Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

I know I’ve been sort of MIA lately on here, and most of that can be attributed to a very busy “busy season” at work. And rest assured, dear reader(s? maybe?) that I’m getting back to it now that I can find my desk. And I’ve started here, with my latest post on the fabulous Texas [...]

Yesterday morning when I dropped Sam off at school, I noticed a sign on the door asking for candy wrappers (by Wednesday) for a special art project. Now, I bought Halloween candy at the store on Saturday, but threatened everyone (read: Daddy and myself) within an inch of their lives if they got into it [...]

Sorry, folks – short post today, but I think you’ll enjoy what I link you to–yes, it’s another one of my Texas Health Moms posts. I’m serious when I ask for suggestions. I’ve tried deep breathing, walking away, ignoring…at different times they’ve all worked…at other times, nothing has worked. Ahhh, the joys of parenting! It’s [...]

I’m sure my post today will be one of many like it, and it might be a little disjointed. But it’s a post that must be written, right? 10 years ago today was tragic. 10 years ago today was terrifying. 10 years ago today was mind-blowing in the worst way. 10 years ago today, my [...]

Oh my, so many ideas for posts are swimming in my head right now. But since it’s late, I’m going to pick a quick one and go with it. I have yet another new adventure beginning. You might have noticed on my “Faves” list a site called InterfaithFamily.com (IFF). It’s been a fabulous resource for [...]

I’m another year older. Bah, why does saying it seem so much ickier than actually living it? It’s like it’s more concrete when you SAY that you’re older (even if, at times, I feel WAY older than I really am).  However, birthdays are not all bad. Especially because, in our house, we celebrate birthday week. [...]

I promise, I promise, I’m working on a post from the birthday party festivities, and I’ve got another one that’s a little more serious rolling around in my brain. But for today, I’m sending you back on over to the Texas Health Resources Momblog for my latest contribution, Time Management. I hope you like it. [...]

Today was a GOOD Day. Today was the kind of good day that makes up for a whole bunch of crappy ones all at once. (This is not to say that I’ve had a bunch of crappy days in a row, quite the contrary, actually. But today made up for several crappy days in the [...]

I know, I know. You were hoping for a race report, and I promise, I’m working on it. But a situation came up today that has me thinking about something else.

Well, folks – lots has been going on around here. 4 days of ice and snow (and in Texas, that pretty much means you’re confined to home – we’re not equipped for that!), Sam’s 9-month checkup, the Super Bowl in Dallas (with lots of stuff in Fort Worth), a cousin’s impending bar mitzvah to prepare [...]
