I have been thinking about this post for weeks. What do I want to say? What can I say? What should I say? Then I realized that it’s already been written for me. Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes, Five hundred twenty-five thousand Moments so dear. Five hundred twenty-five thousand Six hundred minutes How … Continue reading »

Still Crazy Busy
Phew. I thought the appeal I worked on last summer, or the trial this fall had me going crazy, but it turns out the post-trial motions are even more exhausting! I’ve written 45 pages thus far, and I’m guessing we’ll level out around 75 pages when everyone’s sections are put together. Good times. In great … Continue reading »
First Real Winter Snow
We’ve had a few dustings, and who can forget the lovely pre-Halloween snowfall that led to power outages for weeks. But today is the first “real” winter snow, and I am so incredibly excited about it. Such a gorgeous sight. And thanks to a fairly easy winter so far, no whining here! Shoveling will be … Continue reading »
Writing Delay
My apologies to those of you who follow my blog. It’s been an incredibly busy work week and all I’ve been doing is reading and writing legal material, so my capacity for “fun” writing has been greatly diminished. Girl has been doing her best to deprive me of sleep, but I think it’s because her … Continue reading »
Those Unfocused Days
Ever have one of those days where you go through the motions, and you do indeed accomplish a few things, but for some reason that you can’t understand you just seem incapable of focusing in and getting things done? That was me yesterday. I did a little work, a little housework, wasted some time online. … Continue reading »
New Craft Project – Tie Ribbon Wreath
This past weekend turned into an impromptu weekend of craft projects for me, which was great. I thought I would blog them separately so I can include pictures and not overwhelm one single post. I will start with the tie ribbon wreath I made. I started with this tutorial over at The Long Thread. It … Continue reading »
When Being a Working Mom Really Sucks…
I know there’s always a huge debate about whether staying at home or working is harder, and which is better, blah blah blah. But you know what? Do you know when being a working mom (something I normally am fond of) really sucks? When your kids are sick. Because I want to be home with … Continue reading »
Progress, Paces, and Puking
It’s been a long day and it’s only 10:30 a.m. Progress. I logged every bite I ate yesterday, and while it wasn’t a perfect day, it was certainly much better than my eating habits have been over the past year. Baby steps, self, baby steps. Paces. Yesterday I got myself out of the house and … Continue reading »
Tutus, Tiaras, & Glitter
Mr. Acorns was sick last week so I packed up Boy and Girl and headed north on Friday afternoon. I was driving 170 miles to go hang out with some girls in a bar. Sounds crazy, right? Boy, was it worth it! The Backstory: Shortly after Mr. Acorns proposed to me, way back in 2002, … Continue reading »
The Mommy – Real World Disconnect
I was skirting the issue of politics the other night in a discussion with a friend, when we both pointed out that neither of us has been really following much news, politics, or real-world happenings lately. I will call it the mommy disconnect, but it clearly applies to fathers and any primary caregiver or stay/work … Continue reading »
