Quick disclaimer for all of my non-blogging friends reading this: you will probably be incredibly bored by the subject…but if you skip down to the “ugly” part, I think we can all relate to some extent. First the good! When I glanced through the list of finalists this morning, I was thrilled to see that…

One of Those "Housekeeping" Posts That’s Only Interesting to People with Blogs…and Mom of Course
And by “housekeeping” I’m talking about my blog – not my house. This is probably one of the most boring genres of blog posting out there…yet at some point we all do it. Even if we only have five readers, we feel the need to update them on how we feel about blogging, changes we’re…
Why I Hate Being a Truck Driver
Now that I’ve got your attention… I don’t really drive one of the big rigs. I drive a Ford Expedition. SUV owners are either saying, “Eh – My Tahoe is just as big,” or “Oh yeah – my Explorer is quite big enough, thank you very much.” The truth is – I’m just not a…
Friday Confession: I’m Getting Sick of Friday Confessions
It’s true – I’m having a hard time finding inspiration for these. I mean – hey, we all have stuff to confess, but how much of it is interesting or funny? And about 75% of the interesting stuff probably isn’t appropriate for recounting outside of my head, let alone on a very public blog. So…
Lord Almighty, I Feel My Temperature Rising
Do you know that I got FORTY comments on my Special Needs post? That’s like twenty more than I usually receive. Who knew that I would be such a hit being all serious and stuff… So I thought that it was only right to follow up such a triumph (which it is for those of…
Friday Confession: Cliff Notes Edition
I still hate this chair. But the pillows are cute. Have a great weekend!
More Random Things About Me
As a continuation of the “Twenty Five Things About Me” post from yesterday, here are 12 more things about me: 14. I had an unfortunate short haircut in the fifth grade that made me look like a somewhat chubby ten year old boy. No photographs of me from that time exist. I think I destroyed…
So What Have I NOT Told You About Myself By Now?
Several of my friends on Facebook tagged me for “Twenty Five Things About Me” (and possibly a blog friend or two – but I can’t remember…) Anyway – I feel compelled to do this. So here it is: Twenty Five Things About Me1. I have never colored my hair. Not once. Not even highlights. I…
Just Me and My Shadow
My Friday Confession for this week comes on a Saturday. I just didn’t get around to it yesterday. Partly because I’ve been busy with life and partly because I’m just exhausted by it. Every night this week, I’ve wanted nothing more than to crawl into bed the minute the children are tucked in. My early…
A Tragic Heroine’s Confession
Chris left early this morning for a nine-day business trip. And I have the hubris to not be worried about this. That’s my Friday confession this week. I am incredibly arrogant about my ability to take care of a three year old and two year old twins all by myself for over a week. Remember,…

Mother to three children (four if you count my husband), keeper of a moderately sane house, admirer of beautiful interiors and fashion that becomes more and more "young" for me, textile junkie and believer in the power of wishing really, really hard. I wage a daily battle against feet on furniture, "outside voices" inside, the ever widening chasm between now and "when I used to work," wrinkles, a lack of personal time, dust and the constant arrows that having a special needs child shoots directly into one's heart. So far dust and wrinkles are winning, but only because even the best of multitaskers have their limits.
