Not much going on in the writing department on this end. Unless you call writing tons of lists of things I need to do daily. Ugh… But it seems like we are all struggling to find some sort of balance in our lives. Just where is that light at the end of the tunnel anyway? LOL(…)
Hope everyone had a safe and Blessed Easter! I must say, it snuck up quick and quiet on me this year. I’m not sure why really. It was nice to slow down for a few days and enjoy some quaility time with the family. The New Year came and I had such great expectations for what(…)
I don’t know about you, but with the cold weather comes awful, itchy, dry skin that drives me crazy. I’ve tried all kinds of lotions and creams, but haven’t found any that help. My skin is dry to start with, so any drop in humidity and I’m miserable. My oldest daughter and I went to(…)
Spring is right around the corner. Yeah! I can hardly wait. The Purple Martins have already returned and are busy making their nest in our bird house in the back yard. Love to hear them singing in the morning and evenings. New puppy is a bit confused though. All the other birds run from(…)
I love animals. Always wanted to have a horse growing up and even lived in the country outside a small town with a population of about 7,900 when I was in 2nd-fourth grade. We had chickens and turkeys, one duck, five dogs and more cats than I could count. Oh, and one cow that thought(…)
I tried to stay away. Honest I did. LOL But I’ve found a new distraction and I’ve got my mom and oldest daughter hooked as well. Pinterest. I know the site has been around a while and there’s been some controversy about copyrights and pinning pictures, but it’s so addictive. Not to mention helpful! Mainly(…)
WARNING: Serious post here. I’m still shaken up about an incident that happened last week at our local Wal-Mart. It really hit way too close to home and got me to thinking a lot about safety. A Mom and daughter stopped at the store around 7:00 p.m. to pick up a quick birthday present on(…)
You want to see my kids act like a bunch of big ol’scaredy cats? Just let them see me coming up the stairs with the big black garbage bags. LOL Okay, I go through this organization routine, phase or obsession as my kids call it, every year about this time and it’s hit and miss(…)
First I want to wish everyone a Very Happy New Year! I don’t know about you, but I cannot get used to writing 2013. It just feels so weird. I mean, when I was little, we dreamed of having “hover cars” in the year 2000. It seemed so far away back then and now we(…)
With all the “end of the world” sillyiness, I”m so glad to see Christmas come. Just as it does every year. Like a wonderful whirlwind! LOL All the presents are finally wrapped and under the tree. Food is prepared. Travel plans made. Now to sit back and let the good times roll! To those who may(…)
