Ruth’s SOLS: Overwhelmed.

Why is it that in the midst of being incredibly overwhelmed, one is unlikely to notice?  In the harried state of balancing too many roles and expectations and necessities and changes, life flies by, barely more than a blur?  And then, when one finally does manage to surface, the feelings of guilt from the things… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Overwhelmed.

The Big Picture: Happy Mail!!!

This is the final post of The Big Picture Series. (Ruth stated hers was the last, but after I received some mail from her today, I decided we needed to have just one more post in this Series.) I returned home from running errands about 30 minutes ago and found a thick, manila envelope in… Continue reading The Big Picture: Happy Mail!!!

SOLS: Mine Forever.

Prior to adult writing time, I read aloud Jamie Lee Curtis' book, Tell Me Again About the Night I was Born.  Then, thinking about SOLSC today, I decided to attempt to write about being given my son.  It didn't work out so well as a narrative, so I switched genres.  Here it is, in a… Continue reading SOLS: Mine Forever.

Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?

Yesterday afternoon, my oldest daughter and I were driving home from school shopping.  Our conversation was one in which I was asking questions regarding important info that she should know -- things like telephone number; address; parents' names -- and she was answering.  Then came this snippet: Me:  What's my job? Hannah:  What do you mean?… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: What’s your mom do?

Stacey’s S.O.L.S.

I spent an inordinate amount of time picking out the exact supplies I needed for my students' Meeting Area Supplies Boxes. I was almost set, but realized I needed contact lens solution. Hence, I parked my wagon by the end-cap of the aisle while I went to pick out the solution. I came back and… Continue reading Stacey’s S.O.L.S.

Stacey’s SOLS: Almost Skunked

Not so long ago, in a land called Connecticut... OR Once upon a time, when we were driving up to my in-law's home... Doesn't that sound tranquil? Well, it should've been, but it sure wasn't. Therefore, let me re-start my slice with some action! We pulled into the driveway with the brights of our car… Continue reading Stacey’s SOLS: Almost Skunked

Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.

Tonight, while Andy cooked dinner and I continued my recovery, we sent the kids upstairs to play. The monitor was on and it was filling the entire downstairs with giggles. They were having so much fun and the continuous giggling was infectious. I found myself feeling better just listening to them. They are so happy.… Continue reading Ruth’s SOLS: Giggles.
