Well, here we are. Five days into 2011 and I am finally getting to my computer. I had big plans. My goals for work, school, housework, and this blog were all spelled out in my January 1 journal entry. I had my running shoes on and I was just waiting for the starting gun, i.e. [...]

Note: This is a recycled post, the second in a series while I take a journal-blogging break. I hope you enjoy the off-topic jaunt. Silly Mommy, trips are for kids! May 10, 2009 Funny how memory works. We swear we will never take both kids to the grocery store right after school, then we do again… [...]

Recycling my babble for Earth Day

Posted in Writing & Career, tagged , , on April 23, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

In honor of Earth Day I am going to do some recycling. Not my #2 plastics – I do that everyday (unless there’s too much gooey peanut butter stuck and then the jar sits on my counter “soaking” for a few weeks until I get sick of it and just chuck it. So sue me.) [...]

Gratitude, even while leaning over the bowl

Posted in Journaling Techniques & Prompts, Thinking Positively, tagged , , , on February 2, 2010 | Leave a Comment »

I believe in gratitude. I try to be thankful for everything, to find something to be thankful for even in the midst of a blitz of ugh. I won’t deny this is very hard for me. I love to complain. Love it! Too cold, too humid, too hungry, too tired, too poor, too, too, too. [...]

Just asking

Posted in Life, Home & Community, tagged , on December 13, 2008 | 5 Comments »

Why is it…1. After you spend 20 minutes stuffing your children into their five layers of winter clothing, hats, mittens, and boots, they stay outside for exactly 2.2 minutes? And then after peeling them back out of it all, leaving a puddle of melted snow and ice on the rug (in which you step in [...]

Posted in In my Humble Opinion, tagged on August 28, 2008 | 4 Comments »

Because he’s afraid of a squirrel. Huh? Yeah, I don’t get it either.

Sweaty Puppy: An argument against co-sleeping

Posted in Life, Home & Community, tagged , , on August 20, 2008 | 2 Comments »

I like to sleep, no, I love to sleep. Our 22-month old has been sleeping in his crib since he grew out of his co-sleeper at 4 months old (yes, he was a “healthy” baby). Last night, whether due to a bad dream or questionable cup of milk, he could not be consoled by the [...]

Just another trip to the grocery store

Posted in Life, Home & Community, tagged , , on August 11, 2008 | 1 Comment »

Every single freakin’time I swear I AM NOT doing this again… and then I do. Could I possibly still have pregnancy brain two years after the birth of my second child? Apparently, a woman’s brain shrinks up to 5% during pregnancy and does not retain its original size until six months after birth. Why would [...]
