Now this is getting tedious. Up at 3:33am this morning. I was awake for a bit before I got up and I know I was conscious for at least 10-15 minutes. Bah. My biorythm is obviously off in a big way. I guess I can view this as a positive, since it gives me some [...]

My first WordPress Insomnia Blog
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged insomnia on January 30, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’ve been up since 3am. It’s going to be a very long day… The problem is that I’ve got too much on my mind and too much to do. So here I sit, having done my taxes, sent off some messages, and having applied for the loan to pay those taxes. What a morning. And [...]
A little bit of subversive baby humor…

On the trip to Portland my mum and I found this little shop, nothing more than a hole in the wall really, and it contained some truly funny stuff. What caught my eye, mum that I am myself, were the humorous onesies. I wish I’d found a few of these when my oldest was a [...]
Lunch (?) break and celebration!
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged children, family, graduate school, schedules on January 28, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I’m really horrible about taking lunch breaks. Part of the problem is that I like my day to be as short as possible. Yes, taking a break is important, but my sanity is equally important. Shortening a 9 hour day to 8 may not sound like much, but it does make a difference.
Today it took [...]
Sunday morning ramble

I just looked at the time and realized I have to get on the road to retrieve my oldest from his first sleep-over birthday party. Time has flown since I dropped him off last night. It’s not so much the location, as he’s spent the night over there before, it’s just that there were a [...]
and if that wasn’t weird enough…

Todd called me at work on Wednesday to report on the kids. Aidan had been sleeping in his crib, but woke up fretting and crying. Todd went into the kitchen to make a bottle, leaving the baby to cry his little heart out.
And the story went something like this…
“I could hear the crying in the [...]
Something fun added to my blogroll

I had been warned, but I couldn’t help it. I added The Domestic Minx. She is amazing. Her talent with words has swept me off my blogging feet. I bow down to her.
She is a delightful mix of language, experience, and vivid turn-of-phrase. Best of all, in my humble opinion… She is a blend of [...]
The crew is sick

I’m down with a winter cold and so are the boys. Looks like Todd is headed in the same direction. It’s important to understand this because the impact hits everything in our household. Our interactions with each other more easily drift into “testy” and less is done around the house. The latter is significant because [...]
Taxes and Student Loans

I haven’t received everything I need to finish up our taxes, but I’ve got the big items in. Ouch. That’s all I have to say. We knew it was coming and frankly, I’m glad it’s not as bad as our worst-case scenario that I projected last summer. It’s actually about 2/3’s of that amount. So [...]
Blogging, Midgets, and Zombies

This is my first day in this new and lovely environment. Excuse the formulaic page layout, but right now it will have to suffice. It was time to move on from the limitations of Myspace. Yes. I admit it. I was blogging and hanging out in Myspace. From a social standpoint, it was fun and [...]
