Hey there!
This stream of consciousness is intended to be an unfiltered account of my journey to fight my way to a healthier, happier life. One day at a time, one step at a time, one organically-grown-emotionally-raw blog post at a time…

2018-03-19 Delayed Sunday Status – The “Big News” Edition
What day is it again? I’ve been traveling on a new track and apparently left my sense of time a few stops back. Oh yeah.. Monday. It’s been a few days since I’ve done anything resembling my normal routine, and my balance was definitely off this past weekend. I’m going to try and rediscover my…

2018-03-16 Lifted Curses?
I survived the Ides and to my knowledge so did my loved ones. Time to take a deep breath and exhale a sigh of relief and turn attention to the flip side of the Ides which is St. Patrick’s day. It’s another day my family is very keen on observing even though there’s only a…

2018-03-15 Ohhh the Ides
One doesn’t have to look too far to find why this day in history has been marked with a black cloud .. for Ceasar and for my Family. Every year we sort of hold our breath waiting for March to pass. I don’t want to repeat myself and I wrote a little about it last…

2018-03-14 Made it with 4 Minutes to Spare
When we walked in, we were blindfolded and handcuffed and led down a hallway, hands on the shoulder of the person in front of us. Then, one by one we were placed in a dark room, behind bars. We’d just been kidnapped and had one hour to escape. That was the scene yesterday afternoon at…

2018-03-13 Fire 🔥 and Ice ❄️
I said upfront that it is what it is. Organic is a nice way to say unprocessed and unfiltered. That means that sometimes you get unfiltered awesomeness and sometimes it’s just rotten. Today I have a rant about my ex (husband) and if I remember before I’m done writing, I also want to contemplate a…

2018-03-12 The Thin Mint Struggle
Welcome to a new week and we’re rolling into mid March like lambs and lions living together.. real pre-old testament stuff. Sooth sayers and Ceasar slayers, Shakespeare rising from his grave. Beware.. the mass hysteria. The kids are already enjoying their spring break by staying up late on a Sunday and sleeping in. I’m back…

2018-03-11 Sunday Funday Status Update
Today my atypical weekend continued. I started my Sunday with the usual 8:30 Jazzercise class, but skipped any gym time and went for tea with a friend instead. I fit a little bit of work in, went shopping with Z for sweet 16 party supplies, and then to my Dad’s with the kids so we…

2018-03-10 We All Have A Set List
If there was such a thing as a regular Saturday routine, I’m off it today. It’s mid-afternoon and I just made it to the gym. I’m in the hot-box and it’s so hot I feel like my skin is going to catch fire. Normally this dry heat sauna is my Jam but maybe I’m not…

2018-03-09 French Fry Day
This morning I woke with a headache which was half blutini and half cycle day one trying really hard to make an appearance (presumably). I only had two drinks at dinner last night so it can’t just be all that. Despite my spidey-sense being off when it comes to meeting new people lately, I decided…

2018-03-08 Wandering Thursday Thoughts
Today is going to be action packed.. but first.. gym time. I took C to school early this AM for a study session to prep for a social studies test. How terrible! I always hated social studies. History, government, anything that was anything about something so 100 years or more ago. Yuk!! I still feel…

2018-03-07 Exactly Right Now
Sometimes you just have to go with the flow, you know. After school today, everyone was pretty tired (except C who is never too tired to dive into a video game). We chilled on the couch talking for a while waiting for the kids’ Dad to show up and present Z with cut flowers. 🙄…

2018-03-07 Exactly Sixteen Years Ago
Last night I could barely keep my eyes open past 9PM, I was so tired. I’m truly not sure what I was so tired from, because I barely did anything at all yesterday. I didn’t really work and did mostly running around shopping for my Z and a little writing. Dinner with the kids and…
