A Life of Managed Chaos

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.”

Now at three acting older, this girl comes on stronger,
Calculating my strength to hold on a little longer.
She pushes [...]

‘Tis the season.
I’m wrecked. I’m spinning in my mind with all the normal responsibilities, the accomplishments I work towards, various appointments, birthdays and other events we have coming up that have nothing to do with ‘the season’, and then the seasonal parties, gift giving, gathering of families, and oh yea, the joy.
I find myself re-evaluating [...]

I’m supposed to be writing an article, something for the Examiner. I am, in fact, working on becoming a National Examiner (beyond the county I reside in), by publishing a number of articles each week, for a few months.
Only…I’m watching my DVR programs, specifically, Heros. Does anyone else watch this? Am I the only one? [...]

I’m thinking of taking a little dive. I do love the feel of warm waters softly contouring my limbs as I try to keep afloat on my way to the other side of the pool….
This pool is overwhelmingly large. An abyss of activity, fluttering, flurrying, pushing, shoving and competing for a little bit [...]
