About Me

My photo
Hi! I'm Amy. I'm a S.A.H.M. of 2 boys, 3 dogs, and a multitude of froglets in my tiny garden pond. We are a homeschooling family (the boys - there's not much hope for those dogs and the frogs do quite well for themselves). I'll getting around to finding a purpose for my blog eventually. Right now it's just a random collection of thoughts and rants about parenting, mostly.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. Lao Tzu



Breakfast today. Dave's Boomin' Berry Bagels slathered with butter and sprinkled liberally with cinnamon sugar, then toasted 'til the sugar caramelizes. Plus a mocha, because it's Saturday and I woke up with a headache. I just didn't think my Green Dragon Oolong would get it done today.

No, I don't think I'll be blogging my breakfast on a daily basis. I hope I come up with something better to blog about than that! But as I was scrolling through the archives of this pitiful, barely-there-blog, I realized that my posts are sorely lacking photos, and blogging is all about the photos these days.

So have some food porn in the meantime (seriously, a cinnamon-sugared and toasted Dave's Bagel is like a cinnamon-roll shortcut, they're that good). While you're scrambling to find something as tasty, I'm using the rest of this post to do my daily 5 minutes of freewriting.

Who or what causes changes in my life?

The entropy fairies I live with, of course. Though I will say, sometimes it seems like my life doesn't really change much, and I think that may be one of the problems I will run into in trying to blog. I've become a hermit over the last 20 years. I like my little sanctuary out in the middle of nowhere. I detest driving (partially because of a lack of peripheral vision in my left eye and too many intersections that are constructed at angles where I can't see cars to my left unless I literally turn my head about 90 degrees.

By entropy fairies I mean my children, and my husband, and my dogs. But I don't really think they change my life in the way that this prompt is supposed to mean. I'm not really sure I could name someone that causes me to change the way I think or behave. I couldn't even say if that is a good thing, or a bad thing. I guess it means I'm pretty set in my ways. Though I do spend a lot of my time reacting to the people in my life, if that makes sense. I know I should be more proactive, but I tend to be reactive instead, reacting to the mess in the kitchen or the bill for the toilet that we had to replace two months ago or the fact that my husband wants to bring home yet another car.

No, really.

We already had 4 automobiles. That doesn't include the herd of motorcycles that lives out past his mancave/shop. I'm glad he and the boys have a hobby...I just wish it was a little neater and a little less expensive.

Time's up. Today's five minutes of freewriting was brought to you by Writelight!
