Might be the best of both worlds. Unfortunately, most of those kinds of properties are two-story which is not an option for us with my husband's physical handicap. Limits us a bit. Your lakeside property sounds wonderful.

It is wonderful. Our home was great too...but with my health I wasn't sure H could handle all of the work alone. Now I can enjoy the lake house with him.
I just put 1 + 1+ 1 together from things you've written...your sister, marching band, TX, H's handicap....Chris?

I wish I could. There's got to be a happy medium, doesn't there?

I am sad about the Saucony's because they aren't making them in the same color anymore, and I can't find them ANYWHERE online in my size, not even Ebay!
I have a ton of shoes as well...mostly heels and boots. I  shoes. |
I have a collection of vintage converse that I've found everywhere. Oldest pair is 1952 black. Very cool. They all fit me too, so I wear them. Heck, I know they are worth more in good condition, but I'm never selling them, life is short, and my kids don't want them.

Everybody in my family along with family friends seemed very disappointed...not sure if they expected me to play professional basketball or something??  |
I'm 5'10" and always wished I was tiny.

that sounds so gross to me! lol But I know you're enjoying, so have at it.
It's 9:11PM and the Alberta Clipper is upon us. Complete white-out outside. Sadie went to go out for a pee, and turned around and ran right back in.
"um, I'll hold it till morning, mom"
She will too.
I tried to go lay down, but H said my wheezing was bugging him. Mom's in the guest room, and both my kids are actually home this weekend...so couching it with the couch.
