Got this in a chain email, and fortunately, it was from a dear friend who sends me uplifting stuff and not just spam. Thanks for the love from the other side of the world! Sometimes we need a reminder to seize the moment of today. Why wait for tomorrow if you can do it now! … Continue reading
I love him. We were to have a future to build together. The familiar laughs, hugs, and happiness that I only had with him. I don’t let everyone see that side of me. The side that is romantic, soft, and caring. But, to him, I was all of that and more. In his eyes I … Continue reading
I have seen several long distance relationships lately and a few have failed, yet one blossomed into a beautiful marriage. When people do not see each other or have daily contact, it takes commitment, effort, understanding, sacrifice, love, trust, and honesty. So, I think. I haven’t been away from Francois more than a couple of … Continue reading
I had some over ripe bananas, I wanted to use my muffin cap baking pan, and a friend on FB mentioned they were going to bake banana chocolate chip muffins. INSPIRATION! The original Chocolate Chip Banana Muffin Recipe online looked good, but I didn’t have all the ingredients it asked for and I switched some … Continue reading
A drunken dial at 12:30am?! Really?? Come on, dude. It’s one thing to be leaving a message on my cell phone, but it’s just disrespectful to be ringing up my house when my babies are asleep with your dramatics. You are not even family nor a friend. You are an acquaintance who’s trying to leap … Continue reading
Shit. Shower. Shave (legs & pits). All in 20 minutes. That has to be a world record of some sort. That, or a mom-superhero time line at least. I still have to do my hair, get dressed, get the kids dressed, brush their teeth, pack the diaper bag, snack bags, pack the car, drive the kids … Continue reading
My goodness! Prices for gas is just utterly ridiculous. It’s bad enough that a vacation where I get on a plane is probably not going to happen this year, but even just driving is so expensive. $75 to fill up my tank on my family mobile. And that was at $1.34/L. I feel for those … Continue reading
The story that is the epitome of being a mom, my Mother’s Day was spent taking care of my family. Everyone in the house is sick with fever and a raspy cough. EVERYONE. It has been a difficult week for all. But, even though I am sick also, with fever, phlem in my chest, headache, … Continue reading
I had to drive down a bit of ways to get to an appointment. And maybe it’s because it’s the ‘burbs or I just don’t drive as much as I used to, but where in the world have all the good drivers gone? I am surrounded by idiots! Here are just a few things that … Continue reading
I participated in a research discussion for caretakers of dialysis patients recently and it was a bit emotionally taxing (in a good way). Some of the questions asked had me revisiting emotions I keep locked away and buried so I can face our future. I could have easily fluffed the answers, but that’s just not … Continue reading
