• It’s Monday: a new week, a new year

  

  I woke up this morning with three extra pounds of holiday cheer. My hot husband calls his the Christmas wreath. I’d made it to Hawaii and back with nary a gain. We’d run almost every day and the indulgences, while many, came in controllable doses.  Christmas, New Year’s, and New York gave their pound of flesh. …

• I Have a Life That’s Good

  Sometimes I’m hard on me, when dreams don’t come easy I wanna look back and say I did all that I could. At the end of the day, Lord I pray I have a life that’s good. Two arms around me Heaven to ground me and a family that always calls me home. Four wheels…

  I can’t be surrounded by your negativity while I’m trying to grow into a fully formed woman. – Shoshanna, Girls Last night I was laying on the floor in a pool of sweat. We’d just finished a 2000m row and 100 burpees in a 95 degree cement box. In that 20 minute span of hell…

• Stepmother Issues? What Issues?

  He’s here! He’s here! Child has again returned! Although we are only on day four of the Great Summer Adventure of 2014, this one already feels ‘different’. Unlike prior years, Jason and I planned less and stressed less before Child arrived. And upon arrival? Child just slid on into our lifestyle with nary a squabble…

• ORF-ORD-SFO-ORD-EWR-ORF

  I’m jumping the gun by posting this morning, as this trip is not technically over. But I figure I can’t possibly screw the travel god any more than she’s already deemed necessary, so here goes. I ‘should’ have woken up this morning in my own bed, next to my hot husband, and my neurotic four-legged…

  Reprieve over people! My ass is and was back on a plane! The first of many 2014 Sarah trips took off this past week.

• The Size of Things

  Do you ever have days where you just feel eight sizes larger than you really are? The mornings you wake up and think, “AH, I shouldn’t have eaten dinner!” The evenings when you can’t get dressed because none of your clothes fit correctly? I’m having one of those mornings, days, evenings, weeks. Size matters. Size…
