let the library go

Reality hit when I was holding vomiting child last night.  But it had started Monday when I realized being out three afternoons each week was going to really impact my BSU department.  This doesn’t even address studying.  Or working out.  Or helping Bren with his homework.
Reality hit.  I made the tough choice.  I’d rather have [...]

sacking out and what the hell??

Slept some today.  Bren was low key and miserable looking, but I think he’s getting past it.  Of course, I thought that about Saturday night too and Monday night was hideous.
I’m not entirely sure what the hell is happening with my system.  You’ve got to be kidding me!  I actually had to apologize to Bren [...]

Cosmic jokes

…are not funny.
Although, and keep in mind, this is my seriously “wrong” sense of humor…  the funniest part about last night was Bren sitting up in his bed crying (yeah, bad mommy) and not saying anything to Todd except “Quick!”  Todd lost no time in responding to it and grabbed poor little dude off his [...]

Two out of four down sick

Brennan once again wins the title for ability to vomit the farthest.  I’m not in the running, yet, although I’ve got that “it’s going to happen any time now” stomach-ache and hot feeling.  Todd’s healthy, for now.  Aidan is just stinky.
We’ve got whatever it is that is cruising through our town right now.  I suggest [...]

Another day, more laundry and Meet the Press

My earlybird is up and I’m getting ready to finish off the laundry before continuing packing & studying.  I’m a little tired… the big monkey was up in the middle of the night, sick and vomiting.  Poor guy.  I don’t know what happened, but I know that he’s not going to be very happy with [...]

Saturday Thoughts

I was up early with Aidan, but luckily I got him to mellow out in his bed for a while.  This is effectively “baby snooze”…
Now the kids are up and cartoons are on.  Funny how they have changed so much, and, with cable cartoon channels, it’s not as exciting to get to Saturday morning… but [...]

Bedtime and end of the day

We took the kids to the park tonight and had a “picnic.”  Well.  It was Jack in the Box and a blanket.  The kids ran until they were both bleary, which was within an hour since they’d been going all day at school and gramma’s house.
The little one is bordering on fearless.  I don’t know [...]

22 years…

The last time I saw my friend, Kimiora, was approximately 22 years ago.
I found her on Facebook today.
I cannot describe this.  I want to.  I want to find the words to say what I’m feeling right now, but they just won’t come.
There are so many memories… so many images that I associate with her.  My [...]

quick, and then it’s back to work

I had a hard time finding clothes to wear for work.  It’s a combination of my weight and inappropriate shoes, given that I have to walk everywhere. 
As I write that, it looks weird to me…  Wouldn’t you think that walking everywhere would do something about the weight issue?  Well, apparently not.  I’ll have to deal [...]

just shoot me now, ok?

I could cry, but that would be pointless.  Little car is at the shop so it can be fixed so we can sell it.
$1385 quote because the timing belt broke while Todd was driving on the freeway, causing the valves to get bent because of the dumb-ass design of the engine.
Kelley Blue Book puts it [...]
