Weeknight Evenings

House a mess Barely see the countertop A preschooler’s lunch to pack and little one hopefully asleep Present for charity basket at work to buy –out to Walmart on a cold night Long day at work tomorrow S.O.S. box to put away New software not working and emails to write Pull the covers over my [...]

Happy Thanksgiving

The days have wound around again to another Thanksgiving.  The boys are still in bed, and I have the eggs boiling for deviled eggs.  Had Tday supper with Mom and crew last night and are not expected at Kitty’s until this evening, so not sure what we will do today. I have so much to [...]

If you didn’t do anything wrong, then don’t act like you did.

Be Bold!

Pre-Party Stress

We are having a family gathering for E’s birthday on Sunday, and I can already feel the pre-party stress settle in.  I look around at all the things that need to be done around the house and just shake my head.  And that’s just the regular housekeeping stuff and none of the extra party tasks.

Two Something Awfuls Happened Today

I hit a cat today; it was awful.  Not only did a hit a cat, which is bad enough, but it was someone’s pet.  What can you say.  There is nothing I can do or say to make that better.  I wasn’t speeding, talking on the phone, or distracted with the kids.  It just darted [...]
