I have a captive audience this week, since my children aren't going to school. Yesterday, they did those stadium stairs with me. Today, Moses ran errands with me - on foot. We still have to hit the pool for a good long swim this week, and take our mountain hike. Plus a crossfit stadium stair … Continue reading Tuesday Thoughts on Fitness…

A Garfield Monday…
I haven't read the Garfield cartoon in a long time. My children, however, read it frequently. This morning was complete and utter mayhem, to the point that the kiddos and I were somewhat hysterical on our way to school. They both started quoting Garfield to me: Maddie: "You know it's a Monday when you're attacked … Continue reading A Garfield Monday…
Friday Philosophy…Discombobulated
That's me today. I am disconcerted and confused. It's really unfortunate, because our morning was meant to be relaxing. Instead, it has been a bit of a comedy of errors. I regained my humor (finally) when I dropped the car keys while getting into the car in the garage and then couldn't find them for … Continue reading Friday Philosophy…Discombobulated
I Was Cool! For Just a Minute…
If I had blinked, I would have missed it. 🙂 My daughter read my book. She finished it and gave me very high praise indeed: "This is SOOOOO cool, Mom! You're cool!" See? I was cool. Right up until tonight. My little guy loves to dance with me. Tonight, he asked me to teach him … Continue reading I Was Cool! For Just a Minute…
Saturday, We Get Published!
For those of you who do not know this, my partner, "Lara Croft the Tumour Raider" (haha) is Greek. Every month, on the very first day of the month, she and her entire family wish everyone "Kalo Mina." Translated into English, this means "good month." Or, maybe I'm mistranslating, and it should be the entire … Continue reading Saturday, We Get Published!
Wednesday…Earning Its Rep!
My Maddie had an injury, that was reinjured yesterday. It was nothing. Until yesterday. But my girl is SUCH a tough cookie, with a pretty darn high pain threshold...she was telling me "No, thanks" to my offers of an all-expense paid trip to the emergency room. We iced her ankle, we elevated her ankle, she … Continue reading Wednesday…Earning Its Rep!
Of Dinosaurs and Gunfire…
Believe it or not, those two things are related. 🙂 When I miss out on sleep, I get punchy and a bit crazy. Crazy funny, not dangerous. Just so you know. So, this morning, my eyes flew open just past 2:00 am, from a horrible horrible horrible nightmare. I was so absolutely terrified, that I … Continue reading Of Dinosaurs and Gunfire…
A New Day, A New Year…
Last year, just a few days into the year, I read many blogs in which writers were committing to posting a blog per day. I thought that was a great idea. I didn't do it. Welcome to 2014, and the year of one blog post per day! I'm on the band wagon now, and feeling … Continue reading A New Day, A New Year…
Writing Updates and Tuesday Thoughts…
I just finished NaNoWriMo 2013, as everyone on my Facebook and Twitter know by now. I believe I did a few all caps lock status updates, I was so excited. Then I celebrated with Lara and the kids by jumping up and down and cheering. I followed that with a glass of wine. I haven't … Continue reading Writing Updates and Tuesday Thoughts…
Lazy Sundays…I wish!
This morning my eyes popped open and I thought the alarm hadn't gone off. Never mind the fact that it was an hour earlier than our week day alarm time, I had forgotten it was still the weekend. As soon as I realized it was Sunday, what did I do? Jumped out of bed and … Continue reading Lazy Sundays…I wish!
