Talking on the phone with my husband is the only way we can spend our 6th anniversary together.  You'd think it would translate to nicer conversations, but alas, it does not.  Every time I talk to him it involves some criticism.  However small and trival it might be its still not fun to listen to.  Just tonight I call and he sounds so distracted ( Read more... )

What mother of a 4 year old doesn't think the sound of silence is beautiful.  There are times where I actively crave it.  I drive in the car with the windows rolled up, the radio off, nothing but the sound of...well...nothing.  No questions being rapid fired at me, no requests for what lunch they want to eat in 4 hours, no fighting, no yelling, no ( Read more... )

Aging has such a profound effect on the body.  Yes, I may be only 30 years old, that is still considered young in our culture but my body totally disagrees.  I swear more things ache every day than don't ache.  And I sleep for shit.  I used to have no problems sleeping, I would fall asleep within minutes and stay asleep the rest of the night.  Now ( Read more... )

So, I fell.  I fell hard.  Had I been on America's Funniest Videos there is no doubt I would have won.  I get out of the shower and slip on my bathroom floor.  Of course I can't just trip and catch myself.  No, when I do something I go all the way.  I manage to not just fall but do the splits, which I have not been able to do in more than 2 decades ( Read more... )

Going to bed can be such a treat when you are so very tired.  My sister's visit is going great, her husband joins us tomorrow so that is going to be something new.  I have to make reservations to visit the petting farm and Karl's old work.  Steven is dying to see the helicopter dunk tank.  I don't really want to go, why am I fine with people I don' ( Read more... )

I ended up doing nothing last night.  Absolutely nothing.  And here I am, 7am and I am still tired, still sore.  I think I am going to take some tylenol or aleve and wait for that to kick in.  I need to lose weight, I am so fat.  :o( 

How come I never seem to clean when guests are expected until the night before they are due to arrive.  The house was a mess when my mom came but I didn't feel too pressured.  She had seen the house before, she knew what it looked like.  :o)  Angie, on the other hand, has never seen the house so I want to make it look nice.  Not perfect, oh dear ( Read more... )

and its so comfortable you may never hear from me again.  :o)

I have magic PJs, they have the ability to calm and relax me, and then turn me into a couch potato napping lump.  I slept for (off and on, thanks Emily) 2 hours but by golly I could sleep for 2 more.  I blame the PJs.  Unfortunately they hand their magic to a different set of PJs whenever they go into the dirty laundry.  I could be hard charging ( Read more... )
