little moments....BIG LIFE!: October 2010
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2010_10_01_archive.html
Sunday, October 17, 2010. I've been struggling with this topic internally for some time. Actually, it began a year or so ago when I began researching for a grant I was writing for Fortress Youth Development Center. A faith-based nonprofit org whose main emphasis is providing literacy training and support for children who don't seem to be getting in their "at-risk" schools. It escalated recently when I began hearing about a new film called "Waiting for 'Superman'". But we're the lucky ones. We had a c...

little moments....BIG LIFE!: March 2010
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2010_03_01_archive.html
Friday, March 19, 2010. I had just rolled over for a few more minutes of snuggle time when both boys marched into our bedroom and announced,. Mom, the cat has been BAD.". I imagined mounds of cat yack on the bottoms of my curtains, piles of cat poop at the base of the stairs, and other bad-cat shenanigans. She took a loaf of bread to the family room and it's all over the place. Aaaand, she tore into her cat food and ate the whole bag! I was scared of what we'd find. Mice? A squirrel. Remember the bird.

little moments....BIG LIFE!: gray matter
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2011/09/gray-matter.html
Wednesday, September 14, 2011. My Ian has always had such a soft heart. He knows that no matter what, I won't stand for lying. If I can count on Ian for anything, it's to tell me the truth. Aidan, not so much. I have to wonder about his honesty sometimes. But Ian. never. He knows how much it hurts me, to be lied to, and for that reason, he just won't allow himself to go there. Which is why it bothered him to learn that one of his friends had a birthday party this summer and didn't invite him. It's the li...

little moments....BIG LIFE!: Loneliness and Idolizing The One
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2014/07/loneliness-and-idolizing-one.html
Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Loneliness and Idolizing The One. I talk a lot of smack about being independent and free and strong. And all of that is true, but what's also true is that I'm a girl who needs to be deeply cherished and taken care of and passionately desired. What happened to the girl, who last summer, was fulfilled and content and joyfully free? When did she become needy and lonely and woefully confined? Where was the breakdown?

little moments....BIG LIFE!: Why I'm Giving Up Facebook for Lent
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2014/03/why-im-giving-up-facebook-for-lent.html
Wednesday, March 05, 2014. Why I'm Giving Up Facebook for Lent. You might have a Facebook problem. When your 13-year old prefaces every photo op and most conversations with ".don't tag me, Mom.". When you start seriously dating a guy and realize that one of the first disclosures you made was, "I'm a prolific Facebooker; you're okay with your pic being posted. A lot. Right? When you go half a day without posting and one of your best friends texts you to make sure you're okay - and he's sincerely concerned.

Wednesday, July 13, 2011. Day 18: a song that makes you laugh. Hate is a strong word, so let me clarify. I wonder if people will believe me. I fantasize about sleeping another 10 minutes. I don't speak. I don't smile. I go through the motions until everyone's out the door. My children are cautious around me, and leave a wide berth. I usually drive, but I drive like an old lady. Sometimes, Darren says, "Are you sleep driving again? Until that alarm goes off the next morning. And then. Links to this post.

little moments....BIG LIFE!: June 2011
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 27, 2011. Day 16 - a song with clever lyrics. Today's challenge was supposed to be "a song you used to like and now you hate". Meh. Whatever. I asked Darren to give me a new one, and he said, "A song with clever lyrics". Immediately, I clapped my hands and said, "I know which one! And turned to my keyboard to start typing. He replied, with a snark in his voice, ". that alliterative one? Yes How'd you know? I know you," he replied. Racing around to come up behind you again. Pink Floyd, "Time".

Sunday, March 09, 2014. Recovery - reposted from August 2013. During my divorce, I created a private, hidden blog where I vented and processed and healed. Very few people knew about it. It is something that I will likely keep private for the most part. But there are parts of it that are worth sharing with the world in general. The following entry was written in August 2013. It's hard to believe that a year has passed since I logged in here. So much has happened. I can do this! Links to this post. So I've...

little moments....BIG LIFE!: day 19: a song from your favorite album
http://cowtownstacy.blogspot.com/2011/08/day-19-song-from-your-favorite-album.html
Tuesday, August 30, 2011. Day 19: a song from your favorite album. Whoops. Life got busy again, as it always tends to do. I wish I could get a grip on that. So along the way, I decided to listen to my all-time favorite album of his (via YouTube, of course, because it meant I didn't have to go digging through my CDs. Click click, VOILA, instant music.) The album? The next challenge on the list was this one! It's a no-brainer - tonight, anyway. Tonight, my favorite album is Eric Clapton's Unplugged....
