FTSF – We Need More

I’m struggling this week. I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’ve had just about enough. Why? People are mean. People are inconsiderate. People are rude. It’s true. You know it’s true. And at risk of this appearing to be a rant (it’s not), I just really needed to say that tonight. All week I’ve tried to write this…

FTSF – After a Hard Day’s Work

After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of days have been spent at work… challenging, demanding, rewarding, exhausting, physical and emotional. After a hard day’s work, there is more. Years of after works are spent at another job more education, seminars, workshops, meetings, workouts, the things required to sustain or progress. After a…

FTSF – When We No Longer Love

I used to love the classroom. When I was a little girl, I loved school. I loved everything about it. The swirls of leaves falling outside as we walked through the door in September. The pencils, the crayons, the phonics books. I loved my Charlie Brown and Snoopy lunch box and the way lunch time…

FTSF – I Have No Proudest Moment

I have no proudest moment to share with you. I am terrible with superlatives. Favorite? Best? Proudest? Worst? I am always struck dumb when asked to name only one. After thinking about this for days, I find myself reaching the same conclusion once again. I can not name any one proudest moment.

FTSF – Time Enough for Important Things

I am a fairly cranky person. You know that character in Steel Magnolias – Ouiser? I’m her.   Given that, you might think this post would come easily. Wrong. I sat for an hour last night trying to figure out what would work for this post and came up totally blank. It’s not because I’m…

TToT – Coldness and Light

I do not like the short dark days of winter. OK, I really just don’t like winter. I can handle cold if it means above freezing. I don’t mind snow if I’m inside and it’s not in the double digits of measurable snowfall. But when the temperature reads in the single digits and the snow…

This One Time I Laughed So Hard I Couldn’t Breathe – A Finish the Sentence Friday Five

BOOM! Would you look at what I did up there with that title? I couldn’t decide if I should do a Finish the Sentence Friday post or my Friday Five this week. So you know what? I’m doing both. Together. In one post. Let’s roll… This one time, I laughed so hard I couldn’t breathe.…

FTSF – Epic Diaper Fail: A Babyzilla Story

When the timing is right to jump into something, you know. Sometimes you just need the right combination of factors to fall into place together to make you say, “OK, it’s time to try this.” I have been reading posts here and there that link up to Finish the Sentence Friday, currently hosted at my…

Headstones and Homesteads

I ran an errand to the mall today and ended up sitting at my Grandparents’ grave site. I don’t know why, really. I’m not much of a grave visitor. I had a rough day today. But I’ve had other rough days and none have sent me running to their grave. Perhaps it is just that…
