Too much
I’m feeling stressed. I want to do it all. I want to take Scotland to this gym that has free entrance all week. I want to visit Mable. I have a dentist appointment- that I don’t want to go to but I have to. I want to sing. I want to finish spray painting my…

The Female Brain- Charity
I just finished reading two books: “The Female Brain” by Louann Brizendine and “Daughters in My Kingdom: The History of the Relief Society.” I didn’t intend to read the two at the same time, but I’m glad I did because they complimented each other beautifully. The first is a biological study of the influences of horomones…

So blessed
My friend Jen Madsen watches Scotland on Wednesdays while I teach. I was so nervous about leaving him and made a special effort to find someone who would love him and provide a good environment for him. Jen has surpassed by hopes. Scotland adores her, and loves his time at their house. She just sent…

11 months
Scotter will be eleven months in two days, and soon after a year. I’ve started to put last years blog onto Adobe InDesign so I can eventually publish it. Reading over last January’s posts has made me reflect over this past year. I wrote on the 26th of January 2011: The last nine months have…

Oh, I love Cleveland
As the talk of moving enters our conversation more and more my love of Cleveland grows brighter. Today I’m sunbathing in my admiration for the Cleveland library system. I just requested about 10 books on audiobook. They will arrive in the next week or so. I will then walk over to our library- five minutes…

Envy
I know I’m not supposed to be envious. But I’m very envious of this: (Not in the sense that I don’t want them to have it, but rather that I want to have it too.) This hallway of frames comes from my blog obsession: Younghouselove. I’m totally in love with this idea. And every couples…
