A month goes by, and no posts. You can tell I am swamped. Life is throwing lots at me. Who isn’t feeling this way? However, I have realized that the biggest casualty in my life right now is my patience. It hit me square in the face two days ago as I was on my [...]

WTF, TMJ?

I have had a headache for weeks. I have had the occassional jaw clicking…annoying, but not so bad. Then, I was chewing this week and WHAM! An obnoxious pain on the right side of my jaw. A serious pain that made me stop chewing…and wait for it to pass. A little while later, WHAM! And [...]
Decade of Change

I guess you could look back at the past 3.5 decades I have been alive and argue that any one in particular ranks as the decade with the biggest changes. However, my personal choice is this past decade. I have seen the most personal growth and change which makes me actually like (and be comfortable) [...]
Thankful

Today was a nice day. Compared to last year, this dinner, hosted by Todd and me, went much smoother. We were more relaxed, and I managed to located some really good youtube videos that helped me create a terrific meal (hopefully, no one goes to the ER for food issues). We entertained a small crowd, [...]

It is hard to believe that it has been almost 3 weeks since my last post. In the past, I have been far more diligent about updating my (very few) readers with what is new in my life. However, these past few months…very hard to do. In a week or so, I am going to [...]
Answering Questions
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged life questions on October 20, 2009 | 3 Comments »
My good friend, PGoodness, put this on her blog today. She had one of her favorite blogs ask its readers some big questions today. She was compelled to ask her bloggy friends to answer them, and then send a link to her so the author of the questions could read them. Since I suck at [...]
Wacky Tacky Redemption

I teach sixth grade because I remember what those days were like. Difficult. Girls were mean, boys were idiots, and everyone wanted to fit in. When I work with my students, I try to remember how hard it was…and how I wished someone stuck up for me when the other kids made me feel left [...]
Changes
Posted in What's On My Mind, tagged reflection on October 4, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Feeling a bit reflective lately, I began to think about all of the things in my life that have changed in the last five, even ten years. For example, I used to wake up to the annoying beeps of an alarm clock. Now, depending on the day, I either wake up two minutes before hearing [...]
A Break from the Worry, For Now

Today was a good day. First of all, I met with the Livin Lite people. They came up from Indiana to pick up and repair my camper (which was damaged by the dealership). Basically, it is being rebuilt from the box up, and to top it all off, we are getting some of the 2010 [...]
Trying to Hang In There

I have been away a while, as I have been busy trying to get issues with this house resolved. Between that and trying to devote more time with the girls (which has not been easy with all the bullshit), I am run ragged. Since my last post, here are the negative things that have transpired [...]
