A Good Day

A Good Day

Have you ever had one of those days that just breathed life into you? I'll be honest, most of my days are "meh" at best. Just going through all the motions. Got to do this, need to be …
Forty for Forty

Forty for Forty

I turned 40 in December. Turning 40 wasn't as hard as it was to turn 30. I guess I've just come to a sort of terms with who I am and my age. I don't dwell on it to often because that'…
Changing Seasons

Changing Seasons

Oh Look! It's June!

So much has happened since the last time I posted, but you know what... it's too much to even worry about. What I'm focusing on is Rowan's Summer Bucket List. School went a little longer …
Here We Are

Here We Are

One day you wake up a 39 year old. You look around and you see a sort of outside view of your life. You step outside of yourself for a moment or a day or a week. Because surely this is not YOUR life.…
Feel A Change Comin' On

Feel A Change Comin' On

You may have noticed a slight name change here. I feel like it needed to happen. I'm not even going to attempt to change the actual web address though. Mainly because I'm not that tech savvy…
When the Universe Speaks

When the Universe Speaks

Sometimes you find the Universe speaking to you. Yesterday I did not hear it at first. All I could hear was anger and, honestly, a bit of embarrassment as well. Here we are, just before Christmas. I…
Flawed

Flawed

Our bodies betray us. Our minds stay young, but the rest of us continues on the aging roller coaster not even considering slowing down. You don't even realize it until one day there you are look…

Sunday Lately | July 2nd

When this post publishes, I will be on my way to soaking up the sun in south Florida! Here is what I have been doing this week before leaving.
Caterpillars Have Scratchy Feet

Caterpillars Have Scratchy Feet

On Tuesday, Rowan had her first ever allergist appointment. The appointment was made months ago by her regular doctor because apparently it takes months to get your first visit. She was pretty nervo…

Summatime and the Livin' is Easy

Summatime and the Livin' is Easy

So in my last update, which was an absurdly long time ago, I talked about how excited I was to have finally gone back to work after about 12 years of being a homemaker. I very much enjoyed my time b…

Here we are. It's the end of December. The end of 2016.
Bless It

Bless It

When you are from the South, you will use the phrase "bless your heart" more times than you realize. Occasionally, we say this and actually mean that we understand, we feel your pain, and/o…

My brother, Jim, came to pick up our mom this weekend. She is going down to stay with him in Florida for a few weeks. A much needed vacation for her. Plus she'll get to spend time with that side …

Twenty Four Miles an Hour

I took my son driving yesterday evening. Actually he came in the living room with the car keys and said, "Who's going with me driving?" A video posted by Christine Bewley ✌ (@christinebew…
My Gallbladder Surgery - Part Three - A Diary

My Gallbladder Surgery - Part Three - A Diary

Now that it's been a week since my surgery I can reflect back with more clarity. Because hydrocodone is pleasant when taken every four hours as prescribed. When I first got home, I tried to lay do…
My Gallbladder Surgery - Part Two

My Gallbladder Surgery - Part Two

So that anesthesiologist knocked my ass out without even so much as a warning.  And thank whatever god you please for that because I DID NOT want to see the operating room. When I woke up, the first t…
My Gallbladder Surgery - Part One

My Gallbladder Surgery - Part One

I was not nervous on the day of surgery.  Every other day leading up to surgery day was a different story.  I tried to think of every reason why I should not have my gallbladder removed.  To be hones…
Adventures on a Thursday

Adventures on a Thursday

Thursday began normal enough. A 3am wake up from the 3.5 year old proclaiming her need to pee.  As I shuffle into the bathroom without glasses in the dark, she then asks in the sweetest voice, "…
