A Place for Peace

On a personal note . . .
Like so many other millions of people, I struggle, from time to time, with anxiety and depression. It is not something I’m proud to admit but I feel the subject(s) of both anxiety and depression are too often ignored. When disorders such as these are ignored or disregarded, the [...]

WARCRACK

I suppose it was inevitable . . . Once I tried it I was hooked. I used to tease my son with regard to WORLD OF WAR CRAFT, hence . . . WAR CRACK . . . LOL

Initially, I was confused and a bit irritated as my oldest would rather spend all day [...]

PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS

I have always believed we live our life in ’stages’. For example, I am not the same person I was twenty years ago, not even ten years ago. If we do not change, we do not grow.

I’ve been wondering about one phrase in particular . . . The phrase is [...]

It’s a beautiful Friday morning here at the Shores. My oldest son is outside painting the garage, for $25 . . . lol, and the hubby is off to another day of work at the ol’ trade center. The realtor we’re working with has a few more buildings to show us with regard [...]

The weather has been nice the past few days. Living out here I don’t seem to mind the rain as much. Where I once considered the grey, rainy days depressing, I now see them as comforting, a time to relax, maybe sleep in, cook something good.

I finished M’s lesson plans for the next week. He’s [...]

I’ve noticed that since we’ve moves to the Shores, everyone seems to be healthier, despite the bout of stomach flu that has found it’s way into our home. In addition to that, I can’t remember a time when ‘all’ of the kids were so happy all at the same time. I’m not sure if it’s [...]

The Flu

I cannot say for certain, but it seems A has acquired a small dose of e-bola or some foreign disease as of late. A began vomiting at about midnight and has continued to do so throughout the night. G just took N to school and will be returning home shortly with Vernor’s and Coca-cola for [...]

Forgetting Ourselves, Literally

Today . . . I am still taking stock. I explored the area a little more today, walked to the park after a frustrating drive home with coc #2 and #3.
Coc #3 went on a field trip today with her class to Greenfield Village where they had class in the one room schoolhouse and [...]

Choose Carefully

I thought that ‘here’ everything would be perfect, easier, and for a moment it was. Life moves forward, with or without us, most of the time I feel as if I am running a step or two behind, much of the time waving my hands trying to catch up.

This morning, looking at my [...]

Settling In

We seem to have acquired another ‘worm’ so I’m having trouble downloading. I’ve taken some pictures of the new house and the canal and will post them as soon as I can get the pictures off my camera. Seems I never had these problems when I was using a Mac.
Anyway, things at [...]
