Just trying to keep things in perspective

December 7, 2011

Tonight there was: Hamburger Helper and microwaved broccoli that I called dinner. Phones within reach, in case of an important phone call, text or email.

Biting my lip

December 5, 2011

My lips are dry and sore. I bite them because I’m nervous and on edge and just a wee bit stressed out lately and that makes them dry and then I bite them because they are dry.  “Quit biting your lip,” I can hear my father saying as he’d tap my chin to remind me. [...]

Weekends were made for this

November 30, 2011

A Sunday afternoon earlier this month.   Finding joy and happiness in the simplest of things.  Like a game of hopscotch.  And learning to jump.  When the weather was cool but not cold.

Guest Post at Taming Insanity – Creating Memories… or Not.

October 25, 2011

Ahh… Remember when I was in my late third trimester, putting all the finishing touches on my pregnancy and waiting for my delivery date?  Remember when I only had one baby to chase around, snuggle in my arms and kiss her boo-boos?  Remember when I started feeling guilty that she would never remember her 17 short months [...]

I’m back… but not really

September 28, 2011

So, I’m back.  If you read yesterday’s post and you’re wondering about the meeting… I think it went well.  I never know where the line is between talking about me and talking about my job.
