I’m waiting on various responses before I can get some big tasks done, so I thought I’d take a moment to reflect on a couple things.
First… I was walking in to work this morning, listening to Fleetwood Mac and it hit me that we used to listen to “Rumours” on the bus to school each [...]

Interview tomorrow, relief?
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged job change on April 29, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Often times, we know when it’s time to let go of something, that it’s time to move on and start on a new path.
I’m there right now. Some folks think that getting a raise will make an unpalatable situation all better, but that sweetness only disguises that you’re still swallowing crap. I’m ready to stop [...]
The end of the month blues

We’re continuing to fight the various illnesses that seem to be endlessly circulating through town. It’s a toss-up as to what will do me in first, fatigue about work and stress, or fatigue from fighting with illness and the impact it is having on our kids.
Bren is having issues. I suppose there is no other way to [...]
Illness, version 10.1
Posted in Uncategorized on April 23, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
Bren is sick with yet another bug. On top of trying to heal from having baby teeth pulled, he is recovering from conjunctivitis and then he picked up a virus on top of that. It explains (partially, at least) the fits and the misery.
I’ve had it at work. Yet another instance of faculty and their [...]
Not super mom

I lost it last night. The pressures and the exhaustion finally caught up with me and I was done. Bren is having difficulties, ranging from behavioral to medical right now (the medical are minor – recovering from pink eye, fighting a respiratory bug, recovering from having the teeth pulled, but the behavioral are worrisome…).
Everything piled [...]

The most disturbing part of this article for me (besides the thing as a whole) was the line “…giving their children soda because it’s cheaper than milk…”
My household has felt the impact. We began trying to eat healthier, using the Great American Detox Diet as our central source for ideas, but between being scheduled to [...]
Ahh, here we are on a Monday

I am sporting a new hair cut (that I love) and some new clothes to fit my chubby, post-baby body. I needed to look better at work and I think I’m on the path.
This cold/sinus thing is still hanging in here, but it’s starting to give up the ghost a bit. I have confidence that it [...]
Crap

The fatigue is hitting now. I’m almost useless and I can’t concentrate. This is bad.

Yet another insomnia blog

The last of this nasty cold/sinus crud thing has me up early. Well, actually it was the baby first then the cold. Truly I’m feeling better, but for some reason I’m still having issues at night. Now I’m up, checking emails, drinking water with some lemon and I decided to blog.
We took Bren to the [...]
Feeling better, but still sluggish

The baby is fighting this crud and he seems to be doing better than I did. I had it HARD for a full week and I’m still battling the last remnants of it. The most difficult part of being sick now is being sick and being a parent. I never realized how much easier it [...]
