As some of you may know, I was sans kids for an entire week - July 13-20th. It was a busy week with work and other stuff, but one thing I did get to do was get up in the morning and take Duma for a walk - I like doing it in the morning [...]

Oink! Oink!
The swine flu has finally found it’s way to my state. How do I know? Certainly not through the gatrillion mentions of this fact on the local news in the past 24 hours. Nope.
I know this because when I walked into Princess’ school the other day, there was a huge sign at the front desk [...]
Seasonal Allergies?
Who out there has allergies? I didn’t think I did, but I’m starting to wonder if I haven’t, somehow at the age of 36, developed some seasonal allergies.
I got a nasty cold a couple weeks ago - nasty sinus, chest, cough, throat, fever, etc. Definitely a nasty cold. Then last weekend, I started getting stuffy [...]
I’m Ditching The Gym on Friday
In another life, like just last year, I would have been lying on the couch immobile after the week I’ve had. But this year, I feel GREAT! I owe it all to the family taking up snowboarding with a vengeance this winter
In the past week I:
Spent Saturday and Sunday in the mountains for a [...]
Day 3 of Lent
It’s the start of Day 3 of Lent. I’m a recovering Catholic . . . in my previous life I was an E and C Catholic. I do, however, still observe Lent, more for my own personal reasons than for any specific religious belief. This year, I decided once again to give up sugar. In past [...]
‘Tis The Season
Let the GAMES begin! I must say that my family has been very lucky the past 18 months . . . not really an illness to speak of - not even a sniffle.
Alas, today, Princess changed all that. She had a fever when she came home from school yesterday - 101. She acted fine. You’d [...]
I Think I’m Done With That
Those were the words I heard out of Dude’s mouth when I asked him if he wanted to start gymnastics again. We took a break from gymnastics for the summer. Princess has been ready to start gymnastics for about a month now - so I signed her up. It starts today, thank goodness . . [...]
Apparently I’m “Older”
Remember when you were a kid and you could literally run all day long without getting tired? Sure you’d get home and crash at bedtime, but the next day you were right back at it . . . all. day. long. No ill side effects, other than the occasional skinned knee or black eye.
When you [...]
Wonderful Wednesday
Finally - a Wednesday that I have off, that Hubby is home, and that we don’t HAVE to do anything after we drop the kids off at summer camp. When I first started having my Wednesdays off from work, Hubby and I used them as a sort of “Date Day” - he’s gone flying so [...]
My Butt Hurts
I got up at O-Dark-Thirty today and rode my bike to work.
It’s 13.3 miles from the trailhead to the office door.
It took me one hour.
It was dark when I started.
I’ll have to start later next time so I can actually see the trail.
I’m thankful that our office has a gym with showers. I’m sure my [...]
