I Have a Shovel and I'm Not Afraid of Spiders!

I have moved. I am now, again, a homeowner and I am beyond thrilled. I love my home and the space and the lock on the bathroom door. I love the peace.

Good Bye Ugly Naked Guy, This Spider is Blowin' Away

I’m on the move…….again. Not today, but we are days away from finally moving to our new house. People keep asking me if I am excited. I don’t know what I am. I’m sure excitement is in there, but I don’t feel exactly like I thought I would feel.

A Broken Toe, An Ugly Naked Guy and Nothin' But Time

Sometimes I say I have nothing to say and it turns out that I do. Sometimes I have too much to say and I can’t focus. This is one of those times.

A friend just wrote a blog about how much can change in just a short time. She is right. Change is the key word, the dreaded word in my mind. 

Please Raise Your Glass in Honor of This Family

This isn’t my usual, self-centered, self-evaluating entry. This entry is about a family who is celebrating the life of their wonderful husband, father, brother and friend. I am not family, I don’t even know him. We are “friends” on Facebook, but really haven’t had much contact. I have chatted with his lovely wife on several occasions. Again, I don’t know her, we just have a few things in common. She has read my blog and she has supported my efforts with Million Dollars for Mom. She and her husband are Purple Warriors and he is about to travel to his next adventure.

Did You Know There Are 52 Letters in the Alphabet?

My quest to find my happy self has hit a snag. I knew it would, but I didn’t think it would happen so soon and be so big to me. I will say I am happier than I have been but my heart aches and my stomach is turning.

My babies are going to start kindergarten in a week. I know what you are thinking. Kids go off to school each year. It is just life. They will be fine, most kids are. They will blossom, most kids do. 

Dear Mom

Dear Mom,

As Long As I Have My Spyglass....I Can Figure It Out!

I’ve asked this question many times and I think I have even written about it before.

What makes people happy? Not the casual kind of happy, the all is right in my life and I only find joy kind of happy.

Construction Zone

I am in the process of changing up my blog. I hope you don't mind the dead links, but I am hoping to have them up and running soon. If you have any suggestions, I would love to hear them. In the meantime, please look around. Some things are working smoothly.

I've Forgotton That I Love Color

There comes a time in the grieving/moving on process where a person has to “let go”.

I am at that point. The real question is what does let go mean? Change.

Do You Put the Pretty Side Up or Down?

When my dad calls the name on my phone says “Mom”. I need to change that but I just can’t. I’m frustrated because I am hanging on to silly things. It’s a name on my phone. What is wrong with me?
