Turning Point – The First Day
There is no better way to introduce it or say it than to just do it: The Fab Hub has a brand new job!!! Woo hoo! Hooray! And thank the Lord! It’s exactly what he needs to make this break into the world of IT. It’s the door we have been hoping would open. I…
Wordless Wednesday – In the Storm
I just saw and heard this song over on Essie’s blog and I had to borrow it for myself. I’m not sure any words could be more perfect right now.
TToT – Tentative and Ambivalent
I’m having a bit of trouble with my list of thankfuls this week. It’s not that I don’t have things for which I am thankful. I do. But I’m feeling kind of ambivalent about a few of them. I thought about skipping this week, since I couldn’t quite get my brain around it, but then…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Final Recap
Well, we’re here. We’re finished. OK, maybe we’re not ever going to be finished. It’s not like we’re going to do a huge Clean and Purge and then just…not. But this long-awaited and much-need effort has reached its end. From this point forward we are on the maintenance program. And there is good reason for…
The Great Clean and Purge Project – Week Five Update
We’re getting down to the nitty gritty now, folks. And some of it is pretty gritty. But remember that we’re talking deep clean, here. Like a major spring cleaning on steroids. This week, the BIG tackle was the stovetop and the oven. That was a major job, but after various stages of the process spread…
TToT – Busy, Tired, and Satisfied
Emerson said, “A man is relieved and gay when he has put his heart into his work and done his best, but what he has said or done otherwise shall give him no peace.” We have had a busy week. We have poured our hearts into our work and the sense of satisfaction, coupled with…
When Life Gets in the Way – A Preamble
Two years ago, my Husband and I halfheartedly talked about considering a new start. Perhaps one or both of us were ready to think about looking for something new, something that would allow us to stretch and to grow. We very tentatively started to broach the subject of what we might like to do, where we would look, and what…
TToT – Continued Progress
It doesn’t seem possible that a week has passed already. I can’t say I’m happy about how fast these days have flown. I need this summer to stretch long before us…we have a lot to do. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing this week – a lot. We’ve continued to work on our Great…
A Message
I had an overwhelming experience today. I’ve been beyond frustrated lately. Frustrated and angry and upset, really, because I just want this long period of … argh … to come to an end. Or if not an end, then just a pathway toward an end. That’s all. My funk is so thick right now that…
TToT – Dreams of Spring
I had a dream the other night. It was about eggs. Yes, eggs. I dreamt that I found two eggs fallen from a tree – miraculously unbroken – and returned them gently and safely to the nest. That was pretty much the whole thing, but it was vivid. I asked the Hub what he thought…
