Ever just been in a funk? Yeah, me neither. Ha! I've sort of been in a funk all summer. I think it all started when the crazy hit around here in March and situations we could not control began having a profound impact on our home, our family, and our attitudes. And it's really hot. I mean record-breaking hot. I am a very grumpy hot person. At any rate, somehow all this heat and grumpiness and funk has resulted in very little patience and grace with my girl. She's 12, you know, and ... [Read More]

Help for “The Change”
I'm just going to lay it all out there today. In the past couple of years, I've gone through a major transition ... though it seems I was basically unaware of said transition until quite recently. I suppose I thought the moodiness, inability to sleep, lack of focus, ongoing procrastination, and being hot all the time were just a normal part of my 30s. Duh. Doesn't every woman go through this? Isn't "the change" a part of life for we XX chromosome types? The doctor put me on some pills and ... [Read More]
