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 →
Healthy cooking for one, please…
I've been cooking for one a lot recently and that's something I struggle with sometimes. It's funny to me how sometimes, it's so easy and then other times... not so much. Oh, I don't struggle so much with the cooking part as I do with the planning part... What do I cook? How do... 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 →
Refocusing on my health
So last September, I found out that my cholesterol was high. The doctor immediately wanted to put me on medication to get it under control. I had feared this for a while. It's in my genes. No chemicals for me, please. I didn't want to take any pills. No chemicals for me, please. I had... 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 →
Cinderella, Breakfast Tacos, and more
This weekend I took my mom to see DD’s performance in Cinderella. It was wonderful and of course, she was beautiful. She amazes me every day. Her bravery, her talent, her determination. 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 →
The Snooze Button
I don’t know about you, but I have a love/hate relationship with the snooze button. And you throw in Daylight Savings time and UGH! What do you do with your snooze button time? Do you use it for a few extra minutes of sleep? Or maybe you use it to slowly wake up. Or maybe... 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!!
Busy little bee
I have been a busy little bee this weekend. I had a wonderful lunch with a dear friend I haven't really seen for several years. It was a three-hour lunch date! It was so nice to catch up with one another again. I had really missed our friendship so I am really glad we are... Continue Reading →
