Two Days With No WiFi
Last week, I joined a Facebook group started by a friend from my years of youth tennis. Her group’s purpose is to provide a place of encouragement, motivation, and accountability as each member commits to doing some form of exercise over 60 days. Knowing that I usually have the evenings as my exercise time, and […]
Watching and Waiting
Like many in our nation, I have the Weather Channel on, watching the effects and path of Hurricane Isaac. A few minutes ago, I actually had to use Google Maps to find out if my uncle was a part of the newest mandatory evacuation in Belle Chasse due to waters topping the levees and then […]
Hurricane Day
All my adult life, I’ve had what I call occasional “dizzy spells”. One moment, all will be fine, and the next moment, it’s like some giant hand took the ground below me and tilted it quickly one way and then the other, leaving me with a spinning, unsettled sensation in my head. Sometimes the feeling […]
Thought-Provoking Blog Award
A fellow blogger whom I recently started following nominated me, among others, to receive “The Thought-Provoking Blog Award”, which I think is a lovely and clever way to help other readers discover new blogs, in addition to being an earnest compliment. I love the photographs she posts of the nature she sees, the hope […]
Running?
Some of these posts were intended to be about actually running, and I have fallen pretty short in that regard. The obvious reason is, that I have not gone running since I don’t remember when! Many true runners would argue that I can’t call myself a runner at this time, but I think that is […]
Panic Clean
I am a “panic cleaner”. Sure, I keep the kitchen neat, fix the bed in the morning, do laundry, and pass the Swiffer and vacuum as needed. Unfortunately, I seem to require company to really get things spiffy. I am also a pile maker: little piles of clean clothes stacked on the stairs to go up […]
Victory Time
I should preface what follows by saying that I have always wanted to be a mom, and a stay-at-home mom at that. I love being with my two children and am thankful for my son’s summer break from school, allowing us more time together during the day. That being said, I also have to say […]
Stop Waiting and Keep Going
I haven’t written anything specifically about being a doctor’s wife not because I have nothing to say but because there is so much. My husband and I started dating even before he was certain he was going into medicine–almost 13 years ago to the day. To say there have been rich life experiences, periods of […]
The Little White Bag
I finally booked the flight/hotel/rental car for our family trip up north for a relative’s wedding a month from today. Some family members made their arrangements for travel several months ago. To my prone-to-procrastinating mind, this was befuddling. What if Vien couldn’t get those days off? What if something else came up that would change our […]
Not Making the Cut
Writing about Anna’s potty training goal and thinking about setting and achieving goals in general, made me begin to think about times in my life when I have failed to reach my goal. Much of our wisdom and strength comes from how we handle our failures. Do we get lost in the disappointment, or do we […]
