Unfun?
I would challenge anyone who thinks I am unfun to a.) have lived with half of what I've lived with in the past 33 years and b.) live with the stress I continue to live with on a daily basis.
Do I have a lot to be thankful for? Yes, I do. I have some amazing friends and a family that means the world to me. I have a good job with a boss who is ( Read more... ) -
Getting the Message Across?
I hit the roof today when Riah's teacher sent home a pink slip for last night's math homework. She included a note telling us that Moriah missed TODAY'S math lesson because she sent her to the principal's office to do the assignment she didn't finish last night. And then included a nice little jab that the classwork she missed today has to be done ( Read more... ) -
Pretty Much Baffled
I can't quite figure it out. I enjoy writing. Most of the time, those who read what I write tell me I have a talent for it. Yet the whole "paragraph a day" challenge fell horribly flat. I'll write one or two sentence updates for Facebook a few times a day, but I had neglected Moriah's Care Page (MoriahHope with no space, if you hadn't ever been ( Read more... ) -
This Day in Our History
I was going through some pictures today, because of what may seem like a silly, silly thing to some. I put Moriah's hair in a pony tail! It sounds like such a small thing, but it's a big deal. Why? Allow me to show you, in the manner that will make the most impact humanly possible.

Day... Three?
Yeah, I stuck with that new challenge real well, didn't I? Three weeks later, I realize I pulled it off for two whole days. Ah well. Time to give it another shot, yes? Today's jumping off point is "an eternal rainbow."
Overhead the sky was slate gray. The clouds scudded along, ever so slowly. If you squinted a bit, it wasn't hard to imagine ( Read more... ) -
Day Two!
I've debated whether or not these paragraphs should attempt to work together or if my original idea of just stand-alone paragraphs was sufficient. For now, I'm going to go with whatever the heck strikes me. If an idea comes along that ties in with a previous day, so be it. If not, that's OK, too. That said, here's today's jumping off point: ( Read more... ) -

New Personal Challenge
I was commenting to a friend the other day that I'd really like to get back in the habit of writing. In the hopes that if I make a public effort at it, it'll encourage me... I'm going to ask you guys for some help. My goal, for the next two weeks, is to write one paragraph a day that has nothing at all to do with my life, my family, or my ( Read more... ) -
It's Official!
Yes, it's official. I have no life. The children are at my maternal unit's house and are sleeping over for the night, and I can't think of a single thing to do. There are no movies we feel like going to see, we really can't afford to go out to dinner, I'm not much of a window shopper. It's just plain pitiful! It's a Saturday night, we have no ( Read more... ) -
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Yay! The missing friend is OK! She finally sent me an email and a new phone number! I feel so relieved. I'm glad to know she's alright ( Read more... )
