Congrats on the 1/2 marathon my friend and thanks for the kind words about my baby and her arm. All is well - she just bruised it really bad and the muscle and tissue are swollen. They gave her a sling and told her to take Tylenol. Big hugs! :o)

Champ

We met you in May of 2004 at the Humane Society. You were the only dog who could have cared less that there were humans walking around.  While all the other dogs barked and barked at us, you lay on the floor curled up and awake, yet quiet and uninterested.  We almost passed you by but after mentioning you to one of the employees they said you were a good boy and that we should take you out for a walk.  Once outside you perked right up and wanted to sniff everything and explore and didn't seem at all like the dog you were inside.  We were hooked. We agreed to take you home and took care of the necessary arrangements.  Your name was Champ because the Humane Society had picked you up on the side of the road, very injured in what they assumed was a fight with another dog.  We were told you were maybe two years old at most.  The Humane Society fixed you up and you healed like a, well, like a champ.  We decided to rename you Baxter. We brought you h...

Except Death and Taxes and School Pick Up Problems

Dear you, Hi there! We haven't met so I thought I would introduce myself.  I am a mom of two, a fifth and a third grader, at the school our kids attend.  You might recognize my car, as you drive by it nearly every day when you pass me (and plenty other parents) 10 minutes before school gets out to park at the very front of the pick up line. In a spot that is not a spot. Genius!  I mean why should you get to school early like many of us other parents do and park appropriately in the pick up lane when you can just come nearly at the last minute, go around a line of 30 vehicles, and park in a spot that is not a spot? Why didn't I think of that? You probably have special circumstances.  I'm sure you think that NOBODY else in the pick up lane,  many of whom have been sitting there waiting for 30-45 minutes have ANYTHING better that they could be doing with their time. I especially loved the day that you were parked there and ran over to grab your child and...

Focus

When I read Yaya’s post about picking a word to live by instead of writing down resolutions I thought about what my word might be.  I am often thinking, not just at New Year’s, about what I want and need to do in my life to continually improve. There is so much I want to do.  So much I want to learn.  But how?  When?  With what time?  So my word this year is “focus”.  Focus on taking care of ME. Focus on taking care of my family. Focus on being a better mom (granted, I’m pretty darn good but there’s always room to improve! ) Focus on getting things done around the house and not always waiting for the mood to strike. Focus on taking better pictures. Focus on learning more about photo editing. Focus. If I were to sit down and make a list of 5-10 MOST important things in my life, blogging and reading blogs would not be on that list.  Would it be on yours? Yet, I spend a lot of my spare time trying to keep my Google reade...
