Today I am taking some time to get out my new gel pen set and journal. I decided that what this blog needs is more pretty pictures...and raw, honest pictures too. But life at home is beautiful, and I want to savor every moment.

Busy Day Planned
Tomorrow is the first day back to the grind after having my family home for a four day weekend. I've been really unwell the past couple of weeks, and there is much I need to catch up on. So here's a partial list of things I have to do tomorrow. Organize the master bedroom Mop … Continue reading Busy Day Planned
On the Mend
I was physically and mentally not feeling well last week. Then my inlaws arrived last Thursday. So between physical illness, Bipolar, and my inlaws coming to visit, I have been too wrapped up to write here. It has been a very hard week. This weekend I am doing better physically. I went to church and … Continue reading On the Mend
Hard Week
This week has been a rollercoaster, not to sound cliche. Life with a mood disorder often is. We finally got some sun this weekend, but we are back to another sheet of slate in the sky. It is draining me. Today I had to go to the doctor for an ekg, and then I treated … Continue reading Hard Week
Lovely Day
Today we went into the city to go to an art museum dedicated to what is traditionally seen as craft or woman's work. It was fascinating! There were some really deep, beautiful things there, and I got some nice photos. We went out to lunch after the museum, then went back to town and grabbed … Continue reading Lovely Day
Dogs, Church, Park
I'm sad this evening because my husband determined that we are not in a position to foster a dog. He thinks I will try to keep every dog we bring home. We are renters and we move a lot, and he is concerned that we won't find a rental when we move again. I feel … Continue reading Dogs, Church, Park
She’s here!
Our exchange student, L, arrived Tuesday night. She's so sweet. She brought us a beautiful photography book about Spain, among other gifts. It's gorgeous. Yesterday we took her into the city. I hope she had fun! She seems to be bonding well with A. Today we took her up to the high school to get … Continue reading She’s here!
Wonderful Weekend
The girls weekend with L was wonderful! We had a horror movie marathon! We also ate at a couple of good restaurants and went to a carousel. We had hoped to do the pool, but found out that this particular hotel didn't have one. Oh well. We had an amazing time nonetheless! Now I'm back … Continue reading Wonderful Weekend
Public Again
A few days ago, I made my blog private. I've since changed it back. I have this internal battle because, on one hand, I love blogging about my life, but on the other hand, I'm a private person I just felt unsafe and exposed, so I made the page private. But I'm feeling better now. … Continue reading Public Again
Baking, Lisa Frank, Fiction
Next week I plan to bake brownies and cookies. I will be making lasagna for dinner on Monday, crack ranch chicken Tuesday, macaroni and cheese Wednesday, and enchiladas Thursday. Friday will likely be leftovers. Or fish. To save money, I often make large amounts of food, and then we eat the leftovers for days. It's … Continue reading Baking, Lisa Frank, Fiction
