Problems

I want to blog…really I do, but I was way overdue with my change of contact lenses and I’m suffering. I just hope it isn’t an infection because my left eye is killing me. The only relief I get is when it’s closed, and that just makes me tired, so I’m predicting a very early [...]

Keeping it short…

It was a long day. I’m coming undone at the seams…but the Steelers beat the Browns so I can go to bed with a smile.

Time to do something

World Diabetes Day is next week and I really hope it raises awareness around the globe for what often feels like a disease people know absolutely nothing (correct) about. Even those who carry the diagnosis are often uneducated about which type they have and how to control it. When I am out with my children [...]

Two posts in one day…how’s that for NaBloPoMo

I cannot get this song out of my head. They play it on my station WJCU 88.7 at least once a day, and I have to admit that I love it, as does Liv. Enjoy.

It’s cold

The flurries are falling outside, which means winter is fast approaching, so I went shopping this morning for running tights to replace the sad pair of spandex leggings I currently wear from my high school track days (they are old…very old, and do a horrible job of keeping me warm). Shopping for running tights is [...]

Count to 10

I’ve started reading this in order to gain some control around here because there are days (like today) when it feels like everything around me is unraveling. Kade can be a challenge, and it can be darn near impossible to get through to him when he’s spiraling into one of his fits, so I find [...]

In a fog…

Ever have one of those days where you look around at all of the things you need to get done, and laugh when you realize it’s never going to happen? I could barely get out of bed this morning, and felt like I deserved a medal for getting Kade to school…on time…with matching clothes. I [...]

Sunday…snotty Sunday…

Our efforts to keep the kids up an hour later last night in order to smoothly transition into the time-change were futile. Kade and Liv started stirring at 6 and the blessed extra hour of sleep I was promised quickly vanished. As my eyes adjusted to the dark, attempting to move my head took enormous [...]

Future olympic athlete

Kade’s interest in running makes me smile. On a recent school field trip to a nature reservation, the guide asked the students to point out what they saw around the pond and Kade yelled out, “a runner.” Sure enough…a man was in the distance clocking in some late morning miles. I simply patted his head [...]

Finding my way…

Deciding what to blog about is the hardest part. Do I want this to be a “mommy-blog” where I chronicle the daily craziness that happens around here while I struggle under the control of my three and one year old dictators? Do I want this to be a “running-blog” where I log in my miles, [...]
