I finally finished a book I bought awhile ago called The Blessing of a Skinned Knee by Wendy Mogel. I loved every sentence in the book. I couldn’t get through 5 pages without going to get a pen so I could circle and write exclamation points in the margins. Her child philsophy comes straight from [...]
Since I’ve been a SAHM I’ve had more time to read. I’ve read a bit of non-fiction, but after years of working on a philosophy degree I wanted to learn to read leisurely again. I wanted brain candy. My best opportunity to read usually comes when Bubby is sleeping but still needs held. Here [...]
I got out today!! Yay! I went to lunch with Anisa- it was VERY nice to go out and chat and not have to worry about Camper crying (thanks Cy’s Dad for being so amiable and watching him so much ) and eating without worrying that my baby is hungrier than I am. I [...]
Some more things that occur daily in my “new life.”
-I spend at least 5 minutes every day looking through the days of the week bibs trying to figure out which day it is.

I’ve never read any of them. However, in a recent search for something new to read, I ran across these and just had [...]
Today was a pretty good day. I was able to go to work- I talked to my boss and we came to the conclusion that I can do what I can, I can leave when I need to leave, and everything will be ok. It is very, very lucky (blessed) that I’ve wandered [...]
Do you remember that movie with that red-haired actress…Molly someone or another…Pretty in Pink, I think. The sister is getting married, and ends up with girl troubles on her wedding day, and so she takes some medicine and is super drugged all day. If I could only get my hands on some codeine, that would [...]
I finally finished Harry Potter. I decided to go for it the other night, and John came into the bedroom to find me glued to the book. I probably had about a third of it left, and he said, “Are you going to finish that tonight?” I said, “Oh, I don’t know.” [...]
