Must Whine


So, I have had a tummy ache for 3 days now. I have been watching what I eat pretty closely. Bottom line is, I think I can't eat anything. I am almost sure that water is OK, but everything else is out. I know man cannot live by bread alone, but can woman live by water alone? I am so tired of reading labels and checking my "corn free" list. OK, whining over.

The key to happiness


I keep thinking my sad excuse for not blogging is a severe lack of time. The even sadder excuse is that I have nothing to blog about. I didn't want to sit and blog about how stressed out I am (been there, done that), or how little time I have (pretty sure I've told that story too). I keep wanting to start a craft blog, but I clearly don't have time to blog in general let alone try and blog about crafty stuff. So here I sit with not much to blog about.
I am feeling like a reasonably good mother these days. I made Becka 2 new outfits to wear to her conference hooey. I helped Courtney make a crown that looks like King Tut's head piece. I spent some quality time with Scott and Ryan because Brian took the little girls off for an adventure. I hope I help Lizzy, I feel like we talk lots, and we went on a great walk the other night. I tried to help Alex with her math tonight but I fear she is perilously close to being smarter than me.
For the first time in...forever...I have a pretty nice week ahead. As I think about it, there is lots going on, just nothing I have to worry or feel guilty about. This is a big deal because I feel guilty or worried about pretty much everything. I did realize late today that I had inadvertently skipped a week. I was thinking this was the week before Halloween (I'm pretty sure it's not). Thinking about it, that is probably why I am so optimistic about my upcoming week. It's an extra week! A gift of a whole week. Wahoo!
I may have just stumbled across the key to happiness!
