Lives look different
Pin itfrom the outside. I wonder what misgivings I’ve had about others that I’ll never know. Things are not always what they seem. Things may look easy when peering in from outside… not feeling the heat, not hearing the noise, not living in the mess. I don’t want to use the fact that I have [...]
Been awake since 3 a.m.
Pin itSo I got up at 3:30 a.m. I made a few lists, and whittled emails to 11 in my inbox… The rest require daylight, the post office, a telephone, or a wee bit more motivation… Speaking of motivation, I like this t-shirt. The birds are singing this morning. I’ve heard them lately. Their songs [...]
My Kids
Pin itIf you don’t want to read about someone else’s kids, then you may want to navigate to another website… Lucy is generating more and more words from her tiny being. Today she spoke the word “beautiful” as we walked past the flowers at the market. Granted, only her mother could tell that was the [...]
Fits

If you are a [...]

Pin itAccording to book, The Five Love Languages, the 5 love languages are: words of affirmation, quality time, gifts, acts of service, and physical touch. I want to add one… food. My kids may not be aware of it, but I think I show them love with food… baking cookies, getting donuts and hot chocolate, [...]
Awful Feeling
Pin itI just watched Grey’s Anatomy. I don’t keep up on TV much, a select show here and there… But I heard about tonight’s topic – a ferry tragedy, and curiosity got the best of me. Due to tasking (just can’tseem to do nothing while I try to sit a spell), I missed the “how” [...]

There is Rejoicing in the Land
Pin itwhen: The phone hasn’t rung once all morning (hence the absence of guilt for not answering, which is my common practice during school time), AND we’ve gotten in some good schoolin’ by noon. Go literacy! I commit to bringing food for something, and (unbeknownst to me at the time of committing to aforementioned commitment) [...]
