Organized (?) chaos and football

Today I had to take my son to football. Now, not for anything, but I hate football. I don’t understand it, don’t want to understand it, have no desire to understand it. But being a nice wife, I let my husband go play golf and I took Matthew to football. I had [...]

Getting in touch with my inner Martha

Last night, I spent 2 hours at a class, learning to knit. Yes, I know for those of you who know me, that seems strange. But I love it! I started a pretty basic scarf, but it is so relaxing and enjoyable . . . I can’t wait for the next class! I already have [...]

Sports Bra = torture

OK, I have finally decided to come clean. I had to tell this story to hopefully spare someone else from the pain and embarrassment I suffered. All at the hands of an evil device. That device? The sports bra.
Now you ladies know all about these contraptions. They are sized about 4 sizes too small, to [...]

Makes you think

Well, it is a cloudy cold day. I just put Matthew on the bus, it is still sad to see him go. But he loves it (so far).
I got an email yesterday from a friend from college. We still chat sporadically, and when we do it is to fill each other in on our lives, [...]
