Last week I did a "Wonderful Wednesday" post reminding me how wonderful life is with all its many blessings. I think I'll keep it up for a while so here we go! My DH is home! He got home last Wednesday and I am ever so thankful! He has been amazing. He helped me with all... Continue Reading →
Wonderful Wednesday
I have continued to struggle with The Blues ... A LOT, so I decided to dub today Wonderful Wednesday as a day of counting my wonderful blessings. So ... here we go! My family - They may be spread out, and I might not get to see them often enough, but they are mine and they... Continue Reading →
The Blues
The blues. Sometimes, they just sneak up on me. Does that ever happen to you? I think I must be really good at hiding it, even from myself. I tell myself, oh, I’m just lazy, just tired, what do I have to be blue about? I can even still tell jokes and be quite funny... Continue Reading →
For The Birds
Once again, let me just say, this empty nest thing… it’s for the birds. I’m over it. Time for a recall! I need my kids to move home. Oh, they don’t have to live with me, or even live in the same town! My dream would be within an or two so that I could... Continue Reading →
Good News for this Momma’s heart
Last week, I shared that my DS would be deploying soon but he has found out that he is NOT deploying for now! He is scheduled for a school later this year and it’s just not worth it to send him for just a couple of months, I guess. So, for this momma’s heart, it... Continue Reading →

I ask myself all the time, “How did YOU raise kids like this?” They are both just amazing people.She didn’t have a lot... Continue Reading →
Feeling the Empty-nest
Oh my. So much to say. Let’s just start with how I’m not totally digging this empty-nest thing right now. Oh, I don’t mind the empty-nest as much I mind the distance between my kids and me. Once again, I’m asking myself what I was thinking, raising such independent kids!!
More Empty than usual
So my nest has been more empty than usual. DH has been on the road. It's been so quiet here! In some ways it's been really nice and other ways... well, I prefer to be alone all day and then have him come home to me in the evenings. I finished 2 series on Netflix,... Continue Reading →
Happy Empty Nesters?
Yesterday was such a lovely day. Both DH and I had tons of work to do. Usually, we go our separate ways to do our work. He goes upstairs to his work area and I go downstairs but yesterday, we decided to sit together to do our work separately. It made for a lovely day... Continue Reading →
Silence
Oh my, I have been silent on here for way too long. I guess I just got busy. This empty nest thing has been okay. Oh, I miss my kiddos every day but I'm surviving and even thriving. We had a wonderful holiday season. It went by much too quickly. We all gathered about an... Continue Reading →
