April 21, 2007 | 6 Comments

It’s sunny and 70 degrees here in the Northeast today. We’ve worked out in the yard, gone to the school to collect donations for the 5th and 6th grade fundraiser and dad and son went panning for gold
Now I’m going to shower off the layer of grime that has collected from working in […]

In Memoriam

April 20, 2007 | 1 Comment

Today is a Day of Mourning for the VA Tech victims. My prayers go out to the families of those that lost their lives so senselessly. We, as a nation, need to fix this problem - this form of terrorism that happens all too often on our own soil. The War on Terror should be […]

My former employer just called and offered me a temporary job. Another attorney is leaving the firm to move to a court position in October. She was up front with her secretary about the career change and her secretary applied for and was offered a position at another firm that starts in two weeks. Since […]

Emotional Silence

April 11, 2007 | 5 Comments

Last night I lost my voice. I’m not sick. I don’t have laryngitis. I just couldn’t find the strength within me to speak anymore. Each day stacks on top of the last. My mental exhaustion was the greatest it’s been since we started on this journey to get my husband well.
Today we are going to […]

Another week draws to a close. I can’t believe it’s over. I have been out of work for 4 weeks now and it seems like a couple of days. I feel as though I’ve gotten very little accomplished and I cannot figure out where the time went.
A lot of people had asked me how […]

April 4, 2007 | 3 Comments

I can’t tell you how glad I was to read this post and find out that I wasn’t too late to enroll in this challenge. I had taken all of my pictures yesterday but, as is becoming the norm, I was once again consumed by my husband’s medical problems.
I hadn’t planned on participating in […]

Busy weekend once again. Are they ever quiet? We had family over on Saturday night and menu planning really helped with these last minute guests. I keep a list of all potential meals that I have ingredients for on a dry erase board in my kitchen next to the family calendar. In a pinch I […]
