My back isn’t happy today. That’s lovely, considering I need to do housework and mow the lawn. I also managed to twist my ankle last night, but so far it only hurts when I turn my foot one direction. Yeah… what a great start to the weekend. I spent so much of yesterday looking forward [...]

Why do I read these things??

I won’t go into to details, as I don’t think I need to sit at my desk for the rest of the work day crying about it… but I wonder why I read these stories about children who are killed or hurt. It’s awful. All I can feel when I read them is how I [...]

I’m sending out a big thank you to Steph for answering my worried call for comments. And yes, Steph, you were right: my gut was telling me one thing and my worries were stemming from that. Ultimately, I haven’t given up on my dream, but I did tank those classes. It had to be done [...]
Dilemma, comments anyone?

Here’s the problem… the state government just announced that it refactored several positions, including the library assistant position that I was going to try to do a lateral move to after I completed two distance courses this summer. I’m spending a bit of money to do the classes and I have through to tomorrow to [...]

My youngest turned a year old on May 3rd. His first year has been stressful and chaotic, so here’s my birthday wish for him (a bit belated)…
I hope you have a lovely second year, filled with all of us who love you. I hope you keep growing big and strong, with that sweet [...]
Another bad night and the mom worries

My little one had such a high temp at 3am that I was seriously worried. I’ve never been this worried with him. It’s down now and he’s being Mr. Happy and Cheerful, especially where the dog is concerned, but him feeling good now didn’t help me back at 3am.
I was holding him, giving him a [...]

It was a bad night in our household. The boys are fighting something… allergies? a cold? I don’t know. It started coming on this week and has just built up into something yucky. Oldest kept waking up crying because he couldn’t breathe and he wouldn’t say anything about why he was crying, but it went [...]
Sometimes you just have to make the first step

This one will be quick, as I need to get quite a bit done at work today. I enrolled in two distance classes (undergraduate, as the University of Idaho classes aren’t ALA-accredited so there’s no sense in paying more for graduate level classes that won’t count towards my degree). I’m taking Cataloging and Classification, as [...]
I am NOT alone!

I’ve been up since about 4 or 4:30. Although it’s hard to say exactly when I woke up, I think it’s in that ballpark. I can say that with a high degree of accuracy since I finally decided to give up attempting to sleep at about 4:50am.
Todd had just gotten into bed. We both [...]
