I really have been having a hard time writing this every blog every day. How is that for honesty? It's been four months where I haven't missed a day. But, as I sit here at my desk today, I really want to quit. I also know that these last few weeks have been emotionally exhausting. … Continue reading Process
Ohhhhhh I had big plans for today. And they did not happen. I was over at the farm at 6:30 am finishing setting up for opening day. I was back home after a couple of hours. But then the day got away. Big plans for cleaning and organizing and relaxing. Nope, didn't happen. Things (life) … Continue reading Hard Stuff
As I made a cup of tea this morning, I wondered if I might have a problem. I took a photo so I can share with you. I refer to this corner of my kitchen as Pam's beverage area. I have a coffee pot, a hot water kettle, a soda stream to make carbonated water. … Continue reading Thursday, March 25, 2021
I"m in New Hampshire for a few days by myself. Christian is in Massachusetts with the boys. We have a new old home here in New Hampshire. We found our new old home last fall. It's an in-town New Englander, as they call it, built in 1860. The last few months, we've been having some … Continue reading Friday, March 19, 2021
I am sitting in my car as I write this. I'm parked in the back lot of the shopping plaza where Charlie's driving school is located. He's out on his first on-road driving lesson with an instructor. He's been driving plenty with Christian over the past few months. Christian says he's a good driver but … Continue reading Wednesday, March 17, 2021

And I thought about it for a bit, "Well, maybe I'll write about today when I went … Continue reading Tuesday, March 16, 2021
I love Irish soda bread. I love it in the same way I love scones. I'm not a big on sweets but I do love a slightly dry, not so sweet baked good. No one else in my house likes Irish soda bread. So that means I buy it at the grocery store and I … Continue reading Monday, March 15, 2021
When we grow up in a family, we are groomed for a role. Everyone in the family has a role. We're kids when this happens, so we don't have a choice of what role we're assigned. Nobody is saying, Okay Pam, you are the one who puts yourself last. Now go. It's all unconscious. It's … Continue reading Sunday, March 14, 2021
I really like getting up early. I like the quiet time in the house before anyone else wakes up. But, I'm on the 3am-4am wake up schedule again and I can't shake it. And then I'm in bed at 8pm and the cycle continues. So as I write this I am sleepy. Very sleepy. I … Continue reading Thursday, February 4, 2021
I spent a couple of hours cleaning this morning. I really don't like cleaning. But, who does, right? I will procrastinate every damn time. But, when it's done, I am so happy. I love the feeling of a clean house. Christian went down to the pond first thing with Mike and cleared the snow off … Continue reading Sunday, January 31, 2021
