I have discovered the secret to living with a hyper child in the throes of the terrible two’s: Locks and keys. Lock every door in your house. Keep the keys to the doors on a chain on your person. It takes a bit more effort but it cuts down dramatically on clean-up time and damage [...]
Today has been one of those days where when no matter how carefully I plan to get things done, absolutely nothing whatsoever gets done. I have no clue how this happened. For instance, I was up at 5:00 this morning showering my daughter and myself in anticipation of the coming day. We got the full [...]
You know what? I’m for never letting my weight be an issue on this blog again. I am so incredibly tired of worrying about/harping on/pondering/wondering why/railing against unfair treatment/etc., I’m just ready to get on with it. There is so much I’m missing wasting time wondering why. There is NO WHY. It just is. That [...]
Here’s something I don’t understand. I’ve got an appointment in another town and have to travel. We all get up, shower, dress in clean, color-coordinated clothing. The baby is in light pink polka-dotted leggings and a snow white tee with matching pink Hello Kitty sandals. The boy is wearing skater pants, Nikes, a cammie t-shirt. [...]

Today’s the big day! :D Welcome to everyone who found me via the contest and best of luck to us all. May we come out of this thing a little lighter and more confident we can achieve our goals. So to business: My weight this morning was 150.6 kilograms/331.3 pounds (2.2lbs in a kg). Hello [...]
Tomorrow is the first day of the weight loss challenge I’ve entered and I’m excited and looking forward to it. You can’t tell of course but trust me, my face looks like this –> ^_^ I’m also putting together a couple good luck totems to carry until the contest is over. Not because I think [...]
I don’t know if anyone’s noticed the button in my sidebar but over at Plus Size Bloggers they have a new contest coming up called ‘Summer15′. The challenge is to lose 15 pounds this summer in a 12 week period. That doesn’t sound so hard does it? And get this, during the last contest thirty [...]
I know I promised kittens but sorry, no can do. You’ll understand why in a moment. In the meantime here ya go: This is ‘Gary’, aptly named by my Spongebob Squarepants loving son. According to my son that freaked out look on Gary’s… um… eye… indicates he wants to come home with us and be [...]
Well. Here we are again. Contrary to popular rumor I am still not dead, just slightly ticked off and silently brooding. I was bound and determined not to complain or write anything that sounded remotely like complaining on this blog, but then realized I’d cut off my whole idea base. How odd. Is that all [...]
So much has happened I’m reluctant to talk about it for fear I’ll break the spell. It’s been one of those weeks where I just want to curl up and process how I feel about everything before I make a decision. Did you ever feel that way? But now I’ve arrived at the point where [...]
Surgery was last Thursday. Just got home today. Weak and tired but that’s to be expected. Hugs and love to everyone thinking of me. ^_^ More later when I’ve slept for a couple days and stopped walking funny. xxx
As I indirectly mentioned in a previous post, next week I’m being admitted for surgery. I’ve made peace with the fact. I’ve had four other major surgeries and a couple minor ones with little or no complications, so I consider myself somewhat of a veteran in this area. I’m not frightened or even overly concerned. [...]
I think I’ll call her Penelope.
The weather is slowly turning warmer. Some days it fools me into leaving the windows open for a while then remembers and chills me to the bone. The taciturn trees, not being the type to suffer such foolishness, are blooming defiantly in spite of everything. My baby has learned to stand up tall on her [...]
