How I Did on my 2004 New Year’s Resolutions
I made these resolutions last December as I started thinking about the new year. As the year has only a few weeks remaining, it’s time to look at how I did and where I want to go next year. Today: How I Did. 10. I will complete all my gift shopping for next year by March first, taking […]
Trimming Down My Life
Well, I did it. I have successfully transferred posts and deleted almost all of my extraneous blogs. I’m down to eight, one of which is still being “liquidated.” When I finish it, I’ll have only seven. I think I had fourteen when I decided to cut back. I may decide to cut back further, if […]
Thinking About All That I Do….
One of my readers who uses my blog seeds to good advantage asked in a comment on one of the daily seeds if I ever got around to reading the plantings that were inspired by one or more of the seeds I offered. As I responded to the query, I was struck by how very […]
The Best-Laid Plans…Gang Aft Agley
Well, I got a lot done last night, but not all I had hoped. We got to basketball practise exactly on time, and the younger son and I went to the library. He’s loving this, and my older son is jealous. I did explain to son #1 that when son #2 starts his basketball practise, […]
Fear and Trembling
I nearly had a heart-attack yesterday when I thought I’d lost the check from my Christmas Club account! I was at work when I first missed it, and, after tearing up my briefcase and my purse looking for it (unsuccessfully), I was in a panic until quitting time, when I could go home and look for […]
A Very Strange Weekend
I had great plans for this weekend, but I was just unable to get myself going on them. I had planned to tidy up and mow the yard, finish up the laundry and ironing, clean up the rooms, and get some filing done. Couldn’t get into it. I was too distracted. So I ended up […]
Sports Not so Bad After All
I grew up in a non-sports home. We just weren’t all that interested. We didn’t think of sports as “bad,” we just weren’t into team sports. (I hated them. Passionately. For reasons that have nothing to do with the sports and everything to do with how kids interact.) So I was rather nonplussed when my […]
A Busy, Busy Week
I’ll be posting sporadically this week, as the schedule is so full. I have work every day, of course, and rehearsals for the Broadway revue every night. My mom is keeping the kids all day (from 7:30 a.m. to 8:30 p.m.), and I run in and out at lunch- and supper-time to kiss the boys […]
Today’s Adventures….
This is going to be a running list of what my kids and I do today. I just thought it might interest everyone to see how a single mom spends her Saturday with her kids. 7:45 a.m. The kids have been “snuggling” in bed with me since 6:30, listening to the rain outside and telling […]
I’m “Single” Again
The ex picked up the kids at 8, and I am now trying to get motivated to actually do something. I’m lonely. I miss the boys — if they were coming home tonight, it wouldn’t be so bad; but I won’t see them until tomorrow night. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Okay. Whinging over. I have a list of […]
