Finding your Housework Zen

I’m having trouble finding my ‘zen’ when it comes to house work and the like at the moment. The thought of actually having to fold the pile of clean laundry sitting on the couch makes me want to curl up into a ball and go to sleep. I know I need to clean the bathroom, [...]

Mush Brain

My brain has turned to mush this week. I know there are things I really need to get on top of, but my head is full of pirate costumes, domain names, cookie recipes, blue tiaras and all manner of insanity. This week I have struggled to remember my children’s names… let alone remember the moments [...]

Remembering a time…

Remembering a time...

Every now and then time seems to slow. It’s almost as if the flow of time is hampered by the scattering of cars across my floor, the laundry baskets piled one on top of another, and the miscellaneous shoes in odd places. Perhaps time knows that every now and then it needs to wait a [...]

Meanies and Niceys.

For a long time there were no ‘goodies and baddies’ at our house, instead there were ‘meanies and niceys’. It always made me smile when I’d hear someone say “She is the meanie one… and he is the nicey.” Yesterday I encountered my own meanies and niceys and they all surprised me in their own [...]

Nothing Ever Goes Wrong?

Nothing Ever Goes Wrong?

In my world nothing ever goes wrong….

When I first came across that quote I took it literally and dismissed it almost instantly.

Not in my world.

In my world often everything goes wrong.

Or perhaps that should be that nothing is going right.

That’s more my life.

Or is it?

Ignoring and Remembering.

Thumbnail image for Ignoring and Remembering.

Yesterday was one of those warm, still, days when you can see the heat haze in the distance and hear nothing but the hum of insects.

It was the kind of day that makes you feel like summer could be just beginning, instead of already gone.

It was a day for ignoring, and so I did.

Remembering...

I am remembering a day early this week, because tomorrow I will be at the Digital Parents Conference, enjoying an oasis of blogginess. But today… today I am stressing about what clothes to wear and whether my flubbery bits will look even more flubbery than usual. I am worrying about how I will sound when [...]
