When Eldest was little, they once famously said, “You’ve killed all the happiness inside me.” It has been that kind of day.

After nearly 3 hours trying to figure out why my phone won't allow me to make calls, the IT guy on the other side of this chat gave up telling me it was a device issue (it's not) and sent this. Do I believe him, dear listener? No. This is really a great message for the past 10 years...

When it’s rainy and gray, I’m most appreciative of the sunshine: i.e. family, friends, good food, great games, laughs, bubbles & cartoons. What’s your sunshine?

Taking a leisurely 2-hour drive out of my workday to bring my son to school when his transportation fails to show up. This is parenthood.

Drove past a bench on someone’s front lawn. It said Peace Bench, and invited anyone to sit down, take a moment, and say a prayer for the world. I’m still thinking about it.

The funny thing about being in a phase is that you don’t know you’re in a phase until you’re out of it.

Stack of chairs hanging out the trunk of the car stubbornly held together by a spare piece of rope as I drive 40 minutes on the highway. I am my father‘s daughter.

Someone's evidently been having a good time with my credit card this morning. Glad the algorithm caught it and I won't be charged for the gambling, sports gear, and flight to Houston.
