Strings of Youth
“I was planted on this earth just after the seeds of tomatoes.” This is an actual first line from a poem I wrote in college. I don’t have the whole thing in front of me now, but it wasn’t as terrible as the first line might make you believe. Tonight, I’m thinking a lot about […]
The Little Man in My Head is a Woman
I have a sheet of paper with scrawled blog titles all over it. Well, it’s actually an expired gift certificate. It’s worn and creased from living in my purse for several months. I promise, if I had time, I’d be churning out at least one blog post a day. As it is, I write whole […]
No Use Crying
Nope, not me. I’m not crying over forgetting to take breast milk to the sitter’s house, wasted gasoline, liquid creamer all over the kitchen floor, a $119 speeding ticket or Lily getting on the wrong bus and coming home to an empty house. No, there is no use crying. I did almost cry when I […]
The Best is Yet to Come
I am wrapping up a blessed weekend. Shrek took the older two on a special trip, and I had the “babies,” as I often call Colby and Luke, by myself. We stayed busy, but we also took time to do things like take a two-hour nap on Saturday afternoon, watch traffic from our comfortable and […]
A Human Being
What a chill kind of night. I’ve had such a huge bouquet of emotions in the past two days that I feel like I’ve been through a whole week already. I’m thankful now to be stable. I’m rocking comfortably in a pleasant, thoughtful, light-hearted mood. I’m thankful for some perspective I’ve gained in the past […]
Just Keep Swimming
My Mother’s Day gifts included a Butterfinger, several lovely drawings of elephants (my favorite), a leopard-print LED flashlight and more. What a nice day! I finished last week out with a bit of a thud at work. It seeped into home, turned everything a puke green. I had to change my mind to pull off […]
Desiderata
I bet some of you have been feeling a bit like I’ve been feeling. As in depressed, hopeless, dejected, trapped, bamboozled and sad. The rain, oh, the rain. It seems to stop long enough to give us one glorious spring day each week. And then there’s the kick in the gut you get every time […]
Let’s Make Peace
Hmmm. What to write? What to write? I’m not liking this post-once-a-week thing. My head is so full of posts. I’m still holding on and letting go as much as I can. I knew life would be busier when I got back to work, but I’m not sure I realized just how busy it would […]
