The Ghosts and Goodies Halloween theme has been going on all month and it is such fun.

My Anxiety Needed a Paint Shirt
Maybe you share this memory. At the beginning of my first 4 years of school, my dad would send me to school with an old shirt of his. It was usually an old dress shirt, but I want to say that one year it was an old T-shirt. This shirt became my "paint shirt" for … Continue reading My Anxiety Needed a Paint Shirt
Monday Mish Mash
I suppose I could take each one of the following items and make them into a separate blog, but I decided to put them all in one. Short blurbs, of course. Daily Dad One of the hardest jobs I have ever been handed is that of being "dad." I cannot remember who suggested this book, … Continue reading Monday Mish Mash
Today, I’m a Worry Wart
I have posted this quote before, but it fits today (and hopefully will help). My grandfather once told me, "Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do, but it doesn't get you anywhere!" Despite the truth of that, I find my mind all over the place. As you are aware, my … Continue reading Today, I’m a Worry Wart

They had mentioned a while back that they may want to … Continue reading Sooner Than We Thought

As you know, they are working on our street. They are ripping up the water and sewer lines and working on a new water main before resurfacing the whole road.

They had two of their diggers … Continue reading Random (and cool) Act of Kindness
Jotting Down Some Randomness
The past week has been one of change and challenges for me. I am usually not lacking things I want to write about, but the past few days have been ... well, busy. I've jotted little random thoughts in my "possible blog" notebook but none of them really warrants a full blown blog. So I … Continue reading Jotting Down Some Randomness
