Snowy, Quiet Weekend

We woke up to a nice covering of snow this morning.  It is still falling (last I could see).  It isn’t a storm and it isn’t such a small amount that you can still see the grass.  To me it is almost a perfect snow fall.  This morning was spent just hanging around the house.  […]

Happy Halloween

I am sitting here having my morning coffee with Warren.  Well, he is eating Cheerios and drinking milk.  I think I’ll wait a few years to start him on coffee yet.  I would say that I have reached a major milestone for myself.  No, I have not lost more weight (more on that later).  I […]

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 […]

Memories

I have just finished watching Sex and the City.  The entire series.  At one point towards the end, one character Samantha gets breast cancer.  It is caught early on and everyone in the show believes that Samantha will be fine.  At one point, Samantha and Carrie (one of her best friends) are sitting together talking.  […]

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 […]

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 […]
