Listen

September 30, 2009

Growing up, I attended private school until the 4th grade. I did well academically, but for some reason the nuns liked to put masking tape over my mouth more often than I care to admit.
Apparently I was a vocal child (some things never change)…and now I find I’m spending a lot of [...]

Exhaustion

After the week I had, I think it makes sense I’d be exhausted. First, we found out our daughter had an irregular (probably not dangerous now that we’re aware of it) reading on her ECG, as well as some test results that were questionable so she has to undergo further testing to ensure all [...]

It was a typical night in the Chumbley household…the children were nestled all snug in their beds, while the hubby and I were watching the premiere of Heroes on DVR. We were both cracking up at some online ‘banter’ with a very dear friend and then…
Hubby: Ouch! Me: What’s wrong? H: My side hurts. [...]

For those that regularly read my blog (I know there must be a few), you’re undoubtedly aware of my OCD, anxiety issues, and general constant paranoia. I’ve shared how I worry too much, and that I occasionally fret about not having anything to worry about. It’s laughable at times, but obviously it isn’t [...]

Confidence

I’ve been pondering over how complicated it was/is to be accepted by our peers. It starts out when we’re small children and it doesn’t seem to get any easier. For some of us, that feeling of never truly fitting in is always with us…it follows us through adolescence and beyond.
My son is turning [...]

As many of you may have read or heard, we celebrated my daughters birthday last weekend. She got to choose some fun things to do and shockingly (not really), a lot of these choices revolved around food. It started Friday night and continued through Monday (since Monday was a holiday and all). [...]

When life hands you lemons…make lemonade (or my fave, lemon bars)! This is a saying most of us have heard, and have had to implement in our lives at one time or another. There are so many things that can happen that will bring disappointment in this world, and if we let it [...]

Treasures

Every time we do it I swear it will never happen again. I’ll rant and rave about how tired I am and how it wasn’t remotely worth the effort, but enough time will pass and then I’ll start to have trouble opening the car door when I pull in the garage. That’s when [...]

Remember

Today is September 11, 2009. I just arrived home from dropping my kids off at school. We were listening to a tribute our local radio station was playing to honor the victims of 9/11/01. All 3 of us cried as we listened to ‘Meet me in the Stairwell’, then I was left [...]

Decisions

Does it feel like you can’t make another decision no matter how important it may be? Do you ever get so tired of figuring things out that your brain turns to mush and you can’t choose something as simple as what to cook for dinner or what shoes to put on? There are [...]
