I concede and hereby promise…

I can remember only one other time in nearly 30 years of marriage when I cooked something so terrible that I wouldn’t let my family eat it. It happened again last night.

We all love American Chinese food. It would be so nice to have it at home now and then. I decided to try to [...]

Some days...

Some days are just awful. You know when you get out of bed that you might as well have stayed there. Then there are the days like I had yesterday.

I had a full day scheduled. A doctors appointment was first on the list.  While at the doctors; the nurses, receptionist and assistants all just went [...]

Mood Surfing

The sky is as blue today as I’ve seen it in a long time. Granted I have been holed up inside shivering and grumbling about winter. I opened the curtains to my office window. From the low vantage point at my desk, I wouldn’t know it wasn’t spring…except for the fact that the trees are [...]

I'm still here!

It has been a crazy few months.  I took a seasonal retail job, the holidays came and went and now it’s January. In an effort to follow my own advice, I did slow down. (See the previous post on this blog) That led to letting go of a few things, like blogging. Well, I’m still [...]

Slow Down

Our lives are crazy, hectic, and moving way too fast. We get up in the morning, chug down the coffee, and wind ourselves up for an 18 hour marathon. Then we can’t sleep. Why? Where are we going? What’s the rush? Tomorrow we might take a nanosecond to wonder what happened to yesterday, and all [...]

Saltmacasagna!?

I love to play pretend with my granddaughter. She is 4. We play all sorts of things, like camping, complete with pretend fire and marshmallows and tents and sleeping bags. Or super hero. We pretend to fly around and get the bad guys. (GiGi doesn’t fly as fast as she used to!) Last night we [...]

Somewhere between Martha and Erma

I love it when the linen closet is full of clean towels that are all folded the same and are in the pile the same way. It gives me a small sense of satisfaction. I also like when the bed is made and the counters are cleaned and clear of clutter and the dining room [...]

Average Summer Day

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 [...]

H. O. End of day 2

Okay, I gave in. I could tell that it just wasn’t worth stressing out the hubby. He’s amazed that I got it all cleaned up again in one day. It wasn’t that bad.

I have pulled stunts like this in the past. They never work. I should know better. At least I got a lot of [...]

H.O. End of day 1.

“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 [...]
