When I close my eyes, I can swear I hear Patsy Cline’s singing. Every now & then I post about my schedule, and people claim that they wish that they had my energy, or that they don’t understand how I do everything I do. Then there are spells like what I’m going through. This weekend… Continue reading Where I ponder where “Crazy Schedule” turns to “Actual Crazy”

Where I reminisce about my grand-dad while thinking about the opera
I’ve been spending a lot of time thinking about my grandfather lately. Maybe it’s because it was recently father’s day. Maybe it’s because I really think he’d get a kick out of holding my children. Maybe it’s because of recent conversations where we cherish each & every old picture from our grandparents . . .… Continue reading Where I reminisce about my grand-dad while thinking about the opera
Where earrings are swallowed and barbaric yawlps are heard
I’m cross-posting this over at Seriously, We’re Parents? because I can 🙂 It had been a very, very long day.

Where I talk about my fear of mice
I was playing at the Mad Woman’s blog, where Julie was talking about a rat infestation when I was reminded of why I hate mice . . . like, really hate mice. I don’t talk about my fears very often, but they’re many. I fear failure (but I may fear success even more sometimes). I… Continue reading Where I talk about my fear of mice
