Hell, Maybe I’m Just Bone Lazy!
I had some free time today and normally that would indicate an opportunity to work on my manuscript. But I didn’t. Ever since my hard drive crash I’ve been having trouble getting motivated to work. Firstly I hate the idea of reinventing the wheel and trying to re-do my lost chapter. Secondly, I hate...

Who Is That Woman In My Bedroom?
My husband says she’s hot! Hot? I look in the mirror. Maybe – just maybe. I reached my goal weight this week. It took longer than I expected because the marathon training is adding muscle weight as I’m burning fat. I recognize this woman in my mirror. She looks remarkably like the woman I was ten...

“For God’s Sake Stop Screaming!” I Screamed.
Yup lots of screaming going on in the house. What is it with little girls and that high-pitched shriek that they produce? I am nearly at my wits end today with Rachel and her screaming. Not only does she scream, loud, long and often, but also at the least provocation. Emily is looking in a different...

Panicky, Anxious, Nauseas – What a Difference a Day Makes
Yesterday after I posted my “I’m so happy I must make you sick” post, I heard this loud ping and popping noise from my almost new laptop and soon there after it croaked. I may not know much about the innards of computers, but I am pretty certain that I just witnessed my first hard drive crash. Of...

I Can't Help But Smile, I Feel Great Today
I heard that song on the radio while driving Rachel to preschool, "Happy Baby" by Shaye. That's how I feel today. I am dressed in my jeans, with neon green play-doh ground into the knee, a long sleeved t-shirt that is unraveling at the neck, and my hair tugged back into a pony-tail. And I feel...

Princess Hot Wheels
My mom smiles at my girls. “ You know you are doing a great job with them.” This is great praise. My mom, despite having some fantastic obstacles was a great parent. It is from her that I have taken my child rearing philosophy that it's not about time or stuff, but rather making sure that the girls...

Too Much Sun, Too Little Time
I can't sit by my favourite window in the library today. The sun is shining off the snow and it is so bright that I can't see the computer screen in the dazzle of it. So I have had to move further into the building, and taken over a study table today to do my writing. It's nice in here today, even...

Jay Eee Ell Ell Ohh
There is quality time, and quality time. Rachel asks for time with me a lot lately. I think she misses being with me while she is at preschool and seems to think that her sister and I are up to all sorts of fun in the two hours that we are away from her. It could be just a little jealousy, or maybe...

First Report From “The Outside”
Here is something that I wish Blogit had that TypePad has. TypePad has this really neat feature that lets you write a post and then save it and have it automatically post at a later time. This is great for me. I often write posts on the weekend and then cut and paste them during the week. If Blogit...

Pink Seersucker, Pictures and Play-doh™
It's been a good day to be four years old. Rachel got to put on her new dress (that she got to pick out all by herself at the store!). She went to pre-school to have her very first school picture taken and then when she came home she got to play with her little sister for and hour with some fresh...
