Thanks for BlogTrotting over to Big Sky Country and Bozeman, Montana! We have a lot to see. e today, so let’s get started early. Let’s start the day with a cup of Yellowstone Coffee while we watch the sun rise over the Bridger Mountains. Every August, hardy runners compete in the 20+ mile run… Continue reading The Last Best Place. Really.
Today's mail - a letter from a funeral home. In the bottom, left-hand corner in bold-faced type: Invitation Enclosed. Sorry, but that's one invitation I'd rather decline at the moment. Stop by tomorrow for a special surprise . . .
There are moments in parenting that lead us to partake of Mommy Juice Boxes. This was one of them. Did an enormous bird smash into my windshield? Was this the work of a gigantic boulder that fell from the sky? Hardly. This was the handiwork of Younger Boy who was fighting with Older Boy. But… Continue reading Talk About A Pain In The Glass
Today I'm joining the fun over at Mama Kat's with her writing prompts. I couldn't resist the Craft Time prompt, since it's what I'd like to do more of but for some reason (read: my kids suck the life force out of me) I don't. But, as Julie Andrews sings, these are a few of… Continue reading And Now For Something Completely Different
See two boys fight. Fight, boys, fight. They are Mommy’s boys. Mommy is having a bad day. But Mommy’s day is about to get better. Looky what Mommy found. Mommy found special four-pack Juice Boxes at Target. They are just for Mommies. Mommy loves Target. The juice is red and white. Mommy likes red. Mommy… Continue reading Mommy Needs A Drink

Besides there was nothing else to do, it was 2:47 a.m. The first thing I find on the internet is “some peri-menopausal changes can result in sleep… Continue reading Eyes Wide Open
When you turn on the tap, you expect to get this: Am I right? But what would happen if it didn’t always look quite like this. Might not take water for granted again, would you? So today I remember my time spent living on a volcanic rock in the middle of the Pacific Ocean over twenty… Continue reading It’s All About Hydration
The Husband is 51 today. Fifty-one. And that begs the question how did this happen? I have absolutely no idea. After the great ski incident of 1987, we ended up married 6 months later. Not long after that, we took off on our extended honeymoon in the middle of the South Pacific as Peace Corps Volunteers. We ARE what… Continue reading How’d I Wake Up Married To An Old Dude?
Never let a man you barely know follow your ambulance to the emergency room because you just might end up married to him.I never imagined that because of a ski trip over Christmas break with the middle school teachers – I would wind up hitched. Or on crutches for that matter. But that’s exactly what… Continue reading What’s Love Got To Do With It?
In an effort to continue my gratitude adjustment, I would be completely remiss if I didn't acknowledge the awesome bling I acquired on Valentine's Day 2008. Besides the birth of my children and being married to The Husband for twenty-someoddyears, this ranks as one of the best things that ever happened to me. My shiny high-carbide cobalt chrome, Valentine's Day resurfaced… Continue reading Thankful Thursday – The Happy Hippy Edition
