Because I Like To Ramble

Just Like Castrating A Calf

June 12, 2013

I hit the ground running, early this morning and am JUST NOW at this very moment getting to sit down and relax. (And if you know me, you know that by early, I meant before 10 AM.) There are four laundry baskets overflowing with clean clothes at my feet, but instead of folding them, I decided to [...]

Spring Is In Full Swing

April 28, 2013

Spring is in full swing. And so are my stupid allergies. They were so bad at the ball field this past week, I was ready to poke my eyeballs out. With a fork. Not to mention my nose running like a sugar tree. Both boys have itchy eyes and runny noses, and I’m dishing out [...]

Mission SLIMpossible Update

April 7, 2013

Y’all. It dawned on me this evening that I have been so wrapped up in the goings-on of this household that I left y’all hanging on our Mission SLIMpossible contest. In case you just tuned in to this show, Mission SLIMpossible is an eight-week weight loss challenge I joined back in January, along with 108 others. [...]

What I Learned This Week

April 1, 2013

It is spring break week. That means I shouldn’t have to set a stupid alarm clock. And yes, my alarm clock is stupid. I’ve actually been using my iPhone alarm instead of my alarm clock because when the electric flickers here at the McResidence (which is often!), my alarm clock decides to go nine kinds [...]

Trying To Trust

March 31, 2013

It’s been quite sometime since I’ve blogged with any consistency. The truth is, my heart hasn’t been in it. In fact, my heart hasn’t been in much of anything for the past month. You see, when something – and by something, I mean something that takes the wind out of your sails – hits your [...]

Time Is A Trainer

March 19, 2013

As I sit here tonight, one eye and ear on Dancing With The Stars and one eye and ear on my laptop, I am overwhelmed with emotion. For weeks, my family and I have been going through a valley. While I am usually pretty open with my personal business here on the blog, I always try [...]

What’s Up Doc?

March 7, 2013

I have a lot on my mind this evening, and because of that, I’m having a tough time focusing. And yes, this whole “tough time focusing” thing seems to be a trend. Still, I feel an obligation to offer up an almost-daily dose of crazy, so here I sit, wrapped up in a red Christmas [...]

Passing The Test

March 4, 2013

I am sitting on my big, blue, bloggy couch staring at my computer screen. I am at a total loss regarding what I should write about today. My weekend was chock-full of excitement, but unfortunately I’m in one of those moods where I can’t seem to pull my thoughts together. Though I could talk about the fact that [...]

Totally Random Nonsense

February 27, 2013

It is with regret that I announce that I shot my wad on the SLIMpossible diet today. While at the hospital for most of the day, I found myself with about six minutes to scarf down some “lunch”. I made a quick trip to the hospital snack bar and settled on a bag of Doritos [...]
