    2019-04-28 The Miracle of New Life – Part 2

    We have four Zebra Finches.. two boys and two girls. The boys’ names are Captain and Thor and the girls are Tennille and Fauna. I call her “fat Fauna” cuz that’s the only way to tell the two girls apart. Fauna is just a little bigger. No way for us to tell which one has…

  • 2019-04-25 The Miracle of New Life – Part 1

    This morning I woke up in Lincoln Nebraska. We’re here for a conference Jim is attending and at the present moment he’s at the welcome breakfast and I’m in the exercise room at the hotel. I like to travel but I also love being at home, sleeping in my own bed, and going about my…

    2019-04-24 Today I’m Cutting My Hair

    I’m definitely still adjusting to all the changes in my life. Sometimes I still can’t believe the path I’m on now and sometimes, in a quiet moment when I have space to reflect on my life, I question the Universe and it’s grand plan. It is in those instances that I return to doubt. Life…

    My children are 17 and almost 15. They sleep past noon on weekends and have attitudes and issues and we often don’t see each other’s point and of view clearly. But I love them dearly. Someday I’d like to be able to find the right words that can accurately reflect exactly what that love feels…

    I’ve had an earlier than typical morning because I had to get C to school by 7:20 for a Spanish study session. /yawn Had we not had the annual IEP multi-disciplinary meeting yesterday afternoon I would not have known. The Spanish teacher called it out in her summary statement. That was after I asked if…

  • 2019-04-17 Redemption – It’s the Little Things

    After all my emotional ranting yesterday, one might think I would have felt better, but the sour day continued long into the afternoon. It was a frustrating work day and the pickup of the kids from school wasn’t much better. Traffic was hell and I almost died like theee times (not counting when I made…

  • 2019-04-16 Tuesday Two For One – Random Rant

    (Spoiler Alert – Angry Parent Rant accompanied by a sad Parent Moment ahead)… It’s Tuesday and We are back to our normal routine. The morning drive to school, the balancing act between work and everything else, and of course daily contemplation about the universe and my purpose in it. My mind did not rest easy…
