Things that Make me go Ouch

Battle of the Bulge

It’s a battle I’ve been waging all my life and while I’m not 100 lbs over weight, even twenty extra pounds on my 5ft. 3 1/2 inch frame manifests itself in more junk in the trunk and ship-like hips, then I care to carry. I’ve never been really good at dieting. Who wants to deprive…

Note to Self:

Just reminding myself of a song I wrote about 20 years ago when I was waiting… I know the plans that I have laid for you, for welfare and for hope. Your future is so clear to me, so far beyond your scope. And all ask is that you trust me child, and know I’m…

House Exhaustion!

I’m TOTALLY exhausted and every muscle in my body aches. No, I didn’t just run a marathon, though running ranks us there with the top 5 things I HATE to do along with cleaning! And I just spent the entire weekend cleaning and scrubbing and it’s still not cleaned. My hands are dry and chaffed,…

Have You Seen My Motivation?

I can’t seem to locate it! I used to have too much motivation and not enough time. Now I have hardly any motivation and hardly any time anyway. My life feels like it’s in a state of limbo with selling this old house and still waiting to move into the new one. My day is…
