My Adventurous Life



I have been staring at a blank page, trying to figure out what to write for quite a bit of time…writers block, is kind of new to me…my brain is always overflowing with thoughts I want to put on paper, but lately I have found something that I love to do, and that helps me unwind, very hard.

And I don’t like it!

I like being able to write out my plans, sit with my laptop and escape in my writing…and now it seems as if my writing is something my mind is trying to run from, instead of running towards.

I could blame it on everything around me, no inspiration, nothing “write worthy has happened” but that would be wrong.

While I don’t live a James Bond (would that be Jane Bond?) exciting type of life, I still have one. 

And as much as I try to make it slow down, it keeps marching on.

I have a wonderful mountain that I climb every morning, sometimes slipping to the bottom, and having to start all over again on the SLOW and steady walk to reach the top and claim victory over it…OK, OK… it’s actually a mountain of laundry…but the goal to get over it is the same. It’s a never ending battle…Just when I think I have reached the top, more laundry is found and thrown on top and I have to start at the bottom again.

I also do a daily battle with a small dragon, who likes to pee in my kitchen, wreak havoc on my daughter’s toys, and stink up all my clean laundry, by laying on my freshly folded mountain of cloths. Our Toy Yorkie, is more like a dragon then a dog…battling a dragon sounds so much more exciting then picking up after a dog!

I am also a chef, who makes fabulous meals that consist of grilled cheese and chips for a quick lunch, before we risk life and limb fighting our way past the long lines and gates and into our local water park!

Sometimes I even take on an apprentice and teach her to clean (free labor) and how to cook and bake from scratch.

 While anyone’s life can seem exciting if you put the right twist on it, I am reminded that while it may not be as exciting as fighting a dragon, or climbing a mountain, my life is pretty exciting as it is.

Olivia made her daddy a homemade cake!
I have a great family that I LOVE spending time with. I have friends that are here for me anytime I call, and they know that whenever they need me I am here as well. I have an AWESOME God that goes before me in every situation, and who has never forsaken me.

My life is how I look at it, and while laundry, dog duty, and making quick lunches, may not seem exciting to anyone (lol me included), and choosing to look at it with a smile on my face and a happy heart will make it easier. My life revolves around my family and doing things for them, makes my heart smile. 

SO while I may not have much to write about today, I do have a mountain of laundry waiting for me, and it’s almost lunch time, so I will close the computer, and get back to my wonderful life!

Having to say Goodbye

Saying good bye to someone is never easy, especially if you know that it may be the Last time you may ever see them, hug them, whisper that you Love them. You want to hold on to them forever and never let go......and then you have to leave...with that doubt in your mind, the whispered lies floating through your mind, taking root, that you were not there enough, that you didn't hug, kiss, or say you loved them enough. It's enough to crush you...enough to make you want to hide away from everyone.....even yourself. This is where we are...my Beautiful Mom is on hospice..and I am trying to wrap my head around that word.. Hospice......such a scary word....its  the knowledge that the end is near, but never knowing when that final day will come.  The past few months we have been making every opportunity to be with her, we knew this was coming, and we were going to make as many memories with her as we could, but there will always be more memories we want to share with her. ...

Bread Baking Adventure

Lets talk about bread...... I have a love/hate relationship with the stuff. I LOVE the taste of it, but I HATE what it does to me. Lately I have been on a search for healthier foods for me and my family, and since my daughter has a milk allergy, I have focusing most of my searches around what she needs the most ( or in this case what she cant have- milk based products) I have come up with a few great milk-less recipes that we love, like this Milk-less Pancake Recipe  and this awesome milk-less Muffin base that we use all the time. I love mixing up the add-in ingredients to make different muffins that my daughter can enjoy. In an attempt to know what we are putting in to our bodies, I have started making most of our snacks/meals from scratch...and while it takes a little more time and effort, I think it is worth it in the long run. I LOVE to bake, but I am not that great of a bread maker...I don't even own a bread machine! I can make pumpkin bread and sweet breads.......

Becoming Intentional

It seems like forever since I have blogged....its actually only been a few days, but it feels longer...I have been waiting for something to write....something funny....something wonderful.....something inspiring...... However, I have nothing like that to write about.....my writing will be changed forever and as much as I hate that and the reason behind it, I cannot change it. Maybe in the future the tone of my writing will change, but for now I will write whats on my heart...it may not be for anyone but for me...and that is o.k. Today was the 1st day of school for this semester for my daughter Olivia. With us living between 2 homes during Mom's Hospice, I felt like we needed to focus all of our attention on spending as much time with mom as possible. So we put getting back to school on the back burner till we got home. It was the best decision for us, and I will never regret it. The extra hugs and snuggles, and TIME, Olivia was able to spend with her "Gugu" in her la...
