Ha Ha, Very Funny – NOT!

By a show of hands, how many of you know I despise morning? One of my favorite Gilmore Girls quotes is, Hate Early. Must Kill Early. That resonates with me like very little else does. So it’s understandable that Falling Back is one of my favorite things to do. Last night Todd turned back all…

October Musings

Where has the year gone? I can hardly believe it’s already October. Mostly I’m very happy about it. I love the cooler temperatures and the changing leaves and the smells of autumn. And as I said in an earlier post, every weekend this month is something unusually fun for me. At the same time, however,…

Stubborn Is as Stubborn Does

I never used to think of myself as stubborn. I was an easy going, laid back kid who most of the time never had to have her way. I was usually happy to do whatever my friends wanted to do. It wasn’t until I had Taylor that I realized “stubborn” comes in all shapes and…

Did I Mention…

A couple of months ago the director of my preschool asked if I would be coming back next year and if I was interested in the possibility of being a lead teacher. Those who think just anyone can be a preschool teacher are sadly mistaken. It takes a special person to be a good one…

Give Me The Coffee And No One Gets Hurt

To say I’m not a morning person is an understatement. I hate getting out of my snuggly bed when the alarm goes off and I don’t like to talk before I’ve had that first jolt of caffeine. But because I’m the best mom ever not the worst mom in the world I do get up…

Frankenboob: The Sequel

This morning I was able to take the dressings off the three incision revisions. In my vast surgical experience I’ve decided removing tape is the worst “procedure” there is. Next time I’m throwing back a shot of whiskey and gnawing on a leather strap. I found myself on the brink of dangerous territory as I…

Happy Birthday To Me

Guess what I got for my birthday. A crick in the neck of epic proportions. Which makes me want to call it a river in the neck. Because you know how some people call a creek a “crick” and a river is bigger than a creek? That came to me in the early hours of…

A Little Housekeeping

In my Marsha, Marsha, Marsha post on August 31st I listed some topics I was going to be addressing in the near future. Near has gotten away from me and now it’s just the future, but I’m going to make good on my word: Todd’s blog Not much to say here. His last post was…

Marsha, Marsha, Marsha

Guess what I’m doing! Go ahead. Guess. If you said “laundry” you are correct. That Sherry Lewis classic, “this is the song that never ends, it just goes on and on my friends,” is playing through my head. Because laundry is the chore that never ends. NEVER! I need an Alice. You know, an older,…

Bald is Beautiful

As excited as I was to have my hair grow back after cancer treatments, I miss the smooth look every once in a while. Like when I’m laying in my bed in the middle of the night and am woken by a night sweat. Or when I’m just sitting here, minding my own business, and…
