Mamavation Monday: Are You Ready for #TheVoiceOfKat Again?? :)

March 4, 2012, by Kat Robertson 165 views | 12 comments

We moved to Georgia, just outside the city of Atlanta, back in July of last year. In November, my parents moved in with us… so this time, I don’t have to figure out who will take care of my kids while I’m away. My mom is here and doesn’t work… so this time, it’s perfect. I got the email from NBC this morning informing me that The Voice casting calls are coming back to Atlanta next month and I immediately got butterflies in my stomach — not from nervousness, but from excitement.

I asked myself, “Am I ready for #TheVoiceOfKat again?” And, yes. I am!

There are MANY forms of bullying and bullying doesn’t just happen in grade school. It happens in college. It happens at home. It happens in the workplace. It happens among adults in social settings. The victims aren’t the only ones who need help, though. Bullies often act as aggressors to feel powerful in situations they can control because they experience ongoing feelings of inadequacy or have been put in situations in which they themselves could not gain control over a situation in which they were treated negatively.

Fibromyalgia: A Long Road to Comfort

As you all know, I’ve been battling the symptoms and limitations of Fibromyalgia for nearly 20 solid years. I was diagnosed in the latter part of 1992 and have written about my experiences with the disease a few times since I started blogging not long after our 12-year-old daughter was born. Over the last few months, I’ve shared my fears and frustrations as my symptoms have gotten worse and I’ve grown more dependent on those around me when I have flare-ups. I finally decided to see a doctor back in September and got two prescriptions — Voltarin and Lortab. The Voltarin I honestly never took and the Lortab upsets my stomach so I would take half of one when I just couldn’t stand the pain anymore …

Parental Alienation Syndrome: Points to Ponder

February 7, 2012, by Kat Robertson 307 views | 8 comments

There is nothing more harmful to a child than to be in the middle of a never-ending raging war between their parents. When a child is made to feel as though they must choose between two parents or when a child is purposely alienated from one parent by the other, the best interests of that [...]

As you all know by now, I’ve never been very enthusiastic about television. With five children, it’s always been rather difficult to watch anything from start to finish. As the kids are getting older, however, I’m getting back into enjoying TV as a regular form of entertainment. Since Barry got me a new DLP cinema [...]
