I Know What I Said

February 9, 2015 Crankygiraffe16 Comments

I told myself that I was leaving certain things behind in 2014.  The biggest "thing" I was (trying) to leave behind was everything that happened with K.  I have been moving on without her and I have been surviving more and more each day.  However, that doesn't mean I don't think of her often.  To… Continue reading I Know What I Said

Kid For Sale

October 28, 2014 Crankygiraffe19 Comments

Okay, maybe not... But I am seriously at the end of the rope with A.  His behaviour is becoming intolerable.  I don't even want to admit it, but yesterday I spanked him for the first time ever. Over the past few months he has been acting out more, becoming more aggressive towards his brother, talking… Continue reading Kid For Sale

Thoughts on Meditating

August 5, 2014 Crankygiraffe6 Comments

Yesterday was my 13th day of meditating using the Headspace app on my phone.  Some days I find it easier than others to stay "focused" on the task of meditating.  I would be lying if I said that my mind doesn't wander constantly (and I know that is normal at the beginning).  There have been… Continue reading Thoughts on Meditating

Blogger Friends Got Ideas!

Yesterday, after my Alter Ego, Cranky Giraffe, posted about my son’s crazy little love letter to his newest idol, Lady Gaga, an old old blogging friend tweeted it, with an idea that maybe he could meet her!  I know the likelihood of it being re-tweeted by anyone other than myself is pretty low… But who […]

It’s Been a Long Time…

“It’s been a long time since I came around Been a long time but I’m back in town And this time I’m not leaving without you” ~Stefani Germanotta (Lady Gaga) I know I haven’t been here blogging for quite a long time (almost a year and a half…), but there was something about blogging that […]

The Common Sense Problem

The airplane seat map shows that the emergency exit row seats are considered “less desirable.” It’s a little ironic since they come with extra leg room, even if they don’t recline (really, who needs to recline 2 inches when you have two extra feet of leg room?). I think the real reason they are less […]

Walking Tall

This month I’m traveling around the country to check out fellowship positions. It is exhausting, trying, lonely, and often confusing. Most of all, I miss my kids. I spend a lot of time trying to figure out how fellowship and moving to one of these places would fit into the current, ideal, little life of […]

Happiness, Please

Happiness is neither virtue nor pleasure nor this thing nor that, but simply growth.  We are happy when we are growing. ~John Butler Yeats, 1909 Is there a difference between pleasure and happiness? I had never really thought much about it until today.  My husband sent me an interview by Dr. Robert Lustig, who just […]
