My husband knows
I've been doing this blog for a little over six weeks. (I started on the first day of school so it's easy to know.) For the first four weeks I didn't tell my husband. Honestly, he didn't say much either. Even though our house was quite different, and I was a busy little bee . . . nothing. He's a great guy. He loves me. He totally accepts me as I … [Read more...]
Cleaning up the BIG MESSES!
I've known for a week that today was coming. I didn't know how it would happen, but I knew it was just around the corner. The weather has been cooling down, but I try not to fall for it too soon.

Exhausted!
I'm so tired. Today has been non stop. I was totally wrong when I thought that having two in school would make my life less crazy. How is that? Anyway, I'm just now writing this post. But I have to stay accountable. Even on the days when I resent it. Today I:Made bed.Picked up living room and kitchen which somehow had gotten quite … [Read more...]
My Vanity or my Daily Tasks?
I'm feeling pretty cute today. I've never been one to feign modesty, and I am generally pretty honest. Honestly, I look good right now. The average person might not see me and think so, but my hair is fixed with my favorite scarf (it turned up in some random place last week), my legs are very recently shaved, I have on makeup, earrings, and … [Read more...]
