I believe that children give us clues to their personality even before they are born. Some babies are active others are more still. Some are born screaming and others are quiet. My oldest, once she finally decided to start breathing, started screaming. That lasted until, well she’s still loud. My [...]
Where have I been? Mostly lazy and bored. I did manage a trip to Bryce Mountain so we could throw ourselves down a mountain redneck style. It was fun.
It got really cold when the sun went down.
That was more fun. The snow turned to ice and the lanes were fast.

Not too long after I met MyHusband he stopped by my desk to tell me he was going home for the night. Then he asked me if I wanted the rest of his M&Ms. I told him goodnight and thank you, and wondered why his friend was grinning like a Cheshire cat.

Quite awhile back I put the first part of this. For some reason it’s been getting a lot of search traffic the last month or so. Every time I see the page title show up in my logs I wish I had either not posted it or posted the whole thing. It just feels like [...]
This morning I stood in the kitchen making breakfast for the girls. My youngest was playing singstar on the Playstation. I watched as she shouted out the words to “We’re Not Going to Take It”. She jumped on the step stool and danced like someone who had nothing loose. She shook her [...]
It’s happened before, that feeling of impending demise. A lost feeling. The need to run, or fight, or scream until the anxiety leaves. It’s been awhile. Last night I went to bed early but didn’t sleep. I tossed and turned. My stomach tied into knots and I tried to [...]
