Snips and Snails and Puppydog Tails

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 [...]

Today, Texas Health Resources Momblog posted a submission of mine about being present in the moment. This is something I’ve really been struggling with lately, and I think maybe this weekend was a sort of breakthrough, though entirely unintended. Part of the time we were just too busy for me to even think about somehow [...]

I’ve come to accept that at times I’m a small person. I don’t mean small in stature; I mean small in the “be the bigger person” sense. I try very hard to be the bigger person when I can. However, two days ago something happened that I just can’t be the bigger person about. I can’t [...]

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.

My first post as a regular contributor to the Texas Health Moms Blog posted today! It’s not long, and it’s just some thoughts I had coming up on Sam’s first birthday in (gulp) just over a month! I do hope you’ll enjoy it, and leave me a comment, there or here, to let me know [...]

Back in September, I got to do a guest blog entry for the Texas Health Moms blog. You’ll no doubt remember how excited I was to get to do this! (Yes, I know that’s a lot of links for the first two sentences. It’s my blog; I’ll link as much as I want to.) Guess [...]

I ran my first ever 10K race today. To say I felt unprepared would be an understatement. I’ve been training for the Dallas Rock-n-Roll half marathon at the end of March, and had been doing pretty well, until . . . remember that ice/snow I posted about from the beginning of the month? Yeah…that, combined [...]

We all know her. She’s that woman who fusses at the teenagers from two houses down (who really aren’t doing any harm, or even being loud) to not lay in the street at night in dark clothes. She’s that woman who looks down her nose hautily at the too-short skirts and shorts and low-cut tops of [...]

I have to confess something. I have a jealous streak – a big one. I try to suppress it, and most of the time I’m successful. But there are days when I don’t do so well at controlling my green-eyed monster. Sometimes it rears up when I least expect it. Like the way my husband [...]
