River Time

Had such a great weekend doing nothing but enjoying what the good Lord gave us…. Yes, I know it sounds like a bad country song and I would normally NEVER post anything so cheesy (yeah, right) here but I start my vaccine trial TOMORROW and I’m feeling a little bit of everything so I allowedContinue reading “River Time”

All Endings Are Also Beginnings

Today marks the ending of one chapter and the beginning of a new one.

Meredith Grey

Since my daughter has been home we’ve all been watching Grey’s Anatomy. Every. Single. Day. I stopped watching it years ago because Meredith got on my nerves and I swear I wanted to punch her in the face by the end of every episode – so I just stopped watching – cold turkey. But, whenContinue reading “Meredith Grey”

Is this our new “normal”?

I read an article on the lasting impact this virus is going to have on us and how we do business. For the most part, I agreed with everything the author said; expect for one thing… She stated that “the comfort of being in the presence of others will be replaced by a greater comfortContinue reading “Is this our new “normal”?”

Life As We Know It…

I had, honestly, been taking all of this in stride, one day at a time, paying attention but not OBSESSED, but this SERIOUSLY breaks my heart. These kids are being robbed of a crucial college experience; major EARNED milestones like graduation and ring ceremonies will not be celebrated, housing situations are being left in chaos,Continue reading “Life As We Know It…”

To Do List of 2020

I did one of these in 2018 and, to be honest, I sucked at it. I probably accomplished one thing off the list and, even then, it was about a year later. I think my son accomplished another one. OK, he did… but it was still HIS accomplishment, not mine. But, here we are; anotherContinue reading “To Do List of 2020”

What I want for Christmas this year:

1. To send my kids a text asking: what meals do you want me to make for you while you’re home?” ✔️ 2. Christmas music playing non stop – loud enough for everyone to hear no matter what room you’re in in this house. ✔️ 3. To put clean, fuzzy sheets on a bed that hasn’t beenContinue reading “What I want for Christmas this year:”

Words of Wisdom on my baby girls 21st Birthday!

TWENTY ONE YEARS OLD! How did that even happen? WHEN did it happen? Seems like just yesterday we were celebrating your high school graduation and I was coming to terms with the fact that you were LEAVING. Now THIS! If it wasn’t for the fact that you were so responsible and mature, I don’t thinkContinue reading “Words of Wisdom on my baby girls 21st Birthday!”
