Perfecting Imperfection

Today marks the first full week of my summer "vacation"...our last day of school was Thursday.  Okay, it was really a giant play date at the park and I wouldn't consider it "work" but it was the last day I will see most of those students.  That being said, we already have teacher meetings scheduled for June 8th and June 15th!  Plus, I...

Things have been going really well. Much better than usual, in fact. I have some ideas as to why ~ which I will share in a minute ~ but it makes me a little nervous because, well...I'm a pessimist at heart.  I try - believe me I try - to not think that way, but if things start going really smooth or really...

I woke up at 7:15 this morning with a blog post forming in my head.  I was going to tell you, in some witty way, about all the emotions that I experienced yesterday – it was a roller coaster kind of day.  Since it is now two hours later, dear internet, and you have sucked up my entire morning, I will have to...

Let me start by saying the D-Listed Blog Party ROCKS!!! I solemnly swear, with all my heart, that I will visit each blog that came and visited mine...eventually.  :)  All of you who commented that you don't know how I do it - eh, sometimes it takes me longer but I eventually get the job done! I had a wonderful moment tonight.  A moment...

Starting today and ending on Friday there is a blog hop party over at D-Listed!  Apparently, it’s B.Y.O.B. Since I may have a few new visitors for the party, I thought I’d take a moment and share a little info about myself. I’ve been married for almost 6 years (Anniversary coming up in June) and in those 6 years I have had 4...

This morning I just feel like writing.  It's too bad that a complete thought doesn't stay in my head long enough for me to develop an idea about what to write a stellar blog post about - guess this morning you will just have to settle for some random stream of ... randomness? Let's start with the haircut - and let me remind...

That's how I'd rank this haircut.  A 7.5 out of 10 - with 1 being the worst haircut I have ever had in my entire life (think short hair, perm and crazy short bangs teased to the tippy top) and 10 being an unrealistic haircut that I've always dreamed of having (think Meg Ryan in City of Angels).  So really, 7.5 is pretty...

So ~ How was your Mother’s Day?  Let me show you what my loving hubby bought me for the special occasion…Cute, right? There is one silhouette for each of my kiddos – with their birthday listed below.  At first, I thought it was a little bit too big because I’m not a big jewelry person.  But it grew on me and by the...

I had every intention of writing a blog post yesterday.  I had every intention of cleaning up my house and taking my husband out for his birthday last night.  Instead, I spent the day doubled over in pain and praying that it would just go away.  I had the stomach flu like this about 2 years ago.  I had to call my mom...

I’m exhausted.  We have been so busy it is unreal.  On top of all of that, I’ve been trying to keep up with the Flylady stuff AND stay on track with my E-mealz…both of which are going very well (we had Creamy Roast Beef Pitas today – they weren’t bad at all…)  A lot of the E-mealz recipes are ones I can see...
