But first, a picture: Ha. Did I just scare you? heh. Look what I made yesterday: It has been a crazy-busy last 5 days… oh the last 2 weeks have nearly broken this woman. But due to faith and good friends (both online and IRL) I have had lots of shoulders to cry on, have [...]
Can I Be Totally Honest?
This weekend sucked. I was going to “fluff” up the “sucked” part and be all, “This weekend was Stinky Stinkerson.” But if I wrote that, the the “totally honest” part of my title would not have been “totally honest”. It was not a weekend of illness. Nor a weekend of tragedy. Nor a weekend of [...]
The Nail Fairy?
My feet are a WRECK. Over the past 3 years I have stacked running and triathlon events in such a way that my feet have not have the opportunity to return to the intended state they were given to me. You know, 10 intact, cute-ish toes… all with nails. Not model feet, but I considered [...]

Whu? A Dad Who Never Loses His Temper.
I repeat: Whu??? A father who NEVER loses his temper??? Is he made of stone? I want to meet him to see if I were to reach-out and poke him — if my finger would pass through his mid-section. Golly, friends. This is a hard one for me. The video I am posting is of [...]
Make Me Laugh Monday – My Children Answer
That latest “rage” over there on the Facebook is this meme where one asks one’s child(ren) a list of questions about oneself. The directions say to write their EXACT answers. Can I just ask, “Why do I put myself in these situations?” SOme kids talk about all the fabulous cookie-making their moms do with them, [...]
