TToT – A Dizzying Week

There is certainly no dearth of thankfulness this week! So many things have happened – and happened well, at that. It’s been a good week all around. Kind of a head-spinning week, really. So while I have much to be thankful for, I found it sort of overwhelming to sort it all out, put it…

What We Saw at the Hot Dog Joint

If you’re looking for the Mama Kat’s Writer’s Workshop post, click here! I had a terrible craving for a hot dog this week. While any hot dog probably would have done the trick, I figure it’s best to go with the tried and true in a case like this. Since we were out running errands…

TToT – Continued Progress

It doesn’t seem possible that a week has passed already. I can’t say I’m happy about how fast these days have flown. I need this summer to stretch long before us…we have a lot to do. And that’s exactly what we’ve been doing this week – a lot. We’ve continued to work on our Great…

Summer Sundays

It’s amazing how one thing – a scent, a sound – can transport you back in time to a memory you didn’t even know you had… Sunday’s weather was glorious – warm, but not too hot. The sky was blue and filled with puffy white clouds – the kind that look like beautifully huge cotton…

A Message

I had an overwhelming experience today. I’ve been beyond frustrated lately. Frustrated and angry and upset, really, because I just want this long period of … argh … to come to an end. Or if not an end, then just a pathway toward an end. That’s all. My funk is so thick right now that…

TToT – Back From My Break

A friend recently told me that she wasn’t aware I was taking a break from posting here. Neither was I. But it seems that’s exactly what I’ve done. Other than my TToT posts, the last few weeks have indeed been something of a blogging break here. It’s not a bad thing and I’m not apologizing…

TToT – Snow and Ice Edition

Is it really the end of the week? I’m not sure exactly how that happened. Maybe it’s because we had a three day week again…snow days Thursday and Friday and here we are in the very wee hours of Saturday already. So yeah, I’m so not prepared for TToT yet. I think we’ll wing this…

A Thank You Party

“Mom, why are they decorated for the Fourth of July in here?” Kidzilla asked this toward the end of our meal at a local restaurant on Saturday evening. Sure enough, the place looked ready for an Independence Day celebration. There were sprays of red, white, silver, and blue stars shooting up out of vases on…
