What's going well for you this week?
My Friends Keep Me Smiling — WGWW
What's Going Well Wednesday, friends? The following are a few recent quotes from some of my pals that gave me pause. ~~~ I told my friend Steph that I need to join a local writing group. Her response: "I'd just as soon show my vagina to the clerk at Publix than let people read my … Continue reading My Friends Keep Me Smiling — WGWW
Tuesday Snark: Things I Wish I Could Say
I'm hibernating these days. I'm keeping my hat on and my head down in the school drop-off lane. I'm declining all those glorious PTA committee chair requests -- 'Why, no, as much as I'd love to sell Krispy Kremes or head up the Second Grade Fun Run, I have to pass. Thanks so much for … Continue reading Tuesday Snark: Things I Wish I Could Say
What’s Going Well. . . Wait! What Day is It?!
Seriously, you guys, I was excited to post this week since I missed last week, but I'm all mixed up (obviously!!!) and realized this morning that . . . today is actually Thursday. Here is my disclaimer: A LOT is going well, but other things not so much -- for instance, Wallace was the first … Continue reading What’s Going Well. . . Wait! What Day is It?!
Nothing’s Going Well Tuesday
Moving might just do me in, y'all. I'm as crabby as they come. Apparently, Gil, in his get-it-done mindset, told our children to pack their stuff... then beebopped off to his office. Can I punch him, please? Guess what? They inherited their packing skills from their father. They open a box and … Continue reading Nothing’s Going Well Tuesday

Happy Wednesday, friends. It's good that I'm doing this because I sincerely need to focus on the positive... I'll leave it at that. Here are some random photos from my hanging-on-by-a-thread phone: Reading material that makes me happy. We found all the pieces! Y0u guys, I feel like I'm in the Twilight Z0ne (Please try … Continue reading What’s Going Well Wednesday — In Photos
In Case You’ve Ever Been Curious About Feline Genitalia…
Wallace: "Mom, are cat balls also called testicles?" Me: "Hmmm...that's a great question, Wal." I'm a pro at buying myself time. "I'm not sure, but I assume they are." For the moment, I'm regretting being so forthcoming with my children about sex and body parts. My goal was to normalize bodies and explain things in … Continue reading In Case You’ve Ever Been Curious About Feline Genitalia…

What’s Going Well Wednesday
It's busy around here, y'all, so this will be brief. The kids and I went to our local water park yesterday around 4, but they closed early due to a problem with their weather detecting system. We were hot and irritable but decided to stop at the nearby playground anyway. I'm glad we did. I … Continue reading What’s Going Well Wednesday
I Dream of Tiny Houses…
And now that dream is coming true. Sort of. Honestly, I'm completely kidding. Gil and I signed a contract on a house in Savannah. It's 1500 square feet but a significant downsize for us. I'm sincerely jazzed. Gil...is a builder. He grew up with a dad who was a builder. He's always been the bigger … Continue reading I Dream of Tiny Houses…
