Morning!
I’ve come to the conclusion that to flow better in karate, it would reeeeealllly help if I practiced at home. Thus, I’m creating my own home-study program of the basics, and so far, it seems to be rather useful indeed.
Let’s take front kicks. The key to getting height, obviously, is to […]

Morning,
Did you know that you can access online databases of sex offenders who might live nearby you? This is an excellent resource for parents.

Morning,
I had the weirdest dream last night - it mushed together the people I know now with the people I know from the past, threw in a bit of Cloverfield movie, and made me think I was 43 without having completed college, gotten married, nor had 4 kids (but still had all the wisdom […]

Sigh.
You know, it’s quite an experience coming home from Martial Arts and having your child absolutely deny he broke something of his siblings, when 20 seconds prior, he readily admitted to it.
Sigh.
Very frustrating, indeed. I really dislike coming down on my kids, but realize…it just has to be done. Sigh. So […]

Kids. Gotta love ‘em, else you’ll implode with grace and joy.
As you probably know if you read my blog, I’m a mom of 4 who lost 45+ pounds and currently is into staying healthy and fit. I do P90x, cardio, workouts, karate, etc.
Speaking of karate, I participate in that with all my […]

Morning,
I just came across the following recently - it reveals all the telephone codes you need to get past annoying voice menus and actually talk with a Real Live Human Bean.

Check it out - it’s very useful indeed!
Enjoy,

Howdy all,
If there’s one thing my surgery and subsequent recovery has taught me, it’s that even if things are quite difficult, you can always find a way around the problem and begin to master your goal.
Take round-house kicks. I’m somewhat decent with them on my right side, but my left side…because my left […]

Morning,
Sigh, kids are so….kid-like.
One of my kids came to me today and say, Mom, I need a new backpack, mine smells!
So he brought it over, and I checked it out….and then pulled out a fossilized sandwich that looked like it had been residing there since 1723.

“Ahem, child of mine, might you explain the meaning […]

Morning all,
One of the most important things you can give your children (and spouses, and friends, and people who are important to you) is the gift of the healing touch.
What is that, I hear you ask? Well, ask a dozen different folks, and you’ll get a dozen different answers. I myself have […]

Howdy all,
Before I give myself permission to collapse in a heap from this evening’s workout, I have to post about:
I can actually do vaguely decent karate kicks now.
Not only that, but I actually like them. Hand techniques were my favorites before…but now that I can actually (gasp!) move! and kick! and almost […]
