I’m usually cold in the winter. I am always bundled up with a good pair of hand knitted socks, a nice sweater and a rice bag. Oh yeah, don’t forget Mason, the ever faithful source of heat/Boston Terrier. But I must admit that it took a little convincing to get me to knit woolie pulleys. [...]

 Hungry? Come into my kitchen. I'll make you something yummy!
Cold? Hold still while I make a sweater for you! |
I don’t get it. My guys love meatloaf. I never have liked it, but I make it for them under 1 condition. I get the ends. This recipe couldn’t be more simple. I’ve been making it since the 4th grade. That’s when I won my first award. It was an Outstanding Achievement for the science fair [...] I’m a housewife. I love it. My husband loves it. I am very lucky. Not many families can have one of the spouses stay home. It works for us. My husband hates yard work. I love it. So today includes poop scooping, mowing and minor flower bed cleanup. I also have to get out the ladder [...] “Happily Oblivious” is going along well. At least I’m having a good time. I spent the day carding and spinning and watching the game. They lost so I took a nap. The kitchen is getting pretty awful but there are still some dishes that are clean. The living room is almost in-passable. I’ve spread [...] I must admit that the events of this summer had caught up with me. My son is temporarily living here again…we had to get him out of the gang neighborhood before he got killed…and it’s amazing how quickly you forget what it’s like to live with a self-centered slob. Pacing and out of sorts, unable to [...] I’ve always been a “half glass full” kinda woman. Today, however I am having trouble finding the glass at all. In “Worry is Wasteful” I talk about my intuition and my son being in danger. That danger manifested itself last night in the form of an assault by gang members. The Gangster’s Disciples, or GD’s At 1 [...] The music artist Jewel says this in a song, “Not to worry ’cause worry is wasteful and useless in times like these”. She must have penned that lyric before she had children. I’ve blogged about my son in the past. I won’t go into details here. Suffice it to say, I’m worried. I have the mother’s [...] I used to love rollercoasters. They were thrilling. They made me feel very alive. Somewhere around the time that I had my kids, rollercoasters lost their appeal. I remember one of the last rides I took, feeling very nauseous. Oh well. I can live without them. But maybe not. Life is very much like a rollercoaster. [...] I’ve never been one to shy away from hard work. I can remember my parents coming home from work (2nd shift nurses) to find me scrubbing the ceiling in the kitchen. I was probably 14. Or taking a toothbrush to the bathroom tile. There is just something about the satisfaction I get from a job [...] My father, Michael, died when I was 28. He was a very hard-working dad who always had time to listen or joke around with us, when he wasn’t catching a nap. It’s been almost 20 years since his death. My sisters and I maintain a tradition that we call “Dad Lunch”. Dad loved to get together [...] |
