Just Getting Started
I have been writing most of my life, in one form or another. Seems to me that I may not be as witty as I believe myself to be when I am scribbling in a journal, or when I am thinking about what it is that I would scribble in my journal, had it been nearby during a particularly annoying moment.......Read More

Day
Last night, I found it very hard to go to sleep. There are so many things on my mind right now. Life should be calm and perfect (HA). I should feel accomplished and accepted, exploring myself and all of the new and wonderful things in my life; a third child, a home that, daily, reflects our......Read More

What To Do Today
As anyone with children can tell you, the breaks from school can seem daunting. Trying to accomplish any task not connected to the children and their lives is nearly impossible. Although rewarding, in the end, their can be many "cabin fever" type moments and inevitably, you get on......Read More

Confused,
How exactly is it that intelligent (or so they think) adults find themselves on web sites like Facebook and MySpace? I ask this because I consider myself to be very intelligent and yet also find myself on Facebook, slowly accumulating friends and dippy applications as the days pass. At......Read More

A Different Day
As the week comes to a close I am trying to stop thinking so much about serious topics. Yesterday's entry did not start out to be a rant, it just ended up being about all of the things that normally make me feel ICKY and I constantly push them down so that I don't offend anyone the way that......Read More

Friday & Some Sanity
Today is a day for getting some work done to feel accomplished and then sitting around goofing off. I'll pick out a new foreign, maybe indy, film or two and sit back with a huge mug of coffee and let the images flood my brain. I would just love to find some friends who have Netflix and......Read More

Moving On
Seems like this week will be all about setting things up at work to start fresh in the Fall Semester, and wrapping up the crazy summer. Kids are home just two more weeks and then we return to a much more sane schedule. Still busy, but much more predictable. My son will be finding out......Read More

Getting This Over With
Today is the day I have decided to blog about one of the other most painful moments in my history. I don't want to revisit, but the part of me that sometimes still exhibits PTSD over these events deserves to have a voice. Even if no one ever reads this. Even if no one ever cares that they read......Read More

Sorry To Have Gone Missing
Seems like I disappeared for a couple of days, there. Well, not much has been happening, I guess. I have been pretty excited about getting my little film group rolling (even though I wish people were as excited as me about it). Maybe I am doing a bad job? I hope not. I like to think of......Read More
