I think deep deep deep within me there is an athlete. I used to play basketball. I used to play volleyball. I really was on a swim team..like forever ago. I played field hockey for one year too.

The Wild Goose Chase

in Lifestyle on 04/14/10

The day started much like any other in this average house in the suburbs. The crush to get the girls organized and out the door. The frustration that the cream for the coveted coffee had gone sour. The cat pestering the poor dog. Isn’t that supposed to work the other way around? Domestic chores which I so love (insert sarcasm… View Post

The Truth. What I Really Did Today.

The alarm clock goes off and I hit the ground running, errr okay. So I rub my eyes, throw my hair in a pony tail and stumble down stairs hollering at the kids to wake up. Same diff. It’s a mad rush to get the kids dressed, feed them something barely nutritious for breakfast, pack lunches, check backpacks, send them… View Post
