Daily blog – SingingWithTheVolumeUp

Darkness

I no longer fear the darkness. As fear augments at thoughts of confinement My light shines from within. Always with love, Modo

So today I found out I have an obsessive personality. Here I go diagnosing myself again. Why you may ask? Let me tell you. When I like something I really like it! Like a lot. In sixth grade I REALLY liked this guy. He had a favorite rap song. To impress him I learned allContinue reading “Lady of Rage”

Don’t sing happy birthday to me

While in a store I saw a pretty awesome device. I said “Gosh I need to find someone to buy that for as a gift”. Someone I met just that day looked at me and said “You! You are that person; get it for yourself.” It was a quick moment. We laughed. I left. AfterContinue reading “Don’t sing happy birthday to me”

Thank you!

Slow and steady. I know my blog is small but I really appreciate all the love over the past few days! Always with love, Modo

Minute with Modo (#16): Parenting multiple kids

What I’ve learned this week from having two kids under the age of 3: 1. You will say these words A LOT: wait, sit down, No, I love you, and fine you can have it. 2 You lie often…usually about what an item is that you are putting in your mouth or about the amountContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#16): Parenting multiple kids”

Minute with Modo (#15): Time flies

Time Flies Today at dinner, while our daughter slept (parents of small children know that deserves a whoop whoop); my husband and I talked about how fast life is moving now that we have a child. After some discussion we realized time wasn’t moving faster…not at all…our time just has more meaning now. I won’tContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#15): Time flies”

Minute with Modo (#13): Do You

Do You You want to know when my husband and I fight? When one of us is trying to control the other in some way. Usually. Sure we have those typical couple fights: money, waking the baby, what do you want for dinner (why is that always such a hard question). But when I getContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#13): Do You”

Minute with Modo (#11): Dying without Passion

Dying without Passion It was a great family day with my husband and daughter. During dinner a few guys near our table got into a discussion about motorcycles and I could see my husbands smile breaking under his failed attempt to continue to discuss our daughters “cute new thing”. My husband LOVES cars and motorcycles.Continue reading “Minute with Modo (#11): Dying without Passion”

Minute with Modo (#9): Cranky Pants

Cranky Pants I was cranky today! If I am completely honest I have been cranky for a few days. The biggest indicator was my utter frustration with my daughter. I have been blessed with one of the chilliest babies ever…and I don’t say that just because she is my little bundle of joy. But theseContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#9): Cranky Pants”

Minute with Modo (#8): Collect memories not things

Collect memories not things This morning, while getting ready to leave the house my husband and I tripped over tons of stuff: parts to a bassinet that’s not being used, old magazines, and little poles to something that I have yet to figure out belong to what baby toy. In frustration the hubbs said “thereContinue reading “Minute with Modo (#8): Collect memories not things”
