- Been struggling with focus issues this past week.
- Been trying to catch up with those things that fell into the abyss during all the illnesses we experienced during February. Where did that month go exactly?
- Been trying to come up with a new name for my blog. I don’t know why. What do you think?
- Been trying to figure out the best way to parent a teenager. Is it legal to lock them in their room until they turn forty?
- Been working on my ‘garden happy place’. It even makes me happy to work on it.
- Been trying to re-structure my office. It’s hard to get it all compatible with the many hats I wear. It has to do quadruple duty as my counseling office, my faculty office, my photography office and my personal/home office. I need a secretary.
- Been reading ‘Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women Over Fifty’ and have decided that I need to write another book. My first book was as a forty-something new mom. Just another thing that needs to be dusted around here.
- Been thinking that I need a chef. I do real well for awhile but I am just a take-out junkie.
- Been watching too much HGTV. It’s much more fun to watch people getting organized. I always like to add the disclaimer….do not try this at home.
Today I am grateful for: a nice big backyard that is able to have many functions.
Today I am going to simplify my life: by cleaning my workspace. Maybe.
Samantha’s Corner:
Samantha: Mom, we need to learn to play nice.
Mom: Okay. What would you suggest?
Samantha: You promise not to yell so much.
Mom: And you?
Samantha: I promise not to disobey so much.

Well, that’s progress anyway. I am having trouble with focus too. All these meds, my brain is mush. Must get off them soon…
Hello Danielle: I’m Jean, one of the women of “Invisible No More: The Secret Lives of Women Over 50.” Google turned up your reference to Invisible No More. Of course, I was thrilled to see that you are reading it. Hope you thought it worthy.
I also was interested in the photos on your blog site. Looks like where I live – except maybe I don’t see flamingos every day. I’m now on beautiful Anna Maria Island in FL.
Anyway, I like your whole site, and may just get your book for my older daughter who had three teenagers and then had a baby at age 44. I’m thinking she lost her mind!
Regards,
Jean
Very cute conversation bet/ you and Miss Sam.
I used to try to think of blog names, and then I gave up.
