80 percent chance of stress. sigh.

I just took an online stress test and scored a 431. Anything over 300 means a high probability of stress-related illness. My probability was 80 percent. Is bitchiness considered a stress-related illness?  Read more >

the life of a fisherman's son. 1928-2009.

I consider myself to be a pretty thankful person. I try to mentally list all the haves in my life before I go to bed at night. It’s my own kind of prayer. My family is always right there at the top of the list, and I never forget to mention my grandparents. This was my first Thanksgiving away from home. Since I just moved to Atlanta, I made the choice to stay in the area for Thanksgiving and go to Virginia for Christmas. Until this year, I’d spent every Thanksgiving at my grandparent’s house in Virginia Beach.  Read more >

The point of jaimes is twofold: to share outtakes from my parenting life and, more importantly, to inspire moms through the images, words, and creative works of notable mamas that pretty much kick ass.

About Me: 
Mother of two. Recently moved from the South to the Dirty South. Career switcher, based on my 'I don't do cubicles' philosophy: hence, professional writer turned high school tutor turned hair salon hag turned blogger...soon to be licensed salon hag -slash- blogger. Yoga enthusiast, because regular exercise is boring and too butch for me, which makes me realize I should really try Jazzercise. Music obsessor. Songwriter of goofy tunes for an audience of two. Kitchen dancer. Heavy reader. TV watcher (Community, Parks and Recreation, Arrested Development, Always Sunny in Philadelphia, 30 Rock, Dexter, Mad Men). Positive thinker. Loyal friend. Unwelcome advice giver, as in, "have you ever considered doing yoga/writing a movie/moving across country?" or "you should totally try vitamin B for that eye twitch/chop your hair off into a pixie/write a blog!" Moved to Atlanta last summer missing all daycare opportunities for my son, as people here literally camp out to get their kid into a pre-K program. So, while my daughter is in Kindergarten, my son and I hang out and I work on my blog jaimes (pronounced James). www.byjaimes.com
