I was a rock. A stickler with a day planner. A respectful member of the people who can tell time club. I could make plans 6 months out and others could depend on me to keep the appointment as if I had made it the day before. I steadily got my hair done every 6 [...]

Too little?I mean really, there are giveaways and reviews in there - so maybe I really have 285 posts. And then [...]
Who came first? The Mother or the child? We all know that the Bible tells us that Eve came first. So, how is it, these days, in my daily grind, that I come last? Behind the kids, the husband, the dying dog - yes - she is holding on - and the two other [...]
It is 10 pm. I am tired. My husband is already asleep and I just got my kids in their rooms, quiet. Whether or not they will stay there is doubtful. But a mother can pray.Our plan was to get the kids to bed at 7:30 pm, go out on our property this evening, start [...]
Good Morning All!I am trying not to be frustrated this morning. Trying not to berate myself for going out last night, finally on a night out on my own with a friend, and having 2 glasses of wine, Crusted Sole with Spinach Orzo, and Chocolate Cake with Ganache and Hazelnuts on top. And eating every [...]
I am good people. I am. At least I try to be. I attempt to live my life thinking of others first, taking as good care of my children and I know how, and making sure my husband knows I appreciate him. In fact, if you ask me, I am darn near perfect in all [...]
I wrote this post yesterday afternoon while feeling quite blue. Last night, I put everyone to bed and went to the grocery store. I have not gone in over two weeks, relying on the pantry overflow and my husband for the necessities. I strolled down every aisle, looked at every deal, and lost myself in [...]

And because I needed entertainment on a rainy day!So [...]

Yes, I caved. Gave into the pressures of everyone else telling me it needed to be done. Let myself be railroaded, backed into a corner, overruled. Sigh.I was not ready. So not ready. She was too young. Too small. Too much of a baby. To much my baby. But as she stood, watching intently [...]
