Some of you know that PT and I took a little detour a few weeks ago. We escaped the normal routine of our lives and landed in a couple of awe inspiring locations. He happened to be working. Me? Not … Continue reading
Today my Great Uncle Frank is being remembered and honored for the wonderful man that he was. After 94 years he decided to leave our “physical” earth to scatter mischief in the bounties of Heaven. I honestly do not know … Continue reading
This is what I saw when I opened my Kindle last summer to quickly check on an email I was expecting. You read that right, a YEAR ago! You know what I am talking about…..those brief ads that Amazon forces … Continue reading
I was totally flabbergasted over a recent headline on the Huffington Post: “Why do your kids allergies mean my kid can’t have a birthday?” Seriously…… do people really believe this crap? I was a little late joining the party on … Continue reading
It is never easy to lose a loved one, whether it be a family member or dear friend. This past year I have been witness to way more visitations and funerals than I cared to attend. Friends grieving over parents … Continue reading
After countless emails asking to see our newest addition, I thought I would do a quick post and let you all see our baby. All I can say is, it had been a long time coming! The boys had begged … Continue reading
This morning I am moving B into his new home up in Toledo. I didn’t know how to mark this passage in time…just new I wanted to do something. I have no idea how I will even give it to … Continue reading
The longer I am pulled away from this blog, the harder I am finding it to sit down and write something meaningful. I don’t know why, but nothing feels right lately. There is so much on my mind and so much to say, but I just draw a blank when I sit down to type. I have numerous draft posts started and somehow can’t finish them…..basically scrapping them all! It’s not like I haven’t been doing anything! I have many recipes and projects to share, just can’t get my act together.
So much has happened this past quarter (I am a bean counter and everything is done in quarters!!), yet nothing has happened at all. My oldest has graduated from high school and is about ready to leave for college! We added a new addition to our household at the start of the summer! We have gone on a short vacation with an amazing family! I have started and finished a number of household projects! Others I have started… waiting to be finished. Yet when I sit down in front of the computer, I draw a blank on putting my thoughts and emotions onto ‘paper’.
All of this self-indulging talk today is for me to admit….it’s not you, it’s me! I know…..I know…..it sounds like a line from relationship breaking up! I swear it is not! I have received some amazing emails from all of you, either asking for help on a certain project, or just asking when I will be posting anything new! Keep them coming….I love emails, answering your questions, and helping you out! I promise this long distance relationship has been a drag for me, and I can’t wait to get my act together and get back at it. I miss all of you!! Until then, I am doing my best each day and trying to forget about the word balance because sometimes it just doesn’t exist. You totally agree with me, don’t ya??
I will talk to you all soon, but in the meantime….take care, and if you have any questions or comments, give me a shout out or email me. It might take a couple of days, but I do answer EVERYTHING!
I am not alone when I say my world stopped in its track Friday afternoon when I learned of the horrific news coming from Newtown, CT! Having 2 precious boys of my own, and both P and I working in … Continue reading
What Does it Feel Like to Have Cancer ~ Part 3 {Final} Yesterday was a very rough day for most of us. 9/11 brings out so many emotions in all of us. I know exactly where I was when the … Continue reading
I hope everyone is up for round #2. You won’t hurt my feelings if you delete or ignore this, I completely understand. I am doing this for me, not you. Each word I write is a seed being planted, waiting … Continue reading
My deadline has arrived. I know that you all have been on the edges of your seats waiting for this post. Yes, get a grip! Most of you won’t even read this, and I don’t blame you. It is depressing … Continue reading
It is an absolutely gorgeous day today! I was able to roll over, open my eyes, look at the clock, and “oh shit crap”……we are going to be late for school/work!! How does this happen? Did I shut the alarm without realizing … Continue reading
