I almost re-entered the real world

I had a brush with the 40-hour workweek this past week. The idea of it held a lot of appeal. And a lot of dread. The biggest con for me taking a full-time job would be losing my time with Devin. I almost couldn’t bear it. Yet parents everywhere are […]

Doing my part for the planet, sort of

Maggie’s turn for a photo I have such good intentions sometimes, but my brain doesn’t always cooperate. I recently bought four or five reusable bags from our local grocery store and proudly carted home my purchases. Yet since then, I’ve made probably four or five trips to get groceries and […]

I need that smile right now

I’m exhausted. I’ve been coughing nearly non-stop for the past week. I can now relate to what Devin must go through with his horrible coughing spells. I cough so hard that my lungs and my head just ache. And I’m just perpetually tired. I’m trying not to whine. It’s just […]

Under the (spring) weather

Don’t ya love those wispy things attached to the sedum? I don’t think I’ve touched my camera in a week. Devin came down with the bug on Sunday and was sick for two days. Then I came down with it and was sick for two days. Then Scott got it […]

Uh, duh!

Do you ever have moments when something just clicks and you’re like, Why did I not think of this before? It’s so very, very obvious! No? Well, I have no trouble admitting these moments happen to me on a fairly regular basis. I’m not hiding my flaws here. So my […]

The grip is gotten

I mentioned a few weeks ago that I was feeling a bit blue again. That my medication wasn’t the miracle it had initially seemed to be. That things were swinging up and down. In the weeks that followed, down was the main direction. So I consulted with my doc and […]

How behind the times am I?

I’m probably the last person on Earth to get one of these things. And I even picked the smallest one there is. Yeah, the iTouch would have been cooler, but my main motivation for this purchase was to have some tunes while I was running. The rest of the day […]

To organic or not to organic

The world is a different place today, isn’t it? I’m all for it, true. I believe in recycling and am fairly rabid about it, I use green cleaners, I buy and eat healthy foods, I shop locally whenever I can. But sometimes it makes me crazy. The good stuff that […]

Slappity slap

So it’s Super Bowl Sunday and I’m upstairs updating my blog while the hubby is watching the game solo. I just don’t care about either team enough, I guess. I did, however, partake in the food portion of the event. I mixed up some chicken nachos. They were darn good, […]

Highs and lows

Target makes me crazy. I go in for a few things and I always come out with way more. That place sucks the money right out of my wallet, sock monkey slipper by sock monkey slipper. Although my new purchase cheers me on many levels, I’m not feeling very sunshiney […]
