So many distractions…#sol20

Day 12 ~ March SOLSC This has been a rough Slice of Life Story Challenge for me. For day 12, maybe I should list the things that are distracting me from keeping up with my writing. Report cards - I always have them to do at this time of the year, but for some reason, …

A little visitor – #sol20

Day 8 ~ March SOLSC We decided not to turn on the TV in our bedroom. We were so tired. We just decided to get into bed, turn off the lights, and go to sleep. My hubby was out cold within minutes. I could feel myself dozing off when suddenly, I heard a sound. It …

Missed a few days

I'm back, after missing a few days. I could've just quit, but chose to get back at it. It's just been one of those weeks... First, it was the 14th anniversary of my dad passing away. I don't know why it's called an anniversary or who even started calling death dates, anniversaries. Anniversaries are supposed …

The Last Time…

Day 3 ~ March SOLSC Friday, March 3, 2006 was a typical day. I woke up in the morning, got ready, stopped and grabbed coffee, and off to work I went. When we got home from work, we packed up our clothes to head down to Staten Island for the weekend to visit Brad's friends …

Another reminder…

Father's day ~ A day we're supposed to celebrate all the amazing dads out there.  Well,  that's what it's supposed to be for most people.  But, not me.  Father's day just reminds me that I don't have a dad.  While I do have an amazing husband who is a wonderful father to our daughter, and …

#sol19 ~ “Jen” Day

Something very rare happened today - I had a day off.  All. By. Myself.  And by very rare, I mean like never.  Ever. (Well maybe once).  You see, being that I'm a teacher and a mom, whenever I have a day off, my daughter does too.  Don't get me wrong, I love having the time …

Weekend Coffee Share

Link to Coffee Shares Good morning everyone!  Grab your cup of coffee, sit down, relax, and let's chat.  I'm enjoying my first cup of coffee of the day. If we were having coffee, I'd tell you that last week had at least 3 extra days in it.  It was a long one, but we had …
