The Reasonably Clean, Fairly Neat, and Comfortably Tidy House. This year. ~ Like Mother Like Daughter

How sweet! Reading by the fire. Puppy exhausted at last, and convinced to give in to her exhaustion… Do you remember that last year I told you that if you didn’t have a handle on meals and laundry, it almost didn’t matter what your New Year’s Resolutions were? By the way, that can on… Read More »

Several moms & friends on Facebook were fed up this week with trying to do it all.  I was having a particularly bad day with no positive vibe to share.  A friend suggested following this blog, which I am going to read often and enjoy just as soon as I have the laundry under control and know what I am making for dinner.

This is all possible today because my husband, who is a commercial fisherman, has worked my shift at our retail shop for the past two days.  Thank you.

LAPTOP is BACK

Paying bills is what I imagine HELL is like.  Not because I resent or don't want to pay for goods, services or work done, I feel sincerely bad when I get behind on anything or make someone wait for payment because I didn't take care of a house, boat or shop bill.  I am sure to be good and consistent at this it would be a part time job, minimum.  It's a lot better than it was a year ago when I couldn't count on my brain to work more than a few days each month, and then it had to coincide with days my body was working as well, so there is that to be thankful for.  Would trade ALLLLLLLL this for a budget and a simplified life at this stage. Seriously.  The juice is not worth the squeeze and I strictly mean materially.

Not so busy...

My laptop screen broke awhile back and I just don’t cuddle up on the couch with my desktop computer... so I miss writing a lot and suppose I should send the computer to get fixed.  I had it almost three years, pretty sure that’s a record for me.  Another new was it wasn’t broken by me (ie. throwing it across the room).  I am pretty sure the dog jumped on it :(

2016: @alaska_kingcrab got his first passport, ever and I have not had one since I went to Holland in ‘91! I love the rock we live on and don’t especially enjoy leaving it so I was never motivated until now; we can visit @marissanilsen in #Belgium sometime, see #newzealand or something else incredible! But first! Driving with some of my favorite skaters to Wasilla next week, via Canada, for #unitedwerollforjuniors so darn excited now that I know we can ferry and drive! Adventure coming soon💙#roadtrip #travellight #alaskahighway #alaskamarinehighway #loveis #familyfirst #firstpassport #feelsveryimportant #theentireworld #openedup
