10 Years

On Sunday I celebrated being cancer free for 10 years.  It is amazing how far I have come in those years.  I now have a great husband, two awesome kids, and am in decent health and working on improving that. I bet you are getting tired about hearing about my Atkins experience, but I am […]

More Atkins

Last night’s dinner was really good.  I was a little unsure of it.  I made baked meatballs and cauliflower.  The meatballs were a combo of pork and beef.  The recipe called for veal, but I just can’t justify it.  The cauliflower was a lot better than I thought it would be too.  I boiled it […]

Weekend Recap

This weekend has been a bit trying for me. It all started Friday morning really. It was my last morning coffee with the girls from church. Warren still wasn’t feeling 100% so he stayed close by. I was home by 10 since we had a repair man coming for the dryer. It was making a […]

Family Dinners

Growing up dinner time (we called it supper) was a great time for our family. It was about us all coming together at the end of the day and sharing about our day. It was also a safe zone. We could openly discuss pretty much anything and feel safe about it. We were hardly disciplined […]

All Clear?

I did not receive a phone call from the doctor this afternoon. I am semi-relieved. I will feel better once I have the results in my hand. Today was a good day for us. Warren took a good morning nap. In fact, I ended up waking him up. We had to get going to River […]

Scared

The kids are in bed, so I have more time to elaborate on my previous post.  As I mentioned, I’ve been noticing Laura getting unexplained bruises.  She is a very cautious and safe child.  She won’t even go down the slide on the swing set unless she is holding your hands.  I have no clue […]

Needing More?

As I sit here on the floor, I am wondering if I need more to my life.  Laura is working on potty training this week.  She is doing really well with it.  Yesterday she only had one big accident.  So far this morning she has yet to actually pee on the potty.  This is good […]

Musings

I watched a lot of Lifetime Movies yesterday.  One part that struck me was a single mother just had her baby.  She was living with her parents at the time.  She made a comment along the lines of it was the hardest job ever.   At times it seems to get easier, but there are just […]

Families

Tonight we somehow started singing “Jump Around”.  I can’t remember how we even got started.  Robert then played the song on the stereo.  He and Laura were having a great time dancing to it.  Warren was laughing at the sight.  I was just enjoying taking it all in.  We then proceeded to play various dance […]

Weekend Recap

I honestly can’t remember a lot of my weekend. I’ll do what I can for a recap: Friday – I had my weekly morning coffee at church.  Robert stayed home with both kids so I could have a bit of a break.  After coffee was over, I went to the local strawberry patch and picked […]
