Life’s a Butter Dream – Author M.J. Pullen blogs about body image, weight loss (and gain) (and loss again), fitness and struggling to stay healthy as a working mom. When my oldest son, Skywalker, was a toddler, he used to sing “Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily… life’s a butter dream.” And he’s right!
Today was a fantastic day. If you live in or near Atlanta, you know that the weather was absolutely perfect today – sunny and low-60’s. And since Sunday is our family day (the only day neither of us works), we got to enjoy the wonderful weather together. First on our agenda, we went to a […]
I was driving somewhere with my family, I don’t remember where. We were near the intersection of Piedmont and Bells Ferry in Kennesaw. The blue lights in the mirror were a surprise; I checked my speed and verified that I was going 37 in a 35 zone. I wondered if I’d missed a school zone […]
The last couple of weeks around our house have been all about ears and noses. The problem with Monkey’s sleeping I wrote about a couple of weeks ago turned out to be not teething, but a double ear infection. It took me almost six days of his crazy behavior (plus a fever) to figure out […]
Originally this blog was going to be about how our little monkey didn’t sleep Friday night, and what fun it was trying stay awake and present Saturday morning when we had a crowd at our house for brunch. MLM is getting in a back molar, we think, and he was awake and crying from midnight […]
I’m back! A little bit rested and having spent some great time with friends and family. Plus a functional second bathroom, finally! So now I’m looking over my list of New Year’s Resolutions (mine are so fantastic, I reuse them year after year), trying to decide what to commit to for 2011… Lose weight? Eh, […]
I saw on the news this morning that today is the busiest day of the year at the post office; and of course I had an errand there that wouldn’t wait. Needless to say, I was pretty much dreading the idea of waiting in line forever with a VERY active toddler — that’s pretty much […]
ME: Urrgh! You keep complaining about stuff, but you won’t accept any of my solutions! DH: I know, I’m really frustrating that way. It’s a character flaw. ME: Character flaw? Really? Are you sure it’s not just a consistent, annoying choice? DH: Hmmm… [Thinks]. Nope, it’s a character flaw. ME: *Sigh*
And, yes, I had to look up how to spell her name. It is so cold outside today that the birds in our backyard seem to be actually trying to get into the house. All morning I’ve been watching an aerobatic display in out the window — we are fortunate to have a yard that’s […]
… for a trip down Memory Lane (more like Memory I-85) that made me smile and reminded me of a period of real growth in my own life. Reading her blog, I felt like a much better person than I really am most days. It’s nice to have friends with good memories around at your […]
It’s funny how sometimes the weather changes your mood; and other times it seems to simply reflect it. As though the gray skies and dripping leaves are just an extension of what’s going on inside. For me, today is one of those days. I had a wonderful Thanksgiving break – time with family, time in […]
