  • 2017-07-31 Surfing the Surface

    I’m waking up on this last day of July that just happens to be a Monday and thinking about all sorts of things. I’m thinking about new people I have met, and all my commitments stacking up already this week, and the fact that the kids go back to their dad’s house today and what…

  • 2017-07-29 Untraveled Roads

    We traveled about two hours deeper into the heart of Nebraska to find a new place to play. We landed at the Island Oasis of Grand Island about 2:30PM. Shortly after that the kids disappeared. They dissolved into the wave pool and became one with the water. It’s 4:30 now and I’ve got my eyes…

  • 2017-07-29 It’s a Doozie.. 1.5

    Yesterday I had plans to take the kids to go have lunch with my Dad and his wife and they live across the river in Council Bluffs, Iowa. I let them pick the place and of course, they pick someplace in Council Bluffs because for some reason they rarely come across to this side of…

  • 2017-07-28 Two Dates in One Day

    Yesterday turned out OK despite me feeling like I was vastly over-committed. Strange enough, I’m way over booked today but don’t feel near the pressure as I did yesterday. Maybe that’s because none of it today has anything to do with meeting new people or trying to “put on” for an *almost* complete stranger. It’s…

  • 2017-07-27 “Just Say Yes” Can Lead to a Mess

    Yesterday in the midst of several different goings-on durning my now normal-ish routine, I found myself feeling the all-too-familiar feeling of being quite overwhelmed with commitments. It’s a rush of anxiety that sweeps through me and momentarily distracts me from the present moment and into the future where I’m thinking of half a dozen things…

  • 2017-07-26 Rainy Day Rambling

    During the high heat of the summer, on a day when the long stretch of 90+ degree days seems to have been endless, I wake up in my bed longing for a brisk fall or even winter type day when I can don my long, warm, fuzzy pajama pants and make myself a nice hot…

  • 2017-07-25 On Parenting

    A couple days ago I blogged three times in one day. That does not happen unless I am either heartbroken or super-bored. I’m thanking my lucky stars it was the latter and not the former because having a broken heart sucks all. The kids are back home now and despite struggling with parenting sometimes, something…

  • 2017-07-23 Sunday Status Update – The Bumble Edition

    I stopped doing normal Sunday status updates because, well, the sleep still goes up and down, the exercise is pretty consistent, and there is nothing noteworthy about my dietary intake. I mean, how boring can one life be anyway? So today instead I’ll be reporting live from the front line of the dating war. I…
