Blah Kitchen and Aha Moment
Over the weekend I had one of those “oh wow” moments. I had been complaining to Mr. Spreadsheets about how much I don’t like our house. And it’s true, I just do not like it. There’s nothing wrong with it, I just don’t like it because I’m obnoxious. But my biggest complaint is that it… Read More Blah Kitchen and Aha Moment
Entering the “Friend Zone”
There’s the other “friend zone”, it’s the actual friend zone. I’d argue that the second friend zone is more complicated than the high school version.

School=Sanity
You know what’s awesome? School. That’s right, I said what all the mean moms are thinking. For those of you with kids still out of school, I’m so sorry, I feel you man. You wouldn’t believe how many wafer cookies I had to eat that last week of summer just to get through the day.

Friends in New Places
Can we take a few minutes and talk about findings friends in a new place? It’s not that I don’t like people, I’m learning to accept that I’m an introvert who needs friends, it’s just that I hate the process of making friends.

Backdoor Blessings
I have to admit that most Sundays I am too busy shushing kids to hear much of what is said in church. So when I heard something on Sunday that not only made sense because I heard the entire thought, but resonated with me because I had time to ponder on it, I was understandably shocked. … Read More Backdoor Blessings
