Giving up Gadgets. Again.
Okay. I know, I know. I’ve done this before but this time….well, this time – it’s sticking. I know I struggle with spending too much time with my face stuck in front of one kind of screen or another. I love gadgets of all kinds and the technology really is amazing. (Especially considering I learned how… Continue reading

The One I Don’t Want to Write
I lost 50lbs. We moved almost a year ago. I gained 8 lbs. The hubbs deployed. Then 12 lbs more creeped on. Old habits resurfaced. I thought I had this. I thought it was “under control”. My eating has not been on point – completely hit and miss. My exercise – meh. I’ve done some little… Continue reading

Poopy McPoopersons
Like most people, the reality of having kids is far different than the vision I once held of what parenthood would or should look like. Take my day, for example. (Or any day, really. I’m at the tail end of a months-long Groundhog Day!) It started out like most of our days, kids up, I… Continue reading

An Experiment
I’ve noticed lately that more often than not, I am saying “No.” to the kids. All the time. Or I’m saying “not right now”, “later”, “in a minute”, etc. I don’t want to be that mom. The negative mom that you hear in the store that sounds angry, hurried and just bothered by being a… Continue reading

Bear with me….
I am in the midst of making a transition – from Blogger to WordPress. Based on reviews and blogs I read – WordPress seems like a better option for me and my little ‘ol blog. Plus, Google/Blogger has a limit on images and I had reached that limit. If I wanted to continue – I… Continue reading

I get these crazy ideas and then halfway through I am wondering what the heck I was thinking when I thought whatever it is I’m doing was a good idea. Today was a classic example. It usually begins with a day with nothing planned. Hmmm, what can we do today? Ah! I know! Let’s put… Continue reading

I am Woman… Part 2
Along with doing such man jobs as changing the oil, terminating spiders, and rewiring car stereos, I decided to put the “lift kit” on Jacob’s bed! While this may be a decision I will regret, I have to say its been pretty fun so far. Jacob and Hannah both have been following the “rules of… Continue reading

Adult Friends
Finding friends when you are 5 is relatively easy, requiring minimal social skills. “Hey! Wanna play!?” “Okay!” And off you go skip-idee-doo-dah with your new bestie! Not so much when you are 35. At 35, you find friends in other ways, through work, church, your spouse’s friends’ wives, etc. and through these avenues it affords… Continue reading

The Things I Do….
It has been said that “If you are interested, you’ll do what’s convenient. If you’re committed, you’ll do whatever it takes.” That pretty much sums it up for me lately, today in particular. I do what it takes to get a run in whenever I can. I started the day with a massage this morning… Continue reading

The Halloween That Wasn’t
It all started so great. 5:30am, Jake is awake and trying to wake up Hannah. I lean over and whisper “Happy Halloween!!” And he exclaims, “Oh Yeah!” And then excitedly asks to put on his crocodile costume! Sure it’s, 5:30 am, but knock yourself out! By this time Hannah is tearing down the hall looking… Continue reading
