A different POV

In the last few months I’ve been reading and paying attention to a couple of milbloggers.  They are reporting on the state of all things military including current events in Iraq and Afghanistan.  One of them is Bouhammer.  I have a great deal of respect for him and his call to service.  I am writing [...]

You Capture – Friends

So I was a great big slacker this week.  I only took one picture that could constitute as “friends”.
What do you do when you are feverish to 103 and mommy’s out of Motrin?

Not feeling it, but should be

I’ve kind of been in a rut the last week or so.  I was just twittering with Tiffany tonight about needing some quiet time after a few days of constant interaction with other people.  Take my trip to D.C. last month.  I had SO much fun.  I got to hang out in the company of [...]

Not too shabby

I’ve been maintaining my level of exercise since last week.  I did not, however, get a run in on Saturday before the WTB like I was hoping.  Traveler’s step-great-grandmother passed last week and the girls and I ended up stopping by his grandparent’s house instead.  I figure that as good of a reason as any [...]

What I Learned This Week

So this last week I’ve been trying to think of what I have learned.   (I think it’s really been 2 or 3 since I last participated in Jo-Lynne’s carnival).

I can talk to my kids without my exasperated tone and make more progress than expected.
I love having Traveler home so he can participate in the [...]
