Musings of an adventurous empty nest mom on everything under the sun.
This is the reward the players get when they shutout the other team. This was a huge victory today against a team which beat us last year by a last minute touchdown. Our coach was stressing all week about it - he wanted payback so bad. During practices all week he had been deadly serious... Continue Reading →
T- 3 days to the beginning of the Great Floor Project. I will call to order the dumpster to be delivered on Monday. A dead car of the Firstborn needs to be moved first. Then he has several days off in a row and it is his job to move the furniture into the garage... Continue Reading →

Then something happends to spawn more ideas and I am just spilling over!! Perhaps this blogging thing has created a monster. I've spent my... Continue Reading →
One year since the levees broke. The New Orleans blog that I link to has this one line post for today: WE ARE NOT OKThat says it all. My relatives are finally settled into a new house outside Baton Rouge, but they still have to tend to their old property until insurance can be settled,... Continue Reading →
When I wrote the Dkos diary on cancer and the many sites and organizations to support, part of my inspiration for that was of course participating in the 3-day walk again. However, another part was the shock I got from watching Lance Armstrong host the ESPY awards and say that one half of those in... Continue Reading →
Let's see, in the month of August Little Man has 22 football practices scheduled. I have been responsible for getting him there 17 times. Already, as in, today will be number 17. His dad will take him the last three next week. Which means that I've had 17 weekdays out of 19 this month where... Continue Reading →
