One of my favorites is the commencement speech David Foster Wallace [...]

Thankful Thursday or Cranky Thursday

May 9, 2013 7 Comments

I’m not going to lie and say it was easy to write Thankful Thursday this week. For no good reason, except that I’m cranky and I don’t particularly feel like writing down the good things in my life. Some days I would rather sit by myself and wallow in my crankiness. Aren’t we allowed time [...]

It’s been quiet around here because I have no words for what happened on Monday afternoon in Boston.  Nothing I can say is even worthy. Despite the horrific events this week, there are still things to be thankful for. I’m thankful that there are heroes in the world who run TOWARDS a bomb to help [...]

Here is my list for this week: Girlfriends that are always up for a Rhody Mamas play date at Biomes Marine Biology [...]

Every single week it feels like the week has *just* started when Thursday rolls around. I force myself to sit down on Wednesday night, or Thursday morning before rushing Jackson to preschool playgroup, and write down what I’m thankful for. No matter what has happened during the past 7 days, it always brings a smile [...]

This week started out rough. It’s been one of those weeks where I feel like getting in pajamas, pulling down the shades and getting in bed for the entire day. I used to be able to do that years ago, but now I have 3 people that depend on me. I throw myself out of [...]
