Death and Suicide

Posted by Editormum on 6 April 2013 in News Commentary |

This past week has been a very hard one. About ten days ago, my office was rocked by the shocking news that a former coworker had taken his own life. And on the day when I found out when my coworker’s memorial service would be, I was told that a very dear friend had died […]

Scary Days

Posted by Editormum on 25 January 2011 in Uncategorized |

My sons are sick. It started Friday at supper time. Baby Boy couldn’t keep his food down and had a low-grade fever. I gave him plenty of water and kept him in bed all weekend. He couldn’t keep anything down … not chicken broth, not even a snow cone. There’s nothing in a snow cone […]

The End Draws Near

Posted by Editormum on 4 December 2010 in Uncategorized |

I’m not gonna lie. I will be glad to see the end of 2010. It’s been a tough year for me and the boys, and we’re hoping and praying that 2011 will be better. Fewer visits to the doctor’s office would be especially nice. If it wasn’t the kids coming down with something weird, it […]

“… having done Your will with cheerfulness …”

Posted by Editormum on 16 August 2010 in Uncategorized |

O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, […]

Lessons Learned in a Hurry, part 1

Posted by Editormum on 14 June 2010 in Uncategorized |

My life has been lived in a raging hurry the last few weeks.  Catching up at work from a vacation. Running to various doctor appointments. Getting kids ready for, and off to, summer camp. Fighting with the ex. Yard sales. Curriculum fairs. And a multitude of other activities. And it hasn’t ended yet. But that’s […]

Insanity

Posted by Editormum on 6 June 2010 in Uncategorized |

My life has spun out of control these last few weeks. (If that sounds like a familiar plaint to my long-time friends, that’s because my life tends to do that. A lot.) However, I have accomplished two big goals, and I’m on the cusp of a third. We’ll see in a few weeks if it […]

Multi-Tasking Causes Stress

Posted by Editormum on 29 March 2010 in Uncategorized |

Some time ago, I began reading Alex Lickerman’s blog. It’s interesting to read about the philosophy and outlook of a man who is actively practising Buddhism. And occasionally (more often than not), I find in his posts a touchstone — one of those universal truths that transcends religious creed and just is true. Today’s post contains one […]

Plugging Away

Posted by Editormum on 21 February 2010 in Uncategorized |

The massive workload continues. I’m not really complaining. Honest. I don’t like to be bored, and I don’t mind either my office work or my household work. I’m just feeling a bit … overwhelmed … lately. In the past, I would have hired out some of the stuff on the to-do list. But the budget […]

Myriad Projects

Posted by Editormum on 25 January 2010 in Uncategorized |

If some scientist somewhere could come up with a way to alter the stream of time, I would be so very grateful. I have a boatload and a half of projects that need attention, and there’s nowhere near enough time to address them all. Among the pile of things to do… I’m discontinuing my blogs […]

Impossible Days

Posted by Editormum on 12 September 2009 in Uncategorized |

Friday was one of those days. Just impossible. Every way I turned. It started on the way to work, when the road to my parents’ house was blocked and I had to turn around and go a mile and a half “around the block” to drop the kids off for the day. And that, of […]
