For Best Results, Give
Last week, I sat down to pay some bills, and the bank was all, “Not right now, hit me up later,” or whatever. I haven’t gone back to pay them. They’re not due, and I’ll probably pay them today, or … Continue reading
Contrary to My Desires
I thought I’d tell you the bad news first, so the good news seems even better after. That’s how I do, so let’s plunge in, shall we? I’ve been puny this week. I got one of my infamous cold sores … Continue reading

I like yellow things, except yellow jackets. And maybe school buses. Over the years, I have put many a kid on many a school bus, morning after morning. Before August of 2013, I never, in the history of my mommyhood, had … Continue reading
Is That All?
“I’d like an iced venti decaf white mocha, no whip,” “Will that be all?” “No, I’d also like an iced venti white mocha frappuccino and–” “Will that be all?” “Two grande decaf caramel frappuccinos and a pup cup.” “Okay, I’ve … Continue reading
Hoodie Weather in May? Yay!
We had a predicted high of 67F/20C yesterday, although I don’t know how warm it actually got. In the afternoon, I opened all the windows and ran errands. Sometime before six o’clock my family members picked up quilts and gingerly asked … Continue reading
They’re YOUR Parents!
I’ve been close with my in-laws since I was 13. I’ve called them Mom and Dad since maybe 14 or 15. They’re those kinds of people. Many people think of them as second parents or at the least, as people you … Continue reading

Pressed to Find Gratitude
Years ago, I read several books by Thich Nhat Hanh because the first one was so helpful that I couldn’t resist reading more of them. Soon after, my life was taken over by baby books and then babies. I think … Continue reading
