this morning, as we puttered around the kitchen over breakfast and baby and dog interruptions and simmering stir fry, Bryson commented, “it feels like Saturday.” he sat finishing up his chocolate chip pancakes and laughing about how sore his abs were from the pull-ups and push-ups he did on Monday (out of his norm, but […]
nuts.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Family Life, Kids, Life, Reflection on January 14, 2014
so what do you do, say, when people think you’re nuts? i’m throwing this question out there because…i don’t have a good answer for it. my immediate response to adversity, especially when i feel attacked, is to go on the defensive. i quote. i reference. i rack my brain. i organize my arguments while i […]
conversation.

some interesting things happen when you open yourself up to (mostly) uninterrupted time with your kids. time when you’re not nagging them to finish science or hounding them about the math assignment they’ve been putting off, or scolding them for not completing their chores when it’s 8:30 and time to sit down for class. all […]
controversy.

there is this little part of me that really enjoys stirring up trouble. it’s actually kind of funny to think that’s true, because i was always the good girl. always the one my parents didn’t have to worry about. my grades were above average, i didn’t push the boundaries, i didn’t break curfew or talk […]

with any research endeavor, the biggest job of getting from what you know now to what you want to know involves sifting through the vast enormity of information available on the topic. as with any Google search, i am overwhelmed by the amount of information found where i started–the very broad topic of “unschooling” (also, the […]
decision.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Reflection on January 1, 2014
i did it. i figured it out. well, i should probably say, “i read it someplace and stole it.” that would be more true. because apparently everyone else was blogging about not having new years resolutions yesterday too. go figure. i’ve read a bunch of them now. (they’re generally all better than mine. grammatically, technically…and […]

warning: parenthesis to follow. many of them. if you and i are friends, you know i talk in parenthesis as much as i write in them, so none of this will come as a shock to you. but just in case you stumbled upon my blog randomly…consider yourself warned. a really (really, really) long time […]
tomorrow.

there is so much i put off until tomorrow. but seriously, tomorrow is almost here. tomorrow i start p90x3. i’m not putting this one off. just lining up my rest days. 🙂 after all the beachbody programs i have started (and completed), this shouldn’t be that big of a deal, right? but i have anticipated […]
bullcookies.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Kids, Life on December 19, 2013
good little Christian girls don’t use curse words, right? ok. well. fine. i call bull cookies on this day, then. the whole thing. every last second of it. (ok, maybe except for the part where i was sitting on Reasa’s lap in the reception area at the lawyer’s office today as she bounced me on […]
fail.

have you noticed that it’s already the 17th of December, friends? that’s the 5th day of Christmas, for those of you keeping track. which means i only have seven left. the photo challenge, obviously, was poorly planned, and not even REMOTELY executed. because that’s how i roll with commitments other than “get through the month […]
