defining the circles that make me whole
Good goingPosted by Alli on September 10, 2007
I’ve been trying to get my head in a place where I am a bit happier with the state of things. Someone told me this past week I tend to see the problems and the bad things going on in our lives and it really struck a nerve. It is so easy for me to [...]
Freezer meal prepPosted by Alli on September 1, 2007
Last night I talked with my about the freezer meals store that I go to once a month. There is one near here I was trying to talk her into visiting. Damon and I have talked about actually opening one of those franchises in this area, if something were to happen that required us to [...]
Travel to Florida soonPosted by Alli on August 24, 2007
In a few weeks, less than a month really, our family will be flying to Florida to meet someone who isn’t here yet- my new niece. She will be born any day now, and we are looking forward to spending time in the Sunshine State. My sister and her husband live in Florida because my [...]
Conflict and mePosted by Alli on August 16, 2007
Conflict is not something I cherish. I usually smell conflict coming and try to hide or run away. I change the subject, I go to the bathroom, I bury my nose in my laptop… I get really quiet. I know that this behavior is not healthy, and sometimes I have to face the conflict in [...]
Small steps to doPosted by Alli on August 14, 2007
I have entered that time of month where I feel a bit out of whack, not really happy but not truly sad. I find it difficult to get going and do things during this time, so I have to set goals for myself. Yesterday I did pretty well, picking out a few things that I [...]
Voluntary Partial Blog Entry Recall: StagnantPosted by Alli on July 26, 2007
Well, I would like to say that in my previous entry, I griped about lots of stuff. And then later, about an hour later, I went to the bathroom and suddenly life was clear. It is funny to me how every month it is a bit of a surprise. There are some months where I [...]
Not looking aheadPosted by Alli on July 6, 2007
When we are on vacation at the lake, it is really easy to get caught up on the relaxation mood. I got so caught up in it, I had no idea what today was. When I learned it was Friday I was sad. That means that I have to cram in lots of relaxation into [...]
15 minutes to doPosted by Alli on June 11, 2007
Organizing my time has become a momentous task since I started my time as a stay at home mom. I get distracted by simple things (the internet, the tv, my chipped nails) and avoid big things (cleaning, organizing, laundry). I have a Tastefully Simple party tomorrow and I need to get this house presentable, so [...]
Anne and mePosted by Alli on June 9, 2007
One of our local PBS stations is doing their quarterly fundraiser and as a way to get people to watch, they are playing one of my all time favorites- Anne of Green Gables. They are playing all three movies- Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Green Gables the Sequel, and Anne, The Continuing Story. Watching [...]
Paris behind barsPosted by Alli on June 8, 2007
I saw this on Julie’s blog. It was the first thing my husband talked to me about when he got home from work today. He was talking like I knew anything about it, but I didn’t. I was focusing on potty training and laundry, not much on celebrity news. I still get a bit baffled [...]
