After our major transition and life disappointments I found myself not only off of the wagon but being drug by it. My weight has bounced up accordingly and after gaining 17 pounds I find renewed energy and discipline. I have been loving my Wii yoga sessions and my Wii Zumba routines. And I also stretch, [...]

… who the frack cares! Doesn’t matter what you think love is. What matters is how you show it. What benefit does anyone gain from being loved more than earth and heaven combined if they are neglected and treated like shit?

I am reading an article in the Huffington Post about worrying right now. My scholarly friend sends these to me since she worries about my worrying.

My youngest son was asking my husband about the names of the planets. More or less my son can only correctly identify saturn and earth. Today he points at one and says, “Daddy, is this one my anus?” My husband and I just laughed out loud. “It’s not ‘Your Anus’ sweety. It’s Uranus!” Ha ha [...]

First thing this morning I decided to show the boys how to make fossils. They are fascinated (at least Trey is) about bones and fossils and dinosaurs and I thought that making a fossil would be a great way to talk about how dinosaur fossils were made. So here is our fossil: I’ll post more [...]
