It's a horrible thing to be, a procrastinator. I don't know if it's because there is so much that I want to get done, then it all seems so overwhelming, and I do nothing! Although I know that the best way to do anything, is to do one thing at a time, and in that way I can knock off some of the things I've set out to accomplish. I'm trying to not be a procrastinator anymore. I'm making a list, something I used to do often but haven't done recently, then I'm going to take one project a...

Life as I know it to be has gotten very complicated. It's gotten a bit too much overwhelming at times and it makes me wish that I could go somewhere and bury myself in a sand on some lonely beach and hide. Hide from the complications, the decisions, the second-guessing. Parenting has become a complication that I never thought would ever have happened to me. I have always had everything just so, not perfect, but knowing that this is A and this is B and anything that comes in between can ...

It's been a good week and an almost bad week, but the good is winning over the bad part! First off I hurt my back/hip at the gym. I was a bit too overzealous with the rowing machine and didn't feel it until later that night when I couldn't move! I was in the most excruciating pain! I've had pain before, migraine headaches, toothache, cramps from my period, labor pain and giving birth pain. Let me tell you, none of them compares to the pain I felt in my hip/back area and my fear that I ...

Hello again! I feel as if I've been away for a while, even though I've just missed being around yesterday! I've been busy! Having a family can be a lot of work as some of you already know . There are times when it seems as if you have it worse than others do and there are times when you feel so lucky to have the family you do. Of course a lot depends on how you handle everything in your world! *********************************************************************** Parentin...

Agony Gosh darn allergies...another piercing screamsneeze! Don't even ask me about the title...(or any of these subs!) I'm in a fuzzy-brained frenzy! I hate it when my thought-process gets interrupted! So many things to do so little time. I've got several things lined up of what I want to get done this year, Some things have been on the back burner and I've got to stoke the flames of my interest again! I tend to do that though....start things and don't follow throug...

There are so many of us out there who are trying hard to have a sense of normalcy in our lives. Yet there are things that happen on a daily basis for some that won’t let that sense of normalcy exist. We do continue to live in each moment and continue because our very lives depend on our own survival. Yet the cycles continue, always moving, never changing. Do we move forward or do we keep moving backwards? I used a phrase once in one of my writings, ‘regurgitating the same sound bite’...

Whining blog so if you don't like those sort of things, don't read this. And dont' tell me not to whine - I'm in a whining mood! I'm feeling totally meloncholy today, deeply so. My son's been ill since Friday. I had to pick him up early from school last week. He caught a cold which brought on his asthma and that's all it takes for him to have an episode. {and all because we had a badass cold front last week} I'm drained and I'm tired. Between coaxing him to 'feed his cold...

My brain feels fried and I'm so drained. I'm tired, tired, tired. My kids are wearing me out! All I want to do right now is curl up in bed and not leave it for a week. I'm too mentally tired to even continue writing this. Yesterday in the middle of an overhaul of my laundry room and doing laundry I left everything to take my twelve and five year old to the park and then to their favorite toy store so we could look around and I could have an idea of what they wanted for Christmas. Wel...

Sometimes you get into a mode of living and before you realise it, you're stuck. You get so busy with living your life, doing things a certain way and not changing your habit, even though sometimes you should. Other times you get too overwhelmed to catch up. You're so busy trying to make some parts of your life work, that sometimes other parts go by the wayside. Then things keep piling up, and you try to make a dent and the dent can't be seen no matter what you do. This is when you reali...

Deja vu, could you be the dream that I once knew, is it you? Dionne Warwick It's been a day of deja vu for me. I could tell what would happen next and it was a bit weird. I almost thought I would go to bed and wake up again doing the same thing all over again, like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day. It's weird when there are days like this [Ha! That made me think of that song "my momma said there would be days like this"] _______________________ I'm tired right now. It's been a long...

When I see someone crying because they have lost someone they love; When I see someone packing away clothes to givie them away; crying uncontrollably; When I see someone finding it hard to let go, to come to terms with their feelings, because it hurts so much, too much, I understand. It makes me cry inside, and I tear up, and I know that it’s not easy to explain, to let others understand, just how that is, still. How hard it is to remember to say ‘was’ or ‘used to’. I had to co...

I woke up crying, I couldn’t help myself. I was hoping that today wouldn’t affect me, I planned on not even thinking too much about this day but it’s difficult not to. I knew that once I saw and hear the events on television all over again that it would bring me back to that day. I told myself that I won’t write about it, because after all nothing happened to me that day, I didn’t lose anyone, at least I don’t know for sure. But when I look back, it did affect me as it has so many o...
