Gotten Gorgeous

April 4, 2011

On Saturday I did this cray thing where I road a bus for 10 hours to go to a 4 hour event.  And the even more ridiculous part of it was that I realized I was doing this on the Friday night before I left.  The plans had been made for over a week and [...]

On Sun and Tomorrow

February 21, 2011

There are no words that describe my week last week.  Except words from the musical Annie.  Things like "grey and lonely" seem to do it justice.  It was a week full of naval gazing and I seemed to be in my head most of it.  There were really hard conversations and difficult decisions and tears [...]

Alphabet Soup

February 16, 2011

We are having Michael evaluated again.  I haven't decided if I'm going to talk about that process here or not.  He's five, almost six, and his life, his privacy, is important to me.  I will say this was not a decision that was easily come to or made without careful consideration. I remember last year [...]

Heart Warming

February 14, 2011

Yes it is Valentine's Day and all that.  I kind of hate Valentine's Day.  My attitude is if someone loves me they should love me everyday of the year.  So this post is not going to be about mushy gushy love.  Although I do love my husband.  Happy Valentine's Day! This weekend I had the [...]

Expiration Dates

February 8, 2011

My best quality, in my opinion, is what a good friend I am.  I am the friend you can call in the middle of the night, who will drop everything and be there for you.  I remember birthdays and anniversaries and send cards.  I babysit, listen, and care. I hang on to friendships forever, as [...]

2010

December 29, 2010

I remember standing in my kitchen on New Years Eve last year and feeling nothing but hope.  2009 had been such a hard year for us and I felt like 2010 was a new beginning.  We were in a new house and Michael had just started a new school and I remember feeling that 2010 [...]

Saying No

November 9, 2010

I have found myself in a weird position lately, one in which I am being invited to just too much stuff.  And before you think this is a I am such a popular blogger post, it is not.  Some of the stuff I am invited to are simply holiday parties, school events, and dinner with [...]

Life As We Know It

October 5, 2010

I had a really bad week last week.  I ripped my hand open, work was incredibly stressful, and Michael starting acting out at school.  What I really wanted, more than anything, was I good old fashioned girls night.  And luckily, I got one.  I was invited to a Life As We Know It** screening, and [...]

Party and Bullshit

September 7, 2010

We had a weekend of nothing, and yet, we had so much stuff to do.  Friday night we took Michael out to dinner to celebrate a successful first weekend of Kindergarten, and then Saturday we had his last Occupational Therapy appointment, as Michael has graduated.  Saturday night Doug and I had a date night, and [...]
