Not exactly according to plan

Yesterday didn’t go at all according to my grand scheme. I was not able to stay off the computer as much as I’d hoped — I had a work project to complete. I did refrain from reading blogs, and only checked email for ones regarding the project. Duck worked from home which always throws my [...]

End of School — Beginning of One Hot Summer

Yesterday was the last day of school for Doodle, and I didn’t send her. They weren’t doing anything — they’d already had their end of the year party Wednesday. I was amazed at how much pizza a third grade boy can put away. Seriously, Doodle doesn’t eat anything compared to some of those kids. She’s [...]

Life from the Laundry Room

It really sounds like a blog name, but it’s just describing my day — today. Because you see, I don’t go to the laundry room that often. At least, not as much as I should.
Today I was determined to “just do laundry” if I did nothing else. I was on a roll. Folding clothes from [...]

Youth Athletic Associations

As you may remember, Duck and I coached Doodle’s Upward Basketball team. Upward is a wonderful organization that allows the kids to not only learn about the sport, but also Jesus. They make sure to tell the coaches to be positive toward the kids, parents and referees even if they disagree. The atmosphere there is [...]

You know you’re in trouble when …

Mom IM’s you to make sure you’re still alive — because it’s been for-e-ver since you blogged!
I’ve actually had quite a few people get on me for not blogging lately. So here’s a somewhat update since the last blog post.
Charter School: Well, I went to the lottery. I was really disappointed because Doodle is #31 [...]

YATIDF!

Yet Another Thing I Didn’t Finish!
Yep, I’ve officially blown the 30-day challenge. It’s actually quite often I start out something such as this with great excitement and anticipation — only to flop about halfway through it. I usually get distracted with other *stuff*. In this case it’s been distraction by sinus headaches (dern air pressure [...]

Unconditional Love

Unconditional love and unconditional friendship have been a common theme in my life the past few weeks. I’ve been pondering the awesomeness of the unconditional love Jesus shows us. While we strive (or should strive) to be more like Jesus every day, it’s hard for us to show unconditional anything!
We are very self-centered. If you [...]

My “Better Half” is pure genius!

You just don’t know how hard it was for me to write that. It feels very permanent. More so than just telling him. But he is perrty smart. He encouraged me to workout, which seems to be working well.
AND
My glove has a velcro strap that tightens to help hold it on my hand. One part [...]

Wuhoo! Second Gear!

My “Better Half” said I actually looked like I made it into 2nd gear last night at my ball game! I’m so excited He said it was the best game he’s seen me have in a very, very long while. I haven’t been working out but just a week, and I could definitely tell [...]
