I should re-name What's Going Well Wednesday and call it What's Going Well Whenever the Hell I Wanna Tell You 'Cause This is My Blog and Sometimes I Like Channeling My Inner Two-Year-Old. But I suppose that's a tad lengthy... We moved this summer.. We actually closed on our house two days AFTER my children started … Continue reading WGWW# — In a Slightly Tardy Fashion

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.

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
Summertime and It’s Wild Around Here
This picture has nothing to do with this post, but I'm trying desperately to pull myself out of my post-vacation funk and thought something colorful might help. The kids have been out of school for a month now, and frankly that's about all I can take. I adore them, but I am summered out. If … Continue reading Summertime and It’s Wild Around Here

Sometimes we have to consciously force ourselves into the present — at least … Continue reading Soaking Up the Happy

I have more to add but I'm trying to keep it short. So, I'm leaving you with this.....Sylvia, the Golden Retriever saint. She's in dire need … Continue reading Much-Needed Tuesday Happy
His Happy Place
I haven't written much about everything we're going through with Piers, mostly because it's taking all of my energy to simply plow through it. Things are better and for that I'm grateful. I took this photo over Easter weekend and it makes me smile every time I see it. I can't begin to describe the … Continue reading His Happy Place
The Ugly
I'm flitting from one thing to the next and can't land on one thing in particular. I've been engulfed, smothered, and consumed by a grief that I didn't know was possible. i picked up the phone Saturday around noon and heard my mom's voice, but it still feels like a dream. "Kitty's dead." I want … Continue reading The Ugly
We Survived the Weekend Once Again
