Random Rantings: All Kinds of Bags
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2014/03/all-kinds-of-bags.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Friday, March 14, 2014. All Kinds of Bags. I went at this with great gusto! Finally a Lenten discipline I can relate to. Plus decluttering to me feels like losing weight. And you have no clue what they are talking about. It's because you snapshotted a different moment. Oh but I digress. So back to the emotional baggage. I think letting go of some things is just as important as decluttering the dining room closet. Of course th...When ...

Random Rantings: May 2013
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2013_05_01_archive.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Tuesday, May 21, 2013. Half the Family's Sick, Half the Family's Dying. Do you think there will be more? Each year we would reach Hanukkah/Christmas with great relief. The season of suffering was over. This year I glibly slid through that season, with just one child's broken foot to show for it. Little did I know what the universe had in store for me in the new year! Just try to say Februarying! Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Random Rantings: August 2010
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2010_08_01_archive.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Tuesday, August 3, 2010. Ah but of course I digress. So we decided on Sandbridge for a number of reasons, not the least of which was a solid amount of time to be near my niece- my brother's daughter. In our fantasy, she would come to visit, my sister in law would take off of work, they'd come spend time with us in a no pressure situation and we could grow closer. This year, I emailed her a week before we came down. I know I shoul...

Random Rantings: November 2011
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Wednesday, November 30, 2011. A la recherche du temps perdu. A Remembrance of Things Past. So last night I made what our family fondly calls Guacamole Chicken which is really "Cumin Dusted Chicken" a la Becca Worple. As I dusted the chicken and smelled the cumin, I was transported back to the kitchen on Thallata. I remember being there with Becca, who asked me a Beccaesque question like "oh that was tablespoons? Why not, I just had a...

Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Wednesday, November 3, 2010. So I'm more than a little sad this morning. But probably not for the reasons that people would think. People know what my core beliefs are, although I rarely talk politics except with people I know agree with me. He's also passed healthcare reform. I do not understand why people are against this. Here's what Anthem told me I get as of January 1:. No preauthorization for emergency services. Especially out-...

Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Friday, March 5, 2010. Snow Happens for a Reason. So back to the head injury. I got off the phone and after my initial roller coaster of feelings, I thought whoa. He hit his head. He had a CT scan. He's going to be in the hospital for at least 5 days? And several more CT scans (huh? Hint hint neurosurgeon=bad head injury. In the mean time, Milo has hip surgery, Mollie breaks her ankle, and Parker gets braces. And one day I'm talking ...

Random Rantings: September 2010
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2010_09_01_archive.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Tuesday, September 7, 2010. Remember when your baby first smiled, first ate cereal, first ate peas, first rolled over, first sat up, first pulled up, first word, first walked? I think I have pictures of every single one of those from every angle (well except no one can remember what Mollie's first word was- don't tell her that though- we're going with Parker- that's my story and I'm sticking to it!

Random Rantings: April 2013
http://tpmom.blogspot.com/2013_04_01_archive.html
Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Sunday, April 7, 2013. The Cliff's Notes Version. I realized in talking to my fellow disciples that while writing these vignettes is great, I need to give an overview, so here it is. I traded back and forth with Kirk as number 5 and number 6 in our class rankings. I think he ended up 5, either way, he ended up as a cardiac surgeon which is a tiny bit more impressive than social worker and EMT. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Random observations and some of the things I wish I'd said at the time. Monday, March 11, 2013. Do you have moments from your life that haunt you? A moment of regret? Something you wish you hadn't done or said and that you cannot take back ever with no amount of forgiveness? During the winter, Amy and I took an art class together at the local community college. I remember melting crayons to make pictures- fire and melted wax- it doesn't get much better than that! I cringe to this day. My mom made som...
