thinking.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, God, Life, Reflection, Writing on January 31, 2014
have you ever noticed that when you sit down to write something which will eventually receive a) a grade or b)a potential critique…you write more intently and more intentionally than you would if you were sitting down to write yourself a note? think back to college. high school, even. you write yourself a note–something you […]
on hold.

a month into my most recent (new) workout program (update on P90X3 coming soon)(i’m sure you’re chomping at the bit!!), and i keep glancing at the mirror, expecting something different. there’s this feeling of insanity about once a week when i get very real with myself before changing out of my workout attire (unforgiving stuff, […]

so. we’re a week and a half in. we are still alive. i feel this, in itself, is an accomplishment. here is what my kids are doing: Bryson is spending a lot of time building. and, umm, building some more. yesterday, he found the supplies on Garry’s Mod to build a hovercraft, figured out […]
enough.
Posted by malindar in All About Mindy, Life, Reflection on January 20, 2014
lest anyone think that because i’ve been posting so often lately, i must always have deep, deep thoughts which may eventually become blog posts… …i am not thinking deeply today. actually, i’m maybe not thinking at all. (yeah, right.) i need days like that, though. and those days… they are few and far between. have […]

today i sent my daughter with my husband on a field trip. a field trip on which i could not bring myself to go. i know, you’re thinking, “umm, what’s up with THAT? aren’t you her TEACHER??” (actually you’re probably just like, “whatever, would you get to the point, please?”) yes. i am. but this […]
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 […]
rant.
Posted by malindar in Kids, Life, Ugh., Uncategorized on January 6, 2014
i believe that we are raising a generation of weenies. that’s right. weenies. and i don’t mean the cute little ones you call “pigs in a blanket” and wrap up in tiny crescent rolls, or slather in nasty barbecue in your crock pot for holiday gatherings (yuck.). i mean our kids are wimps, folks. wussies. […]

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 […]
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 […]
