I love my blog. I love ranting, blabbing about my day, sharing neat stuff I find, and just talking about whatever floats through my brain.
I am never ever “not busy,” but lately I have been even more “not busy” than ever (did that makes sense?). So my blog isn’t even on the back burner – [...]

Tomorrow I’m joining a group of friends to start a 12 week Biggest Loser contest…we did one the fall of 2008 and I won! It was a great way to get rid of all the weight I put on with Lil’ G. The problem is, I’m still carrying some extra pounds I gained when pregnant [...]

Lil’ G has a present for you, it’s a bit of happiness: check out this picture, I can’t imagine anyone not getting a little bit of a giggle or grin from it!

Miss A’s Christmas Wishlist is long and just keeps getting longer. No, there is no freakin’ way she will be getting everything on her list, not now at Christmas, nor at her birthday, nor maybe ever.
Aside from the fact that we’d have no money left for college (or next month’s electric bill), some stuff she [...]

You know that feeling you get when you first fall in love, and you have to tell everyone about so-and-so, you just can’t stop talking about so-and-so, you can’t wait to see so-and-so again?
Well, I fell in love Saturday night.
Don’t worry, the husband was with me…and no, things didn’t get kinky…(though the 2 of us [...]

So I was super excited when I found out about the International Family Holiday Card Exchange Hosted by Kids Craft Weekly. Basically, once you sign up, you will receive a list [...]

Yesterday my NaNo count was barely above 100 words, and those pathetic few were snuck in while Miss A did her math and Lil’ G ripped a bookshelf apart.
I did manage to log 7miles on the treadmill while Lil’ G napped and Miss A played dress up and watched some library DVD of Hannah Montana [...]

Right now I need to do this…my sanity depends on it.
I need to reflect on some good things, big and small that make for a good life; cuz today was a bit on the crappy side. This morning my vacuum cleaner started shooting fireworks, then just decided to shut off – which I guess is [...]

In a perfect world, I’d have a separate classroom full of organized shelves, drawers, cabinets for books and supplies, easels, desks, and lots of light.
In reality, we are more often than not “doin’ school” at the kitchen table, and most of the books are squished onto a few shelves. For the start of this school [...]

For our last full day in a park, and our second at Hollywood Studios (on a 7 day pass we spent 3 days at Magic Kingdom, 2 at Hollywood Studios, 1 at Animal Kingdom, and 1 at Epcot) we had lunch scheduled at Play N’ Dine at Hollywood and Vine.
We managed to squeeze a whole [...]
