Wandering amongst the pines

This morning I walked forever (really it was only 8.3 miles, but damn did it ever feel like we walked to the other side of the forest, though the trees never seemed to end). Mom was in rare form and lead us off trail, then back on again. We ended up with pups that wanted…

Soup’s on

God do I love my Sundays. I get up and head out for the farm to pickup all the veggies I could want for the week, then come home and completely trash my kitchen in the process of cleaning and chopping my take, then start cooking and planning what we will be eating for the…

Take a hike!!

What a day! Took the shepherd girls to a park for a hike with mom this morning. Originally Paige and Jen were supposed to come with, but they both passed when they realized they would have to get out of bed before 9:00am (yeah, they were none too pleased when I woke them up so…

Some might say I have a problem

Oh man, I had a damn good and super productive day! I got up early(ish) and went to my favorite farm with the bestie. It’s so nice to have a place that’s relatively local where I can get super fresh organic produce for an amazing price. See, if you actually drive all the way out…

Just Another Day in the Life

So, I went to bed last night with great intentions of getting a ton of stuff done today, including doing a full on cardio workout and cleaning my house from top to bottom. Yeah, you could say I was a bit ambitious. Needless to say things didn’t quite pan out the way I wanted them…

Monday Transportation Malfunction

What a long ass, boring Monday I had today. I had a completely lackluster day with nothing exciting to share with all of you, well except for the part where the tire on my truck went flat and I watched my boys learn how to change it (with the help of my friend/landlord next door……

And so it goes

When I started my letter writing endeavor I didn’t really plan on making any waves, and honestly my first response (from the Governor’s office) didn’t prove me wrong. As I expected, I was shoveled off to another department to be given a direction in which I could possibly find more help for my daughter, of…
