I hope I can make it one more day to the weekend. This week was busier than I imagined it would be. Being sleep deprived hasn’t helped any, either. It makes it harder to cope with stressful stuff, like when my son’s middle school called me on Monday asking if I could help them track down the [...]

Can I take a vacation from my life? Is there a place where moms can go to escape the demands of work, family, and home, without having anyone file a missing persons report because the dirty dishes piled up? If we didn’t have so much junk under our beds, maybe I could hide out there. Or [...]

I finally got some of my mulch put out on Friday, between the earthquakes and rain showers. One thing I do know– I’m getting old! I was so wore out just emptying 9 bags of mulch. I was thankful for the rain so I could stop moving my aching body. What happened to me? When [...]

The calendar says it’s spring and blooming flowers make it look like spring, but after a weekend of temps in the 30s and 40s, it sure doesn’t feel like spring. In fact, spring in the Midwest has sucked this year. The mulch I bought and didn’t spread last weekend is still sitting there, all 10 [...]
Midwest flooding

If April showers bring May flowers, what do March & April monsoons bring? Flooding, school closures, and cancelled sporting events. Track, baseball, and now a local soccer tournament have all succumbed to too much water. I’m hoping they don’t call off another day of school. We can’t afford to miss any more educational time than we already [...]
Too much rain!

When my son asked me earlier in the evening if school would be cancelled because of the rain, I said, “No way– that’s wishful thinking.” But his wish came true.
It rained all day and into the night, with more expected overnight and into the morning. The weathermen said we could have 5-7 inches of rain before [...]
Heavy rain and severe weather

We awoke at 5:15 am this morning to thunder and lightning. My alarm clock wakes me at that time anyway, but I like to hit the snooze button and pretend I’m in control of when I get to wake up. Mother Nature in the form of cats and thunderstorms does not have my permission to [...]
