TV show looking for families

Hello,
I am currently looking to find a blended family for a television show.  I
was hoping you might be able to help get the word out on your blog, to your
community or to anyone else you know.  We’re REALLY excited about this
project so hopefully you have some ideas about how to track down the right
people?  Here’s [...]

Sophie and daffodils

Day 57

Here’s Sophie at the gate this evening. She was watching me as I was messing with the daffodils, so I snapped a few photos of her. I was pretty far from her, so the camera didn’t pull in much light.

It wouldn’t be my blog without another daffodil photo, right?
I took [...]

photography

When I grow up, I want to take photos that are as moving as the photos shown  in the USAToday Day in Pictures section.  Each day, I’m amazed by the stories told in the chosen photos from around the world.

breakfast

Day 56

Where’s that MOM OF THE YEAR award? I hear that my name is being engraved on it right now!
This morning, I got breakfast for the kids at their favorite place. I haven’t gotten this for them in ages, so I thought today was a good day for clogging their arteries.  There’s nothing [...]

Mardi Gras

It’s day 55 of 2009.  It seemed like so many days had passed when I typed that.  Then I realized that I have 310 more to go.
I’ve enjoyed posting a photo taken each day this year.  I see things differently when I’m looking to preserve special moments or my view of something beautiful.

Today, I took [...]

100 books challenge

Day 54
A crown for tomorrow’s Mardi Gras royalty (the person who gets the piece of King Cake that has the baby in it).
Once again, the photo of the day has nothing to do with the day’s post.  Oh, well.

100 Books Challenge
Apparently the BBC reckons most people will have only read 6 of the 100 books [...]

obsession

Day 53

Clearly, I am obsessed with the daffodils blooming in my front yard.

100 = $1.00

Day 52

When I got home from WW this morning (where I weighed and had lost 3 pounds – bringing my total pounds lost to 11.8), J. checked her blood sugar. It was 100.
So she got a dollar.
We both smiled.

racking up the miles

Day 51

I usually don’t pay attention to how many miles are on the car’s odometer, but I noticed this nice, round number Friday evening and was surprised to see how many miles I have driven that car. I will have had it two years in June.
And, yeah, do you see the temperature it was [...]

mean girls

Day 50
Sophie on my bed
(disclaimer: today’s photo has nothing to do with today’s post)

When I got home from work today, I noticed that J. was sad. One of her friends (I’ll call her friend A) is not happy with another of their friends (friend B) and is saying mean things about friend B. [...]

first daffodil of the season

Day 49

Finally!  The first flower of the year has bloomed!
I’m so thankful that the previous owner of my home planted lovely, cheery daffodils in the front flowerbed.  Each winter I look forward to seeing the bright yellow explode against the bright sunlight, bringing a smile to my face.  Knowing that one had bloomed gave me [...]

breakfast (and dinner) of champions

Day 48

Seriously, this stuff is amazing.  I still am not to 100% yet, but I definitely can tell that this medicine is working it’s magic.  I did not make it back to work today, since I woke up with a fever and still feeling that I’d been run over by a truck.  Throughout the day, [...]

guards, daffodils and roses

So, it turns out that I not only had a sinus infection, but also double ear infections.  WHEE!
I’ve been in bed for the past 3 days, almost non-stop.  Sleeping, coughing, drinking huge amounts of water, sleeping more.  I’m happy to report that I was fever free for most of today, with only a slightly elevated [...]

catching up

I’ve been a bit under the weather for the past couple of days.  Allergies have turned into a sinus infection, I believe.  I’ll find out the true diagnosis tomorrow morning.
The result of this is that I’ve gone to bed each day after work and have come home early one day to sleep.   My children have [...]

commercial

Day 40
“I put some on before I go to bed and when I wake up in the morning, you don’t have acne. That’s a good feeling!”
This commercial cracks me up! How can he put on the mask and when he wakes up, I don’t have acne?
Wait! I know… It’s a miracle [...]
