It Is Friday....Isn't It?

some weeks pass in a flash....

and some are so long that Monday seems like months ago

my mind is unusually preoccupied with parenting issues

i am working on "under-reacting"....

not that i'm necessarily over-reacting but a new approach seemed a good idea.

after i wrote this post lots of very wise & kind people offered their opinions.

i've read & re-read them.

my friend Lou suggested this book....

for the first time in my parenting career, i've bought a book about it.

i think it's time. if you need help, hold up your hands & shout loudly.

there is always someone there to help....

my husband is away on his annual boys skiing trip....

so this week-end my children & i are going to be tourists in our own city.

heading out for breakfast, hunting for some delicious treats & exploring some new places.

walking along the river & just enjoying the energy of the city.

the power of positive thinking....

lots of great reductions in the hush sale right now....
