My Husband Is Home!

Last night, my husband came home around 1 am. We have mostly been having a slow day at home for him to rest. Currently, I've got his favorite chicken dish cooking in the crock pot. This week I plan to make chicken enchiladas. I hope it goes well. I've gathered up and organized my scrapbooking … Continue reading My Husband Is Home!

A Little Organization/Update

My husband left for a conference in Europe yesterday morning. My father in law is kindly staying with my daughter and I. We went out to the art store, and I bought this rolling cart. My FIL assembled it for me. Tools and building things just aren't in my feminine repertoire. The purpose is to … Continue reading A Little Organization/Update

I Don’t Want a Career. I’m a Woman.

What alternative career paths have you considered or are interested in? I have zero interest in entering the workforce at any time now or in the future. I want to mop my floors. Washing my husband's clothes feels good. Give me some dish soap and a full sink and I'm happy. I want to bake … Continue reading I Don’t Want a Career. I’m a Woman.

She said something too that really stuck with me. I told … Continue reading Interview

11 Years

Yesterday was my husband and I's eleven year wedding anniversary. We didn't have a babysitter booked, so we took our daughter out to lunch with us and then to go get ice cream.

Busy at Home

How anyone gets bored at home is beyond me. This morning I am running laundry, picking up, and journaling with chalk pastels. Just basic abstract images, but it's therapeutic. I had to get up at 430 for ECT this morning, and they put me under anesthesia, but for some reason, when I got home, I … Continue reading Busy at Home
