Milestones are weird. The culmination of years, tiny steps and near misses, all come together in one day. A ceremony celebrating a right of passage or an achievement. Katlyn graduated from Xavier College Prep today. Four years of homework and tests, crazy schedules and days when she just didn’t want to get out of bed.…
Life is…well, it’s interesting. I’m pretty comfortable with the idea of reincarnation. It makes sense that our soul would come back after our body gets tired and dies. I’ve had that feeling that I’ve “known someone before” and I’m not just talking about my odd attraction to Brett Favre. Of all the after death theories,…
Well, I’m 40, have been for almost 7 months now. It’s official and I’m really good with it. A few weeks before the big day, I informed Michael that I just didn’t want to do it. I had chosen not to turn 40…just no. As if I had a choice. What kind of psychotic control…
Michael has this theory, brace yourself. He believes that people should be out living their lives and not watching others. He’s all about getting the most out of everything and I have to chain him to the chair to get him to watch a movie or a video clip or…you get the idea. He likes…
“Have tos” by my definition are things that must be done no matter what else happens. Some are required, but still fun and others, not so much. When you work and are married with three children, you never need worry about feeling wanted because 95% of your life is occupied with “have to”. I don’t…
Firsts. I’m notorious for having a poor memory, but there are some firsts I do remember. If I remember it, I can recall more of the feeling or environment, I am quite well known for missing the details. Here’s an example, one of my previous posts had a picture of my kids sitting outside a…
I read and article that women should sleep on their back and always on a silk pillow case. The silk keeps your hair from tangling and breaking and you sleep on your back so you don’t mush your face into the pillow and cause wrinkles. Yeah, I sleep on my stomach, face full on mashed…
There have been times in my life when I’ve been told things I didn’t want to hear. We all have a tendency to go along in our own world, believing what we tell ourselves because it’s easier. If things are not as we imagine them then we’ll have to change, do something about it. That…
I really like See’s Candy. I like to go into the store. It reminds me of Michael’s grandmother and it’s special. I suppose you can get candy anywhere and pay a lot less or get a larger amount, but I go to See’s. Every time I pick up candy for Easter or Christmas I get…
