I have all the organizational technology available to me that I could ever need.  I have a blackberry, computer with calendar, reminder notices, email, texting and voice-mail.  I still can’t seem to keep our family’s daily schedule straight  Actually I am quite sure it is technology that has done me in.  My information comes at...

Timmies, Tantrums & TSN Prospects: Chronicles of a Serendipitous Puck Mummy Today was just one of those days at work where I just wanted out. So I left early. Early enough to catch the last 10 minutes of Noah’s Wednesday hockey practice. Normally I am never at this practice. It totally conflicts with my work...

I am now back at work in an office every day.  That has caused many changes in my daily routine.  Most of them I have been able to plan for and work through.  I can’t say that mornings are smooth yet considering every day since January 4th has had some form of “emergency” – forgot...

Did you know that 88% of adults make New Year’s resolutions, but only 20% of them keep them.  Well that’s what the Farmer’s Almanac says anyway.  I guess I would rarely fall into the latter category.  In fact, this year I would be one of the 12% who didn’t make any resolutions.  That is...

Yesterday I received a handwritten card in the mail.  It was a thank you note from my god-daughter for her Christmas present.  This was particularly lovely considering I sent her this year and last year’s present at the same time. I could make a lot of excuses but basically I just got overwhelmed and forgot to...
