Anxiety?
Life is busy. And I think I need to go on anti-anxiety medication. I don’t really feel that bad I don’t think, but I find that I am not sleeping well and I have this general undercurrent of discomfort in my life. I am a quick […]

Denial and Control: Coping 101
I’ll say one thing for family stress… it’s great for my house. When I feel like I don’t have control and something is upsetting me… I tend to focus on something I can control. Like the mess in my house. Organizing something gives me the illusion of control. […]

Instant Gratification Baby!
I do get some sense of pride in the way I parent my kids. I feel I do a pretty good job. I am clear, concise and consistent with directions and instructions. My kids understand consequences – both positive and negative – come as a direct result of […]

Somedays you feel like a fat graceless whale
Wanna hear something funny?
I fell on the ice in the parking lot of a very large and very busy store today.
This is funny because I’m sure I looked like a big fat elephant falling flat on my ass. My friend was with me…and she was very sympathetic… But geesh…that’s humiliating.
And now […]

A thin sexy black number….
I have a cell phone that is still getting a discounted plan from a company I used to work for. What I love about this plan is that it has an almost nonexistent monthly fee. A fee you can’t get somewhere else. I’ve had it for years. […]

Emma’s Sanibel Story
Emma is into writing stories lately. She’s quite good. She wrote this very involved story about a dog named Sanibel and her four kids. Problem is… she named each of the puppies the following:
Sanibel Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr. Jr.
Sanibel Jr. Jr. Jr. Jr.
Her father suggested to her this morning that perhaps the story would […]

I love the holidays
I love the holidays!
Today I got to sleep in. No waking up at 7am to take the kids to school. I had the most perfect cup of coffee with a couple of Christmas Cookies my neighbor gave me yesterday. I spent the morning […]

Peace Bringer
This morning on the Today Show Maya Angelou was on. There was a profound moment for me when Maya was talking about peace. She extolled to Katie Couric that she should be a peace “bringer” not just a peacemaker. That we owe it to ourselves to not only bring […]

The almost mistake
This morning started very early for me. I heard some jumping around downstairs and it woke me up. My mind immediately went to two things: 1. It’s Christmas Eve and the kids are going to be so excited…that must be what I’m hearing! And then 2. […]

Spirtual Gifts
We had a really great Christmas. Peaceful. The kids have been really pleasant this vacation. And I have been really introspective the past few days about what I want to do with my time next year.
For the last three years, my life has been a series […]

I can count on my body to let me down…
If there is one thing I can count on this life it is that my body will let me down time and time again. I have put on a few pounds and so I’ve been trying to watch what I eat. I’ve cut back on my sugar addiction; I’ve been […]

We are going bowling tonight with friends. Do you know how much bowling is going to set back this family of five? $50 not counting snacks or dinner or drinks. I better get $50 worth […]

Scrapbooking
It’s 12:35am and I am scrapbooking. I’ve been on quite a tear scrapbooking lately. I’d almost say driven. Driven not just to finish for the sake of being finished. Driven not just to create something beautiful. Driven not just to create for the sake of creating. […]
