Bren has a high temp and nasty cough. I’m home, keeping him quiet and mellow… not hard to do since he’s been glued to my side all day.

My first insomnia blog of 2009
Posted in Uncategorized, tagged early morning, indigestion, insomnia, juice, refugees, volunteering on January 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
It may be pressing the term a bit much to label this insomnia… rather, it might be termed “Indigestion Blog” or “I woke up with dry mouth, was thirsty, and finally dragged my tired ass out of bed for a glass of water and now I’m awake Blog”…. but that’s getting a bit wordy.
I wish [...]

Really interesting article on Slate, particularly in the face of the “passing” of the stimulus bill without one single Republican vote. Understand me here – I lean Democrat, but I’m just as willing to talk about Democratic issues as those for Republicans… I think that the issue is one of “politician” versus party. I don’t [...]

You Are an Astrologer
You tend to be a fanciful, spiritual person with many interesting theories.
You are always trying to figure out how all the pieces of the world are connected.
You have a knack for predicting the future and reading people.
In modern times, you would make a good self help guru or a director of a [...]
One of those “odd” days…

I’m a bit disconcerted and out of it today. I wish I could quantify and express why, but I don’t know for sure. I’m tired and yet oddly awake.
Todd and I talked this morning, about our lack of exercise and our busy schedules. It feels like we’re fighting (not each other) to just figure out [...]
Learning how to set limits and let go…

Had to have a little “discussion” with myself this afternoon. I started to melt down with all the pressures I’ve placed on myself. Fun stuff. I am NOT doing the amended 2007 return this year – it can wait until later in the year or next year. I am NOT applying for the federal job [...]
A mum’s take on “Meet The Press” for 1/25/2009
Posted in Uncategorized on January 25, 2009 | 2 Comments »
Well now I’m feeling testy. I’m surprised David Gregory didn’t press harder on his first guest this morning…. Lawrence Summers, Director of the National Economic Council…
On the question about what would he tell the folks with the 529 who are five years out until their child will be going to college, the guest gave a [...]
Why the hell am I hungry all the time?
Posted in Uncategorized on January 24, 2009 | 1 Comment »
Could my body please give me a little bit of a break here? I’m starving. You’d think I was living on an island with infrequent and unsatisfying food. Ridiculous. I’m constantly hungry and it makes no sense.
Took care of our errands this morning. We were all up by 7am and out the door before 8:30. [...]
25 Random Things

Helen tagged me into doing this. It’s my first time, so bear with me while I collect my random and coffee-fueled thoughts together…
1. I know I use [...] too much, but it matches how the words sound in my head, so I hope I will be forgiven by those who read my writing and gossip [...]
Whoa, Dude!

I’m not sure what has triggered it, but I woke up this morning to massive traffic on my blog. It’s funny how satisfying that is. Does this make me silly?
Perhaps.
I have a bunch of small things to blog, but will need to do it later today because I actually need to get my butt into [...]
