Today is going to be a afternoon of no exercise as well as no drumming or singing so that I can rest this fatigued body a bit. The past week I have either played beach volleyball, or drums as well as singing in the band, for a total of five mornings out of seven. So
When I found out that I was going to be a parent I admit that I was terrified. I never expected to have kids in my lifetime and this was a bit of a shocking piece of information to receive. Don’t get me wrong, I don’t have any problem with children… But I never anticipated
When my husband and I got together I was extremely attracted to him for one particularly large fact. He is a very handy person and he ambitiously takes on many projects to fill his time. He’s not the sort of guy who just sits around and watches TV or stares at his cell phone when
Recently my boo recommended that we both take an important quiz online so that we can better understand each other for the remainder of our relationship. It’s no mystery that being in a couple can be rather difficult for anybody. It’s even harder when you don’t understand how the other person works yet. You really
If it’s not a massive air Temperature control disaster that I’m looking at, he might even recommend one of his former students to perform the air conditioning or furnace repair for me It really pays to know the right people. I think everybody has come to this realization at some point in their life when
When my husband and I moved into this house we realized that it was going to be a bit of a fixer upper. It was obvious that we had some work to do before we had the property of our dreams. However, we were ready for the challenge because we are extremely ambitious and handy
I have to admit, I am the type of person who puts a lot of care and attention into my inanimate objects. In particular, I am a bit too obsessed with my indoor plants and garden. I know that a lot of people have proudly proclaimed that they are planned moms these days… But I
Living in the city presents several unique challenges. Everyone knows that the traffic is absolutely terrible here, and you are doomed to experience frustrating traffic jams and commutes on a daily basis. The outdoor air quality is also something to consider. For most of the year it is ridiculously hot and humid outside, and we
I knew that the old air conditioner didn’t do an amazing job with energy efficiency, temperature control, or air quality management A few months ago I started having something strange happening. My entire face would swell up without reason to the extent that I could barely open my eyes. It looks like I had just
A few weeks ago I was having a terrible time trying to sleep. Every night I would wake up desperately clawing and scratching at my face and neck. They were ridiculously itchy and irritated, despite having the same body lotion and detergent as always. I couldn’t figure out what was going on with my itchy
Everyone always says that your children’s first five years we’ll go by incredibly fast. The next thing you know, they will be full-blown teenagers who hate you. You’ll spend the next ten years dealing with unfathomable emotional responses and hormonal outbursts. I have to say, I truly didn’t believe that this was going to be
When I was graduating from college I felt like I had made a big mistake. I wasn’t excited about my degree or the career fields that it supposedly empowered me to enter. I started second-guessing my educational choices before I had even flipped my tassel. Within a few months, I was back in school. This
Sometimes I look at my children and wonder where on Earth they came from. They have strange interests that I can’t relate to, they have opinions that don’t align with anyone else in the family, and honestly they can be rather dense. I consider myself to be a fairly logical and intelligent human, so it
