Perfecting Imperfection

I'm still really really sore.  My tail bone hurts more than usual today (I'm kind of hoping it ISN'T because it is raining, because I love rain and would hate to have one of those injuries that acts up when it's raining out).  I'm also having some ribcage issues.  I'm gonna go ahead and assume it's from my graceful fall down the steps...I'm...

I'm from Saturday morning cartoons, bacon and eggs while listening to The Rocky Horror Picture Show soundtrack. I'm from First Friday Mass every month and confession twice a year. I'm from amusement parks for adrenaline junkies and hopeless romantics, cotton candy and sticky candied apples. I'm from Catholic School Girl uniform skirts and "Livin' on a Prayer". I'm from page after page of...

So...I'm sure that you will be tired of reading about my Happiness Project soon...but my start date for it is quickly approaching.  I used the Happiness Project Toolbox to make some resolutions yesterday.  They don't really follow a theme like I had originally planned.  They are, however, things that I really think will make me a little bit happier. 1) Back to Blogging...

Anytime I'm going to complain about my husband, I always preface the complaint with, "I love my husband...but..."  Anyone else do that?  I was thinking about this blog post and those words just kept popping into my head.  Not because he has done anything wrong - but because he really is clueless sometimes.  (Sorry, honey...it's true and I do love you!) I've been...

Yesterday was awesome - right up to the point that it wasn't.  (Yep...I'm pretty good at pointing out the obvious) I was on a roll yesterday.  I had been cleaning and even motivated my DH and wonderful neighbor to weed out the flower beds in front of the house while I marched all of the kids around the block in Halloween costumes.  We...

Summer isn't the ideal time to blog.  Even though I didn't do nearly as much as I wanted to do this summer, I was still REALLY busy.  Plus, my summer was filled with a lot of lazy days and days that consisted of just keeping my kids happy.  I had a hard time finding inspiration when it came to my blog. Fall has...

I say that because it took me two hours to go through this mess of unmatched socks before I quit.  When my dad dropped Nate off from school he walked in to see my pile and said, "Really?  Those are all unmatched?" Yep. Now - other than quitting smoking almost two years ago - I am not a quitter.  I try to stick...

It's only unofficial because it hasn't "officially" begun, yet.  The first day of Fall isn't until later this month - Wednesday, September 22nd - but it feels like Fall.  I'm longing to wear long sleeves, long pants and light jackets or "Hoodie" sweatshirts.  I want to get some pumpkin decorations and gold, red and orange things to warm up my house.  I want...

This summer was not an easy one for any of us.  I had big hopes and aspirations - but hit a few little speed bumps and ended up just getting by this summer.  I wanted to do so much more.  I wanted to be more of a "super mom" and actually go places, see things and get stuff done.  What ended up happening...

September. There is something about September that tugs at my heartstrings.  I love the crispness it brings.  I love how, even though nature looks like it's falling asleep, it is full of newness.  I love how it screams, "Time to get to work!" - which it probably only does to me because my "work" always coincided with the start school.  Which brings me to another...
