How does it happen?

Ever find yourself absolutely spinning in whatever crap is happening and suddenly your whole day has been sucked into a time vortex never to return? Ugh! I have had three days in a row of that, and am feeling very unproductive! I did have my second grade teacher over for lunch yesterday. That was... Sign in to see full entry.

Who Knew?

I Just got back from a errands with my two younger girls. When we left the house, the sun just was peaking out which is a real joy as the rain has been constant. We went to Party City for a costume for Halloween, then I decided to be spontaneous and hit the Arboretum on the way home. We were not... Sign in to see full entry.

Need to laugh?

Go see couples retreat! My husband and I went to see it tonight and laughed all the way though! I felt like they hit on the dynamic of so many couples, and the laughs, came easy and frequent. I didn't think it got good reviews, but you know how that can be. The reviews were great for the Imposter... Sign in to see full entry.

Sweet as a spoonful of sugar!

I took my youngest to see Julie Andrews tonight. She was at a local theater promoting her latest book of poems. They interviewed her with questions they took from the audience. I told Grace we had to come up with questions no one would think of asking. I wrote down what's your favorite tea? It was... Sign in to see full entry.

Nothing to fear, she broke through.

I took my sixteen year old to see Colbie Caillat last week. Colbie is a myspace sensation who has released her second CD this past month. It opened at Number one! We saw her two years ago when she toured for her very first CD. Her song Bubbly is one you may know. She was 21 at the time and though I... Sign in to see full entry.

When a little feels like a lot...

We had a quick twenty four hour stay at the lake this weekend and it felt like so much longer in a really good way! I love when that happens! We hit a few furniture stores on the way up and created a far longer commute than the just over an hour normal jog. However, we finally found a place that... Sign in to see full entry.

Today one is the lonliest number...

Our community suffered a loss yesterday. A 14 year old freshman passed away. We found out today through the high school that she did have the H1N1, swine flu and more than likely another underlining cause for her death. I immediately felt so bad for her parents when I heard of her death. At first we... Sign in to see full entry.
