Living and Learning I am a big believer in trying to find a silver lining or lesson in everything that happens in life. That’s my way of trying to make something good of situations and experiences that are often anything but good. Sometimes those lessons are positive; sometimes they aren’t. But there is always something to […]
This is what I do during the REALLY long studying sessions I have every day. I crudy. The rest of the time I cread and cratch (prounounced "crotch"!). I am the Multifaceted Mama, and a multitasking one, too!! My husband, however, refers to my hobby as "crotcheting" (promounced "crochet-et-ing"). He's hilarious. I have gotten really good […]
The pain and anger of it all… I haven't written in months… I just haven't been able to. I lost my baby in May and I haven't been really all that into life in general since. Some days it is better than others, but most days, I am just angry. Angry at the world, the […]
Yesterday my eldest went from ink virgin to tatted up. While I don’t see him becoming as inked and steeled as I am and will be, I foresee more in his future! He went first, but I got one, too, an admittedly unusual mother/son bonding experience! We started our day at the tattoo place, discussing […]
On Wednesday, I wrote a little bit about negativitiy and how I seem to be more and more aware of it, now that I am actively seeking to get away from it. But I have been noticing something else about it. It is annoying me more and more when someone is negative over seemingly ridiculous […]
I am so drained by all the pain and anger and betrayal running rampant these days, so this post is dedicated to exactly what the title says it is, things that make me dream, make me happy, make me smile! Enjoy! And don’t forget to click on the photos for more,… A beautiful home on […]
But only for the weekend! We haven’t seen him since the day we moved him into the dorms near the end of August, so it has been TOO long! So, gotta cram in the love in the short time we have before he goes back tomorrow! So, a few pics,…
It’s only Wednesday and I am ready for the weekend, which is probably NOT a good sign, huh?! I blame it mostly upon the juvenile delinquents that live in our neighborhood and a sexist pig in the form of our Slum Lord. It all began Thursday afternoon after school. I was in the back of […]
Botox is not for me! I have determined that, no matter how wrinkly I may get, botox will never be a part of my life. How did I discover this? Last night, while sitting on the couch watching Glee with Donovan and Ashley, something apparently bit me on the left side of my lower lip. […]
What the blog?! Sometimes I truly think my blog is possessed by gremlins. A few months ago, overnight all my plugin files disappeared from my server, making my blog function about as well as I do at 0515 before coffee. That is to say,… it didn’t work. This morning, I logged on, hoping for a […]
