My Bad Day Monday
Monday was kind of a bad day. Although after sitting here for a while with a cup of hot homemade soup, poking around the headlines and getting a few reminders that there are far worse things in other people’s lives than I had to deal with. Everything in perspective. Forgive me for sounding like the proverbial…

He Cooks! – Mac & Cheese Edition
Kidzilla wanted macaroni and cheese for lunch today. From a box. The kind with powder for cheese. Bleah. This is quite possibly the most disturbing meal on the planet. It has powder for cheese. Orange powder. White powder, if you get the fancy cheddar on shells variety, which is what Zilla wanted today. Either way,…

Overwhelming Abundance
Today was one of those days where there was simply too much. Too much…everything. Too much input. Too much to do, to decide, to think about. Too much expectation. Too much lack of sleep. Too many books on the “gotta read that list”, piles of “I really gotta put that away” in the house, vegetables…

Unexpected Joys
Running late for church on Sunday, Kidzilla and I were rushing to get ready. Fab Husband took her ahead to get her situated in the car seat. Suddenly, with panic in her voice, she hollered from the front door, “Dadda! My purse!” I hollered back, “I’ve got it,” and headed out the door behind them.…

Where Does This Go?
Eight and a half years of marriage (or 60-ish if you ask Fab Husband), six years in our current home…and my Husband still has no idea where we keep things. (I, on the other hand, am expected to know the precise location of every item in the house, regardless of ownership of said item.) I…

Say…Anything!
I got nothin’. That’s not true. I have fifteen thousand ideas swirling around in my head. (Think I’m kidding? I’m not.) I have dozens – maybe hundreds – of untold stories just waiting for the opportunity to be warmed by the light of the laptop screen. I even have about sixteen started drafts waiting to…

The Sweetest Day
Ever have one of those days when against all odds or expectations, the day just turns out really great? Love that. Today was one of those days. Really unremarkable for any reason except that I was surprised by sweetness several times over.

Big Girls Don’t Cry…Or Do They?
I had about nine other things I thought I wanted to talk about today, but scrapped them all. My head is stuck in one particular place, and since it’s all I can think about, I’m going with it. I can’t decide if I’m angry or sad or a little bit of both. Probably that. Some…

A Perfect Fourth
When I first wake up, before I hit an upright position, I only open one eye. I’m not sure why, but it happens every morning without fail. It could be physiological. It could be because I live with a Kidzilla and Three Rotten Cats. Perhaps my subconscious brain intuitively knows that under such circumstances, keeping one eye open…

So Now What?
So now I have this site. This blog. This thing. Now what in the world am I supposed to do with it? I have spent more hours than I wish to divulge reading about “how to” write a blog. There are pages upon pages of suggestions, formulas, guides, rules of etiquette and such that provide lots of…
