iPPP: Spring!

I love May. April showers have brought May flowers, in so many ways. Flower #1: I have officially secured employment! Yes, I *finally* got some good news!! Ask (and ask and ask and ask) and ye shall receive! Flower #2: After my echocardiogram next week, I should be done with doctors for a few months….

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Aha!!}

I woke up to a screaming child this morning. I fed the kittens, changed their pants, and set them free in the living room. After coffee, an excitement has settled in. I figured it out. The past week has been an energy draining and emotional eye opener. I think I hit on something Friday and…

Random Musings

So, this was a fun week! By fun, of course, I mean ridiculously emotional, stressful to the point of spontaneously groaning, and that my children chose the wrong week to discover the power button on the TV, how to climb the recliner, and “the screaming stage”. If I ever wished that “Uncle” meant something to…

Bad Days Get Better

Today is just one of those days. The burden is heavy and there’s no real relief in sight, only in promise. I’m having to dig deep into my faith bucket and to let God provide refuge from this storm. There are many problems with no immediate solutions. There are chores, but no energy. There are…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {Rumors}

I’m pissed off today and venting. You’ll excuse me. Yes? Consider it an open letter… We all know the anatomy of a rumor. Someone sees or hears information they don’t understand, they make an assumption, and then they tell someone else, then that person tells someone, and then four people later, it comes back to…

iPPP: It’s Drawestin (among other things)

I got an iPhone for BIRTHDAY and to say that I’ve been having fun with it is an understatement.  For one thing, I can actually text, which is such a huge bonus, I could cry. My Droid took it upon itself to collapse the keyboard every time I finished poking in a word. Let me…

Random Musings Friday!

Linking up with Shana at Fumbling Towards Normalcy!  * Nobody likes to be wrong, but sometimes it happens and then I, personally, crawl in a hole and hide until the red face wears off. So this week, one of my Facebook friends inquired about grilling. I am not a grilling master by any stretch of…

Hump Day Happy!

FIRST!  HAPPY BIRTHDAY, CAROLINE!  I hope today is as fantastic as it should be! You deserve every bit of BIRTHDAY fun! As far as Aprils go, this one doesn’t suck! I had a fantastic job interview on Monday, and like dating, I’m now in the two day wait. Today is day two. I have no…

Stream of Consciousness Sunday! {I Want To…}

Linking up with Fadra this morning, as per usual! She’s talking about things she doesn’t want to do.  That could entail any number of things for me, so instead, I’m going to write about things I want to do that are challenging me right now, for whatever reason. (and maybe one thing I don’t want…

Random Musings Friday!

Linking up with Shana at Fumbling Towards Normalcy! You should, too!  * Let’s get this out of the way so we can focus on other happier, funnier things. I had to go back on my heart meds this week. I’m none too pleased about it. It’s probably my fault for not eating correctly the past…
