I believe it’s now monsoon season here in sunny FLA. It started raining long before dawn this morning and I’m not sure if it will ever stop again. Honestly, I love the rain, but not when it interferes in my plans for the day. I have not gotten to my walk yet today because I…

Healthy foods. For the most part I am happy with the healthy alternatives I have come up with in order to keep myself on track where it comes to my diet. I have cut out the mass majority of processed foods from my life (which sometimes makes me sad), not to mention calories and fats…

Getting older sucks. It just does. Here I am struggling to hold onto my youth, fighting the battle of the bulge and trying desperately to return my body back to it’s former health before I killed my metabolism and I feel like I’m failing. My body is fighting back through things like crumby knees and…

I got my desk back! After so many months of sharing my desk (and laptop and pens and space and everything) with my daughter, I finally figured out what she wanted in order for her to be happily tucked away in her room, giving me back my space so that I might be able to…

Today is the day! I am so excited because today my (almost) 18 year old son has his very first job interview! I have been anticipating this day for quite a long time now. It’s seriously a long time coming. My son has a girlfriend, so I have been supporting that relationship every month for…

I know I talk a lot about my puppy, but that’s because he is so cute and good and just my constant companion. Today I am not talking about him, though. Today I want to tell you a little bit about my kitty. Ming has been my bratty catty for quite a while. He has…

Living with teenagers presents some daily challenges that continually push adults toward madness. Seeing as how the teenagers outnumber the mature adults in our house 3 ½ : 1, we are by far pressed harder than most households. We have 7 kids in this house, ages ranging between 11 and 18 (almost). Feeding this troop…
