was causing me pain. The second appointment was to fix the issue. The third and fourth were for cleanings as I...

Later isn’t an option anymore

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 19 Oct 18

Lately I have been having to ensure things are done when I notice they need doing. Waiting isn’t much of an option now that I am working out of the home. While my schedule isn’t full time(yet), available time to complete such...

Today was a great day! When the alarm went off, it was going to be a normal day. Get the kids ready and off to school. Spend the rest of the day at home puttering around while waiting to go get the kids. For some reason my phone...

When your kids announce it to the world

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 19 Sep 18

I rarely wear make up. I tend to stay home or close to it, sometimes only leaving to bring my kids to and from school. Today I had an opportunity to go to an employment workshop. I figured I would do my makeup. I had to go...

Spent some time at the clinic.

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 13 Sep 18

I had a tooth break and filling fall out last month. It has been uncomfortable but I dealt with it. I am pretty sure the remainder has cracked in half. Well, the last few days pain has been worse and this morning the swelling...

Today I started a project I have wanted to do for a while now. The cream colored carpet that was in our hone when we moved in is showing it’s age. It was so hard to keep clean, especially with young children. We knew there was...

A reality check

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 8 Sep 18

Now that the kids are back to school, momma needs to start looking for some part time work. To prepare for the job hunt, I found the file containing my resumé. It needed to be updated. Actually, it probably needs a complete...

I did my civic duty

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 7 Jun 18

After dropping off the kids at school, I headed out to the polls. Today is Election Day in Ontario. Unfortunately, when voting, it seems to be that the choices offered are vastly different and not all good. I am pretty nervous...

What my girl did

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 2 May 18

My eldest daughter has been growing her hair for several years now. It was long and thick. Taking care of it was taking a toll. I finally convinced her to get it cut. She wanted a trim, but I bribed her with pink streaks to go...

My new toy

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 15 Jan 18

I really had no idea these things existed and never actually used a manual one either, but these seem to have gained some popularity. I don’t tend to follow fads or trends, so I wasn’t that desperate to get one. It’s an electric...

It’s been a long Christmas break

Suzanne @Morethanamom (1948) • Canada 6 Jan 18

My kids have been off school since just before Christmas. This has meant a big adjustment to all of our routines. My gym added kids programs during the day so I could still do a few classes, but the deep freeze we have been...
