Exhausted

July 9, 2015July 19, 2015 Crankygiraffe10 Comments

I've been back at work for a week now, and I'm exhausted.  I'm also feeling my long-gone grumpiness creeping  back to get me.  I'm sure it's all a combination of just coming back from vacation, having been on some pretty slack rotations before that, not getting enough sleep, and working 11+ hour days every day.… Continue reading Exhausted

Not My Mother’s Day

May 10, 2015May 10, 2015 Crankygiraffe4 Comments

  I was supposed to be sleeping after my late night shift... The boys were planning to make me the classic 5&3 year old breakfast in bed.  The sun is shining and I was looking forward to a day in the sun, just me and my boys.  Instead, I woke up with intolerable flank pain 3… Continue reading Not My Mother’s Day

Distraction

February 27, 2015 Crankygiraffe2 Comments

This week I have been feeling somewhat distracted.  I haven't been able to blog much because I just don't know what I want to say or how I want to say it.  I'm not sure what is causing this distraction - being home more, feeling tired, spending more time occupying my kids, playdates, I don't… Continue reading Distraction

7:00 - "Mommy, I'm awake!" (E.) 7:10 - "Mommy, I'm cleaning the shower" (In the shower, with his owl, a hand towel, and a spray bottle) Spray. Spray. Spray. Spray... outside of the shower... 7:20 - "Now I'm cleaning the carpet, Mommy." Okay.  I'm out of bed. 7:25 - Back in bed... with child... watching… Continue reading Happy Friday

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?
