A Life of Managed Chaos
From the category archives:
Either I’m very tired, very distracted or very confused…maybe all?
I did not attempt to place the gallon of milk in the (un-refrigerated) pantry.
I did not attempt to place the box of cereal in the freezer.
I did not make a salad, readying to finishing it off with a mixture of red wine vinegar and olive oil [...]

I did not threaten my son that if he didn’t stop whining, I would find more medicine for him to take. I did not chuckle inside at the sheer insanity of that threat. I do not apparently have any other discipline options. It was not going to be a Flinstone’s vitamin. It [...]

This is a family show,
but this is a warning
for TMI below….
Her: “Mommy, why are you wearing underwear when you sleep?”
Me: “Because I always where underwear.”
Her: “But why?”
Me: “Because I like to. When you aren’t wearing diapers at night anymore you’ll wear underwear too.”
(Perplexed look. I reconsider my statement, she is a ‘freedom lov’n girl’ after [...]

Day 1 of 2010 and I resisted the desire to NOT workout, and I worked out. Still, I’m attempting the Shred with Jillian. Reason would dictate that I should give up on the 30 Day Shred having had no success in keeping at it. But in reality, it’s not about the disc, or the program, [...]
