Giving the kids something to talk about in therapy.
Today I came face to face with the reality that I am wasting my time. A friend was crowing about her good news that she was hired for a freelance piece for a major publication, and they were paying her $2 a word for an 800 word article. Do the math. That’s $1600. That’s almost... Continue Reading →
After a full day of running around town, I came home to a blissfully empty house. The kids were still at their dad's, Mr. W and Frizz were off on some father-son adventure, and the house was totally silent. Aaaah. It gave me the much needed time to write out the Father's Day cards to... Continue Reading →
I mean, could there be a better combination? First off, I received two very exciting packages this week. There were two different pairs of shoes that I fell in love with on the David's Bridal website. The first pair you already saw. These ones I ordered quickly while I waited for Taz to finish up...

We had our first premarital counseling session today. I have to admit, I was nervous about starting this. I figured the pastor would begin by asking us if we were having premarital sex, give us a failing grade, then tell us to come back when we've decided to take this seriously. Or, I was afraid...

There's a moment in between the biggest fight of our life week and the time when we'll make up when it's realized I may have been insane. This is the only explanation as to why I chose to purposely make up my bed on the couch to avoid sleeping with someone who got mad because... Continue Reading →
I believe I bit off more than I can chew this week. I'd planned for this week, as you'll remember from my meal planning post. I knew that it would be crazy busy. But I thought I could handle it all plus cooking dinner for the family. And for the first couple of days I... Continue Reading →
This morning I packed myself a good, healthy lunch. I made my usual two-egg breakfast, each wrapped in a corn tortilla. I put some cherries in a container. And for lunch I had the meat off of two chicken thighs and 1/4 of a potato. I ate each container of food at their regularly scheduled... Continue Reading →
The husband of one of my Facebook friends passed away this last week from a sudden heart attack. Death happens. It's an inevitable part of life that we're known to understand from the very beginning. But when it happens so quickly, it's a really hard truth to swallow. In the case of my FB friend... Continue Reading →
Mr. W and I have taken to switching off weeks for cooking dinner. At first it seemed like it might be overwhelming, but it's proved to be a brilliant plan. We might have to spend 7 days in a row cooking every single night, but the next 7 nights we get to be blissfully served... Continue Reading →
The latest rage in books, 50 Shades of Gray (or is it 'Grey'?), was typed out using a Blackberry. While this post will be slightly less blush-worthy, I am not in front of my computer. So this post will be completely typed out using my iPhone. Today was the Taz' last day of school. The... Continue Reading →
