Attempting A Last Minute Fling (1)
8/30/10 •
Attempt is the key word here. It hasn’t really worked out. I tried, but other people keep interrupting and making demands on my time, and it is hard to get away and steal a moment or two. I had high hopes for today, but they were shot down by a 13-year-old who thinks she wants [...]

Summer’s Over (0)

OK, maybe it is just over for me because this is faculty week, which means I am back in school. Classes start next week, but after a long time of not having to set an alarm, I am now the one getting up at 6 a.m. Of course, this week coincides with one of the [...]
Thirty-Nine Lessons I May Have Learned (1)
8/19/10 •
Today, August 19, 2010, marks my 39th birthday. It is one of those birthdays that aren’t quite real in that when you mention it is your 39th birthday (or your 29th), people tend to wink and nod and think you are really turning 40 (or 30). But I’m not. I’m 39 today. What does it [...]
Lilly Caught One and Didn’t Know What to Do (Comments Off)
8/16/10 •
Lilly weighs about 8 pounds, but she is fiercely protective, and to do her protective bit just right, Lilly wants to chase cars. She is hindered, however, by our electric fence. She still does what she can, which is start at one corner of our yard and runs the length to the other end, barking [...]
Fat Friday — The Doctor Edition (1)
8/13/10 •
I’m off to the doctor’s office today to find out my “official” weight loss. Unofficially, I believe I lost about 12 pounds, gained two and lost four, putting me at 10 pounds down. Officially, I think the doctor might find my weight loss to be about 6 to 8 pounds. It’s been about four weeks, [...]
Boyfriends (1)
8/11/10 •
My oldest child made the badly-timed comment that I have not written in my blog about her new boyfriend yet. Was that a request? As any good mother would do, I shall fulfill it! I have three daughters, and my daughters are good looking girls, which means there are boys. Currently, all three girls are [...]
Time Capsule (2)
8/10/10 •
Last week, my oldest daughter was home mostly by herself. Her dad was on call, and I was free from obligations, so I gathered up the rest of the children, and we went camping to be with my husband. The oldest daughter had to work, so she stayed home. Eventually, her siblings had responsibilities too, [...]
Fat Friday: Still Dieting (Comments Off)
8/06/10 •
I am still dieting. I am still on the South Beach diet. I am not at home, however, so I’m not sure about my progress. It has slowed. I’m not losing weight as fast as I was, but I am still losing.
Broke-e-did (2)

And hopefully, it will soon be fix-e-did. My laptop. The one that my son spilled water on last December, and I bought a replacement keyboard that still didn’t work, so I used an external keyboard because it was the middle of a semester, and I could NOT switch computers. And then the power cord died, [...]
Fat Friday: Who Won the Bet? (3)
7/30/10 •
Did anyone take bets about whether or not I could go two entire weeks without alcohol? If you bet, “No,” you won. On Monday, I came home after a stressful day, and my husband was drinking a beer. And I wanted one. He tried to stop me, but I didn’t care. One beer. I deserved [...]
Pampering Me (Comments Off)
7/29/10 •
How much money have you spent on YOU lately? Like most moms, I don’t usually spend a lot on ME. I buy for everyone else. Until this year, when some combination of getting older and needing a change resulted in me getting my hair done every 8 weeks. This is unheard of for me. Normally, [...]
