Of checklists, shopping, dust bunnies, phantom kids & wardrobe malfunctions.
Started the weekend off with great intentions to do at least one more closet clean up in preparation for the someday upcoming garage sale I want to have, and also to read the next book in my pile which I have been carrying around for about two solid weeks now without cracking open. For some [...]
Are you technophobic?
Well, you can’t be too technophobic if you are reading blogs, right? But then, that is a pretty passive activity. Surfing the internet for info or entertainment shouldn’t be too scary. What about internet shopping? Facebook? Twitter? Writing your own blog? Posting pictures on the internet of you or your family? Online banking? Heck, (and [...]
Mental Spring Cleaning
Time to brush off a little dust around here. *cough* *cough* Sorry about that. Worse than the dust accumulation in here though, is the clog in my brain from not posting! Twitter helps for those quick bursts, but man has it been hard to not go through each day thinking in terms of potential blog [...]
Late Friday beauty – is there anything better than cats with kids?
I had to capture this moment last night – Amber actually sat in someone elses lap while mine was available on the same sofa! And? They are BOTH smiling! Doesn’t get better than that does it? After 10 days of winter break, the first work week of 2011 has been survived – barely! Each [...]
How to get a 13 year old to snuggle with mom
No, you don’t have to dress in a funny blue dog suit. No, you just get the OTHER guy in the picture to remind the boy that he used to like doing that Recently, I’d noted that SportsBoy had rather subtly backed away from a few little-boyish things. Like having me read to him every [...]
Monday musings
I love when she rolls over like that So I am showing off the camera a bit. That photo was taken from about 6 feet away as I sat on the sofa. Here’s another from the same distance but with zoom: Now here is one from the other night. Low light, me sitting at the [...]
Recharging
Thankfully for myself and everyone around me, I was able to get some quality time on the sofa this weekend. Saturday’s workout kicked my ass since there were only four of us with the two trainers and I am very sore around my abs today, but as usual, it was still a good start to [...]
The thankful list + paintings
Family – though scattered around today, all are healthy and happy and safe A good man – hard to find and harder to hold onto, but I’ve managed it for another year Friends – local and scattered, August moms, C&Jers, MTers, and bloggy types. My kitties – purr babies spreading fur and love every day. [...]
Drivel
dear marcus you rocked my world — alanis morissette (Unsent) Yes, that really is a line from a song of hers. As those who know me will understand, it is yet another example of her writing being so damn perfect for me! Now, in the interest of full disclosure, here is the full stanza, but [...]
Who will win?
SweetPrince needs to call his Primary Care Physician (PCP) to get an appt and/or a referral to a dermatologist for a mole on his face that doesn’t look right to me. MusicMan needs to call his PCP to get a referral to a psychiatrist. I cannot legally handle this for either of them though I [...]
