I’ve been sad. Anxious. Worried. Stressed. Depressed. So. Here’s a list of things I can look forward to:

We’re going to the fair tomorrow!
I get to take Merissa’s maternity photos and Chelsea’s senior pics saturday!
I have just over one month to wait until I have a new baby niece!

Today I’m 29. Again. Yeah, that’s like the fourth time. But whatever.
Dad has some tests done today that are expected to give us some answers as to why he’s been so sick. No results yet.

I changed up my blog theme today, not that I didn’t have anything better to do - specifically something that pays… but anyways, I think it looks better. I’m feeling a little more at home here now. It’s still not quite right. It’ll get there. I hope you like it better. I just couldn’t hang […]

I saw a report on CNN about unusual names and decided to respond with my story. In case you were curious about the origin of my name and how having an unusual name has affected me I have copied and pasted my response here.
“My name is Phaedra. Pronounced Fay-druh. My closest friends often call me […]

It’s friday!!
It’s been a challenging week for me. There’s been the whole getting back into a work routine thing. The mom living with me thing. The dad being scary sick thing. The four-year-old being mildly sick thing. The having too many animals in the house and sniffling constantly thing. The 11-year-old being gone thing. And […]

How much better could it get? A lake to swim in, some swings to swing in, a playground, shade, bbq’s and good friends.
