Dream houses
May 16, 2009
My daughter and I were wandering around Lowe's yesterday, which is always a dangerous thing. It is so easy to think of lots of ways to spend lots of money in there! And the demos, and the pictures of the rooms in the dream houses, full of claw tubs and
vessel sinks. SO many very cool looking ideas. We are not at that point in life right now. I'm more about duct tape and superglue, but maybe someday... We'll see what the future holds!

How safe to be?
May 16, 2009
It's so hard to figure out the right balance of stuff with finances, isn't it? How much debt is okay to accrue? How much should we try to save? What health insurance do we pick? Should we get
mortgage life insurance? How much life insurance do we need? So many questions that I feel so unqualified to figure out, but it seems like I'm supposed to know! The fun of being a grownup! :)

Who knew?
May 16, 2009
Who knew being a mommy was such hard work?
I entered this mommy thing with all of the arrogance of most young moms - I could do this thing hands down! As the years go by, however, I realize more and more how little I know, and how much more little I knew back then! I also realize that being a parent is much more of a marathon than a sprint. There may be little bursts of intense running in there, but mostly it's just perseverance, going going going when you feel like you can't go anymore! Right now is one of those moments - time for a water break! It has been a non-stop morning, and I feel like if I even attempted to lift a laundry hamper right now, that would be it. I am wiped out! But, like I said, water break. A few minutes to refresh myself, clear my head, and off we go again! Someday, probably when they're parents too, my kids will understand!! :)

Exercise? Eating right? What else will help?
May 12, 2009
Why does it seem like we have such a problem with our weight in this culture? We have more exercise spots and health clubs than ever before. We have shelves full of diet and reduced fat foods in the grocery stores. We even have tons of supplements and pills, like
Liporexall, to help us on our quest for losing weight. Still we struggle.... (I say this as I sip a 32 ounce Mt.Dew - maybe a clue there!!!)

Feet, wonderful feet!
May 12, 2009
It's the beginning of summer, well almost, and I'm realizing that I am going to have to get over my uber-cheapness and do some clothes shopping for myself pretty soon. I have shorts that I've had longer than my kids have been alive, and well, I need to move on!!! Besides that, I may even have to buy shoes, which I really don't like doing. I am an abnormal female, I know, but I don't like to shop. I do enjoy being able to browse things online, though, so I can cut down my time in the actual stores!! I found a site that's new to me,
Dansko, that has all sorts of shoes... Lots of different styles and sizes. Hmmm - maybe I can skip dragging everyone to the store altogether!?! Happy Day!
