Morning all,
Oh wow, what a tremendous start to the morning!
But wait! I just got ahead of meself - I must first rewind and bring you back, back back to…ummmm…..last week! Yes! Last week!
Last week, I had posted Today’s Thought To Share - Easily Do 100 Pushups. I’m pleased to announce I’m up to 350 every few days (in batches of 7 - today is another 350 pushup day, I’ve already completed 150). And I’ll bet you’re wondering:
Jeepers Barbara, what got you into doing something so insane?
So glad you asked! You see, 2 weeks or so ago Read more »

Good morning,
Today is a sad day in the Ling family. Our treasured parakeet, Master Keet, died.
Now, it’s commonly thought that parakeets are ’starter birdies’ or otherwise easily swapped about. Nothing could be further from the truth!
Budgies have adorable personalities that really bloom if you allow them free access outside the cage and into your heart.
Master Keet was one of Read more »

Today’s Thought to Share - You ARE as good as me (or are YOU?)
Morning all!
My get-up-and-go apparently got up and went, and my energy level right now is, oh, gee, lemmee see….close to attaining the heights of fresh molasses running uphill on a cold winter morning. It might have been teh 350 pushups I did in batches of 50 throughout yesterday, or maybe the agonizingly long drive when I took the kids to the Rail Road Museum, or the fact that my sleep was less sound than an Iron Maiden concert….
Lethargic - thy name is Barbara!
But I digress. 
Today’s thought of the day centers upon the excellent quote: Read more »

Storming the gates of HELL , otherwise known as teaching kids boundaries
Morning!
And how are you today? Over here in LingLand, I suffered beyond mere mortal comprehension yesterday. Yes indeed, I had to (gasp!) SACRIFICE!!!!!
It was agonizing, it was painful, it was soul-searing and consumed my very being…..but for my family, I’d storm the gates of Hell (as would any other husband or wife).
Well, okay, perhaps….I might have over-exaggerated my undying hair-raising ethics-fusing mind-numbing rather mundane choice of yesterday’s action. You see, yesterday was supposed to be Read more »

Stop and smell the butterflies
Morning! And how is life treating you today?
Over here in LingLand, I’ve decided that being healthy is a Very Good Thing indeed. Having experienced the joys of food poisoning on Thursday and a virus yesterday, I can honestly tell you - I’ve had enough character-building in that general direction, thank you very much! Hopefully this week will be, ahem, filled with more vim and vigor compared to blah and bovineness.
But I digress.
Today’s post deals with how the most unique and precious of life’s little moments can profoundly affect how you choose to live the Read more »

The evilness of children and why your family comes first
Morning all,
Well! Chalk one up to being vaguely alive once again - the virus that smooshed me on Thursday came ’round again today, ensuring my family and I missed our karate belt promotions. Wah!
The good news is, I woke up again 10 minutes ago and am feeling a wee bit more tending-towards-the-bipedal mode right now. Yay! Which of course, means I want to write about something most amusing that happened yesterday.
There I was, innocent Mom, working on my various/sundry unique writings, when Honorable Daughter I came to me and said, Read more »

Sigh.
