So I’m disappointed and frustrated today. Disappointed and frustrated both in my circumstances and in myself. I wish that there weren’t so many heavy things and decisions added to this Christmas season. I wish my body weren’t in such a state that we have to make some hard calls about our plans. I wish theContinue reading “Disappointed During Christmas”

Re-Gift your PJs and slippers to me!
Okay, admit it, we almost all end up with Christmas gifts we have no intention of ever using. Sometimes we overbuy or buy something and realize it’s the wrong size when it comes in. A lot of times those things happen to be loungewear. Well, never fear! I have a great solution for this unwantedContinue reading “Re-Gift your PJs and slippers to me!”
Holidays are hard
My friends who know me best have learned to understand, and some even appreciate, my scatterbrained, run in all directions at once personality. Watching me throughout a day is much like reading stream-of-consciousness writing. I seem to get a lot done, but it is very much If You Give a Mouse a Cookie style andContinue reading “Holidays are hard”
I AM Pillowcase Order Drive!!!
So, we have a good stash going so far! I am washing things up and plan to take the first load this Wednesday! The staff and I are so excited about the enthusiasm for this project so far. And as one who has never shied away from asking for what she wants, I am goingContinue reading “I AM Pillowcase Order Drive!!!”
I Did NOT Cry Over Spilled Milk!
Once again, our life has not disappointed in providing humor and fodder for a good blog post. Let’s take a little trip back to Wednesday. I had to go to Atlanta (about a two hour drive) for a doctor’s appointment. The bookends were going with me so I had a little packing up to doContinue reading “I Did NOT Cry Over Spilled Milk!”

I have a doctor’s appointment this coming Tuesday and will be delivering my first load of Pajama Packs to the BMT floor. One of my favorite items on the wishlist isContinue reading “Pillowcase Blitz!”
The (very long) Tale of the Biscuits
So, it has been a range of emotions this morning – not from the election or cancer or crazy kid drama like you may expect – but from biscuits. I love to bake. I love to experiment in the kitchen. I mean, I spent an entire year trying to perfect pizza dough that is restaurantContinue reading “The (very long) Tale of the Biscuits”
Exciting News on a Stressful Day!
I don’t care which side of this election you are on – it’s stressful. And I don’t know what your coping mechanisms are but I can vacillate between stress-snacking, stress-cleaning, stress-shopping, stress-running, stress-writing, and stress-project“ing” At this moment I am doing the last two (after doing the previous three earlier). So while I was stress-runningContinue reading “Exciting News on a Stressful Day!”
Election 2020 Thoughts
If you aren’t Southern, you may not understand what being worn “slap out” feels like – I’m sorry, I can’t fix non-Southern for you, but it means really tired. Yesterday it was a crash day for me. I laid down with Gus after lunch and was dead to the world until Marsh called around 4:00Continue reading “Election 2020 Thoughts”
Our First Project! Pajama Packs!
So, one thing about this site is – it’s not all about me 🙂 I aim to use my hard earned wisdom to help others encountering this scary Cancer world for the first (or maybe fifth) time. I want to help make it not so bad for others in the same boat. Sooooooo…… out ofContinue reading “Our First Project! Pajama Packs!”
