Well, hello, there, strangers! Betcha thought I’d fallen off the face of the earth, right? Well, sort of. Not exactly. Okay, here goes: Let’s start with a little bit of trivia about me: I’m a Reader. A HUGE reader. If given the choice, I’d rather have a gift card to … Continue reading
Back in January, a local mom’s group put together a visit to a Fire Station for the kids. They’ve done this every year since I’ve been a member, but my kids were never old enough to have any concept of what a Fire Station or a Firefighter was, so we … Continue reading
I just had 11 days off from work in a row, and in that time I never once plugged in my computer or other electronics, only turned on the computer once (for my last post), and made almost no progress on straightening out the house from the last few months … Continue reading
I had a big old post written for today, and when I went to edit and re-read, I depressed myself. Sure, huge parts of our lives suck right now, but geez! If I’m getting tired of writing about it, I know you all are tired of reading it! The short version … Continue reading

Last Monday I woke up in Boston, just as another major snowstorm began. My flight was scheduled to depart at 6:45 a.m. We finally took off at almost 1:00 p.m. We were lucky, though; we were one of 4 flights that my airline was actually able to get in the … Continue reading
Right off the bat I will tell you that this recipe does NOT taste like manna from Heaven. Unlike the “sugar” cookies I created for Jed, these cookies taste like a dry cracker. After all, there isn’t any sweetener in them at all! But for people on a restricted diet, … Continue reading
You know the old saying “Two steps forward, one step back”? I wish we were so lucky. For us, it’s more like “one step forward, one step back”. Okay, occasionally we just have to step to the side, but still. It’s not exactly the forward momentum we prefer, even when … Continue reading
Last Thursday I left for work again, arriving home on Monday morning. Have I mentioned lately that I am tired of going to work? It’s just exhausting. The good news is that February’s work schedule looks a lot better overall; it’s still a little grueling the first week of the … Continue reading
