Getting Real
Stressed Out and Overwhelmed!
Did you ever feel like you have so much to do you don’t know where to start? That you’re being stretched like Mrs. Incredible and are about to snap? Well that’s how I feel right now! I’m trying to finish edits on my WIP in the midst of scheduling doctors appointments, acquiring donations for my…
When it Pours it Thunders!
In my last whine, I mentioned that I got really mad at hubby. If I hadn’t have had a rough time with my teen earlier that day, I probably could have handled the situation better, but I didn’t. Though to my credit, I didn’t engage in my ritualistic hip reaction of anger. Instead, I internalized…
Next Time I’ll Have to Think Twice Before I Say…
family stuff is going pretty smoothly so I don’t have much to whine about!:) Ha! Today was a really rough day. Just when I thought I was enjoying my teen (with minor exceptions to normal moodiness,) he pushed me back over the edge! Unfortunately my moms says he’s a lot like me at his age.…
I Want to Apologize to My Readers…
This has been on my heart for a while, but I really haven’t had the time to put it into words. If you’ve noticed lately there’s been a lot of books and product reviews on my blog, partly because I LOVE the stuff I’m reviewing (and able to give away!) and I get to choose…
How to Get Your Husband to Listen to You on Valentine’s Day and Every Other Day of the Year!
I know the Internet is flooded with romantic Valentine’s Day suggestions or beautiful prose of love and romance. I thought I’d take a different route on this day and share with you a book about communication. After all if you’re not communicating with your husband in the way he will understand, chances are you’re not…
Coming Up for Air!
Right now I’m over committed and I seem to be taking on new projects every moment. Like my willingness to be write some news articles for my kids’ school website and newly developed newsletter that I’m NOT in charge of, but I’m on the committee. Also on the agenda for this week is teaching writing…
Reevaluation
There’s a lot of things I need to reevaluate in my life. I sort of skipped the New Year’s Resolution/goal setting thing, and it’s time I take a real hard look at some of the areas in my life which have gotten out of balanced. Some of it is the same old, same old…too much…
Too Busy to Play
It seems that I’ve been so busy doing…(field trips, shopping, baking, blogging, laundry, cooking) that there hasn’t been much time to enjoy my family. There’s always something that needs to be done and being the choleric that I am, I usually make time to do it. Some of the things I do are really good.…
Opposite World
Jesus said we live in an opposite world. Just one glance at Luke 6 verses 20-38 proves it. Imagine reading these words for the very first time… 20…”Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. 21 “Blessed are you who hunger now, for you shall be satisfied. Blessed are you…
Are You on that Computer, Again?
How many times have you heard that one? From your spouse, or (dare I confess) children? I mean, it’s not like I’m watching Soap Operas, or Oprah, or Dr. Phil all day (did the rounds for a season when my my boys were little) or talking on the phone all day long. I rarely talk…
