Something More
We’re full throttle into Halloween weekend around here. The pirate, Power Ranger, dinosaur and Mickey Mouse are all ready to go. I, Spider Girl, have a full slate of events scheduled this weekend, not only of the Halloween variety but of the wedding and baby variety as well. Joe Dirt is still out from last […]
Wine and the Written Word
This is one of those nights that confirms I made the right decision when I vowed not to make any major changes in the first year of having four children. My hormones are trying to square dance inside of me while my (im)patience tries to scrub the floor. And that fickle thing called hope is […]
Positive Change
Sometimes it feels like I’ll never blog again. I’ve had an eight-day hiatus here, maybe my longest yet, but it isn’t for lack of trying.

Wine a Bit
My life right now is one to-do list after another. I’m preparing for a trip to Denver and three special events at work. I’m up to my eyes in details and trying to fit so many tasks into the matrix. All of this, along with my life, is incredibly overwhelming. But I’m hanging in. My […]
The Best Idea in the World
Lily and I had “the best idea in the world” tonight as we stood in line waiting to pay our admission into the high school Homecoming game. Sister hadn’t felt well all afternoon, but made an amazing recovery before game time. But standing there in that line with her, in the fall chill, with her […]
