I can’t begin to describe (in clean terms, anyway) how glad I am to see 2008 go away. I wanted to like it, but in the end I didn’t.
2009 is going to be my hopeful year. I’ve decided.
I have been researching programs, both those offered at the technical college where I work and elsewhere. Here’s [...]

It hit me today – my job is unnecessary. With all the budget cuts at work, my job is the most easily discarded. I don’t know if this bothers me or not. The two major duties I have were given to someone else back in October. It wasn’t done as a punitive measure, at least [...]
Some small thoughts
Posted in Uncategorized on December 30, 2008 | 2 Comments »
I thought a lot about what I’d write today, while I was walking in to work, but now that I’m sitting here I just don’t know what to let out first.
A first quick note to Ann: Thanks for mentioning that posting yesterday… I’m not qualified for it, but I appreciate that you let me know [...]
Message from the universe?

More bad news today, this time on the job front for Todd. Between that and the overwhelming financial worry, I’m evaluating my need to be in school this spring and I’m beginning to think this is not the time. How am I going to concentrate on my classes when I can barely function right now? [...]
The year ends pretty much as it has been… blah…

I have nothing exciting to report. The kids are off to gramma’s house for the day, Todd is sleeping, and I am at work. I’ve already had someone come to my office and call me the wrong name - this even with my name plate outside of my office. Hmm… what else? Nothing much really. Still [...]
Mysteries of the universe

Why why why is Paris Hilton in Cat in the Hat?
And has anyone noticed that the girl completely lacks rhythm?
And has anyone notice how weirdly “rhythm” is spelled?
Why do small children do the same action over and over, even though it causes discomfort and/or pain to them?
Why do husbands, male roommates, and sons always take [...]
Boxing Day
Posted in Uncategorized on December 26, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I’m originally from Canada. We celebrated boxing day up there. Now, we moved when I was a kid, so I have to be honest… I’ve never really understood the significance of boxing day until now. When I was little I thought it was related to the sport and considering I’ve never been that into sports, [...]
finding the spirit

The countdown is over and now it’s a matter of making it until bedtime for the 6-year old. We’re tracking Santa on NORAD and I’ve been told we’re already feeling tired even though it’s only 3:40 in the afternoon.
In lieu of Christmas music, Todd has the White Stripes on. Works for me and the oldest [...]
More than a little tired…

The six year olds have taken me down!
So took the Praxis today. I got my math score instantly – 186. I have no idea if that’s good or bad, but I needed a 175 for my program and I took it cold today, so I’m pretty happy. I had planned to study but [...]
Ahhh, loving being home

I’ve got three little boys here (well – one small and two medium) with me. We’ve got music going, the older boys are on the computer watching Legos vids on Youtube and the baby is attempting to work the kid walkie-talkies by himself. I’ve got my feet up for a few minutes while I check [...]
