I’m not talking about yours, I’m talking about mine. It’s 7:39 on a Saturday morning and I’m 30 minutes into day two of mine. Of my 3rd annual, 5th total. And every day I roll my eyes and shake my head at the people who frequent them, and remind myself that I hate garage sales. [...]
Violet is 2 1/2. She loves everyone. Every time she sees a child, she says “Hi friend!”. Everyone is her friend, in her mind. Why can’t we, as adults be that way, too? It breaks my heart every day when she sees the two girls who live behind us outside on their trampoline. She will [...]
To say that I am overextended might be a bit of an understatement. I am working my butt off (not quite literally, I wish) in order to get this vet bill paid off. I’ve been getting a ton more traffic on my blog so I’m committed to keeping up with it, and oh yeah – [...]
Better late than never! One of my favorite holidays of the year, as I’m Irish. Today I worked a little over half a day as I had two patients cancel, so I had time to stop by my favorite cupcake shop and get some of her Irish cupcakes. Then I headed to our favorite eating [...]
The past two and a half weeks are kind of a blur for me, starting with when we brought Fluff in for her surgery. I’m behind on reviews (I’m sorry, I promise I will get at least 3 of them up this week!), and I haven’t had anything much of substance on my blog lately. [...]
Our local Denver adult contemporary radio station hosts a 36 hour telethon for the Children’s Hospital located in Aurora, CO. It is something I have listened to since 2006, and inevitably I spend much of my time in tears. They tell stories with happy endings, and stories with tragic endings. But most importantly, they talk [...]
Sometimes you get really lucky and find a community full of support, friends, help, hugs, and fun. Actually, it’s a pretty rare occurrence to find a place that is just like that without drama. But I did find someplace like that about a year and a half ago. I’ve been part of so many communities [...]
I’m still waiting to hear from our vet about what the total cost of Fluff’s surgery will be. I should hear sometime tomorrow. I’m pretty much dreading it. In the meantime, I’m looking for new and creative ways to save money – so give me everything you’ve got! Here is what we currently do: Coupons [...]
What do you do to take care of yourself? One thing I have found that no matter how stressful your life is, how busy you are, or how little money you have – you NEED to take time for yourself or you’ll go crazy. If it means I have to cut back in other areas [...]
There’s a whole lot going on in our life right now, so if I’m not cranking out posts as frequently as usual, don’t worry too much. Well, you can worry if you want. Or if you’d prefer, you can send some good thoughts our way. I’m busy of course, but moreso because I’m taking on [...]
