In a sea of news about companies and the executive level at those companies doing crappy things, this article blew my mind. I highly doubt we’ll see more articles like this, but I have to say this: that is a pretty amazing thing those owners did for their employees.
You know what I’d love to see? [...]

My voice is almost back, yay!

Ahhh… I’m getting my voice back. Last night sucked. I couldn’t get much out and nothing is weirder than trying to say something and having nothing but a hoarse whisper, if anything, come out. I woke up with a raging sore throat and once again, the rinse kit did the trick. I’m drinking cranberry juice [...]

It’s official… I’ve got bronchitis. The upside is that I know what it is. The downside is I can’t talk. Whoa. That is NOT good. I’m a talker.
Anyway. I’m tired… I can’t talk… The baby needs me. So mom keeps on truckin’. The bug is about to be dosed with antibiotics and Veramyst. yay me.
This is disgusting, really disgusting.

I thought perhaps I was going to get through this quickly. Wrong. I cannot believe how sick I got in just a few short days. I have almost no voice and the stuff coming out of my head is disgusting. My temperature went up last night, as did Aidan’s, so I’m waiting on a call [...]

Took a Mucinex before bed. It helped enough that I was able to sleep. Actually, I half expected that it’d keep me up, but no – I did actually sleep…. when I wasn’t shivering in misery.
So early am, Todd took care of MD and it woke me up enough that I decided to get agressive [...]
I’m sick. What kind of joke is this??

I cannot believe this. I’m sick. Brennan’s kid’s party is Saturday. I cannot – I cannot x100 billion – be sick.
It’s a respiratory bug… some cold thing. I’m coughing and my voice is going. I really want to yell at someone. Ugh… I felt it coming on this evening, at around 5pm. I hate it [...]
The fine art of procrastination

It is now 2:30 pm in the afternoon. I am the proud owner of a brand new cake pan. I have a great sewing magazine to read and I’ve found the hardware for the bookcase upstairs and put in the shelves for it.
Here I sit, completely pooped and apathetic. So what do I do? Why, [...]
oh yeah, sure…

Had a laughing (and not in a good way) moment this morning…. The expert said you’re supposed to have 6-12 months expenses saved.
And let me just ask this: HOW THE HELL DO YOU DO THAT WHEN YOU’RE LIVING PAYCHECK TO PAYCHECK???
Let’s say your monthly expenses are $2000 (lower than ours), that means you need $12000 [...]

Skippito Friskito is 6 today. Actually, he was 6 as of 2:20 am this morning. I say this as I sit here in robe, nightgown (short one), knee socks and flats that are painted with hearts and skulls. I noticed how I was dressed this morning and had that brief moment of “whoa! I’m SO [...]
OH YEAH!

I did a great job…. and yes, I’m patting myself on the back. Now I am hurting in a big, big way… Ugh. The bookcases are up, one is almost full. I’m going to need at least one more small one and probably two more… I’m tired now and I feel like I actually got [...]
