Goals...to nap as peacefully as my cat.

You left me overnight with those other humans again...they aren't terrible servants, but it's not the same. I'm going to sit in this spot and watch you all night.

When your toddler is too quiet when you are showering. "The new yarn wasn't for me?"

With extra bellies to feed this week, I made 4 venison pot pies out of a roast. Made meatball sandwiches, then used the leftover balls in a spaghetti casserole. I roasted a chicken in the crockto make tacos. I baked sweet rolls and today it was pop tarts. Can only do so much and still go to work.

I am not athletic. I'm over 50. Today, I climbed to the top of the Buffalo Peak on Antelope Island, sweating, and telling myself, "I can do this." If I could do that, I can keep fighting for my rights to vote, to collectively bargain, and to be heard. I know I am not alone.

Terrific waiting-for-my-flight read! I laughed out loud and was given off looks by complete strangers.

The Utah landscape is beautiful. The people here are wonderful. I've talked for three days straight to gather signatures for the HB 267 referendum. The working people deserve better than their current legislation. #workersunite

A quiet moment of beauty in a world that seems to only scream in pain.

Senator Chris Murphy took to the Senate floor on Friday to break down the corruption flowing from the WH. He connects the dots, and makes a clear argument regarding who what where and why Shitler and Muskrat are destroying our govt!! This needs to be shared far and wide!!

I'm going to float and drink in paradise for a few more days before returning to winter and the daily chilling reality that is the news at home. Recharging is necessary for the grind ahead.

Taking the path to my dad's this morning to deliver maple syrup for his pancakes and fill his bird feeder, I could easily pretend I was walking in Narnia to Mr. Tumnus' house. The story is just as magical to me at 53 as it was at 8.

Enjoying a last family Christmas present with my husband and sons. While I miss their excitement when they would open trains and other toys, I cherish the time spent with our adult sons.

The blessing of early morning chores is catching the sunrise.

I'll be sleeping sitting up tonight. Every time I try to take my hand back, Yoda squeezes tighter. As I rub his ear, I feel his tail wagging by my elbow. A crick in my neck is worth his dream filled bliss.

Cookie baking is more fun with little ones. Blessed with nephews until the days I have grandkids.

When you're four and you love Christmas SO much, you have to hug your aunt's tree.

Should I survive today's craziness, work and bad roads, my only goal tomorrow is to make my son snickerdoodles. He asks for so little and that was his request for Christmas cookies.

Nothing brightens the day faster than a 4 yr old nephew calling to say, "Good morning!" as grampa drives him to preschool. Suddenly the day feels joyful from the chirping of a baby bird.

Mom came home from a trip with a cold. She's resting on the couch so she doesn't keep Dad up with her coughing. I'm a GOOD nurse. If she falls asleep, I boop her nose to make sure she's alive. I occasionally bite a toe or take her chapstick. I spilled her water twice & shredded her Kleenex.

I wish I was the delicate lady-type when sick with a head cold. Instead, I stumble into the bathroom to discover I resemble the Heat Miser...my hair stands on end and the bags underneath my eyes are carrying their own purses. Even the cat is avoiding me; is Vick's to a cat like garlic to a vampire?

Trust and faith...riding with my son on the interstate & NOT using my passenger side "fake brake" because I don't want to be my mother even with rightful rider's anxiety. I close my eyes and pray the cold medicine keeps my ears from popping as we climb into the mountains. #makingmemoriesnotregrets
