Life at the Duck Farm: 01/15
http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/2015_01_01_archive.html
99 Problems (aka: A whiny post, be warned). It's the beginning of a new year and rather than being filled with the hope of an awesome year full of weight loss, a potential promotion and potential crafty business. I am weary. I'm tired of being overly responsive to nonsense things that shouldn't bother me. How did I become super emotional girl? I don't like being this girl, she's a downer. I'm just tired, tired in my body and in my soul. I don't sleep enough, or well, or consistently. Links to this post.

Life at the Duck Farm: Narcissism.
http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/p/narcissism.html
I am the Ninja, which is a name that came from my co-workers who apparently think I'm kind of stealthy and have a capacity to sneak up on folks. I think stealth is not something I'm capable of, since I can trip over air, but I like the visual and the idea of making my self the ninja of my kitchen and kicking my fat ass into shape.

Life at the Duck Farm: The City of Canals and Life Savers
http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/2014/12/the-city-of-canals-and-life-savers.html
The City of Canals and Life Savers. When I was somewhere around 10, my grandparents came to visit us in Germany where we were living at the time. They came for an extended visit and after a few days of visiting at home we all piled into the minivan and went on a European road trip. Look at the floor" It's funny now, and probably was at the time as well, at least to them; but I recall being super irritated about it. I am the same way with the grandma smell!

http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
I went to the doctor last week and I have hit the top again. 227! So, as with most things in life, this makes me reflective. I think ahead, at what it might do to my daughters if I get down on my body and my appearance. Do you know what they say? In the movie plot of my life, this is the point where I drive in the slowly fading sunset and listen to grungy 90's music and stare contemplatively into the distance thinking about the next steps. So, yeah, gonna go do that now. Links to this post. It's becoming...

October is My Favorite Color. Ladies and Gents,. It's decorative gourd season. It's chilly night season. It's harvest flavored coffee season. It's extra layer season. And all of my favorite things. It's October and I'm in love with October. So enjoy the fall while it lasts, wherever you are. I miss writing and hope to rediscover my muse, but she remains sleepy and uninspired. Type Soon.I promise. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Ever heard the saying, "it's like trying to herd cats? New Mo...

Life at the Duck Farm: The Power of Smell, I mean Love
http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/2015/04/the-power-of-smell-i-mean-love.html
The Power of Smell, I mean Love. Jeeves is a teddy bear, a broad shouldered, tall, affable guy with a great smile and a remarkable impersonation of the cowardly lion, when the mood strikes. He is silly and kind and when I smell that seat belt, or give him a hug, I feel all of the good emotions, and it makes me smile. It took me a minute to figure out what he was talking about. I also discovered that when my perfume smell lingers, the boys will look for me, running through the house, saying "Mommy? Combin...

Life at the Duck Farm: I Miss the Gym
http://theblogofnell.blogspot.com/2015/03/i-miss-gym.html
I Miss the Gym. No really, I do. Before I had 4 children I was able to pack up the girls and drop them off at the childcare center at the gym and walk three miles on the treadmill with little effort. It was all so easy. It is no longer easy. Luckily the weather has become agreeable in Missouri this week and when I go home this afternoon there will likely be enough light to allow me to unfold the behemoth and take the kiddos for a long walk around the park. I got my nose pierced! Or how about, "I've gotta...

Sidebar: Did you ever have a blog post idea that seemed super profound and like it would be a work of literary awesome only to then fall back asleep and completely forget what the topic was, but remember how epic it would have been? Me neither (cursing quietly). And he is walking. Let me just let that sink in. I need to saok up every bit of baby you have to give.
