Todd just called. Lisa Kelly at Clusterfook passed away last night. I had no idea how I would feel when (and, in my mind, if – since I kept holding out hope that she would be the survivor again)… she passed. For more than a year I’ve read her blog, cheering for her and praying [...]

Saturday morning miracle and other thoughts
Posted in Uncategorized on February 28, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
The boys let me sleep in until 8am. This is huge! Aidan has slept that long, at least through the morning, since he was born. This is the kind of thing I expected in 6 months to a year from now. WAHOO!!
I think I got about 8-9 hours of sleep. Ahhh… nice…
So it’s a cold [...]
Just won my first game of chess!

Admittedly, it doesn’t really count because Bren started the game and dad had to finish it, but it was a lot of fun. Having to think ahead a couple of moves was a challenge. There were a couple points where I thought I was going to bite the dust, but I held on.
Todd is incredibly [...]
Friday afternoon, ahh….

Still dealing with the leftovers from this stupid sinusitis/cold thingy. Not thrilling me in the least. Did the numbers on how many hours I have left on my tutoring contract – good news! I’ve got 8.25 hours for T.T. and 8.00 hours for W.Y. Also found out why T.T. was acting so odd around me [...]
Insomnia Blog 3.0 – or, the damn I’m too hot blog

Woke up when Todd came to bed after 2am and I was dying from being too hot. (dramatic… but hey, I’ve been sick for the last week, so it’s reasonable to be a bit dramatic). I finally got out of bed after squirming for a bit and it was 72 degrees… considering we have the [...]
on a lighter note…

I had a great tutoring session tonight. I also got the foodstamps issue dealt with. I rock.
And that’s just how life goes sometimes. Some days things go really great. Some days things just seem to suck.
I’m sitting here, enjoying the peace of NOT having to run everywhere this evening. It feels soooo good. Bren is [...]
Further thoughts from the land of the lost

I got a nice response from Bren’s teacher. I have to say this: I feel for her. It sounds like she is feeling some of the same things we are in dealing with him. Only, at the same time, she has to deal with the needs of an entire classroom – with all of their [...]
“200 applicants for every one job”

This blog title is a quote from our local Dept. of Labor. Micron just announced 1000 people being let go in our area, with 2000 total coming in the summer.
This is a scary time to have Todd underemployed.
This is also a scary time to be working for the state. I’m headed in to the office [...]

I have no idea what to do. I think any differentiation that was happening in Bren’s kindergarten class has stopped. I don’t know for sure, but from what he’s saying, it sounds that way.
I don’t know if it’s because he’s become resistant to doing work or if his teacher has assumed that his needs will [...]
another day, another dollop of cough syrup
Posted in Uncategorized on February 24, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
My ribs and back are hurting from coughing. It really sucks, but sleeping yesterday helped a ton. So I sucked it up and stayed home today. I’m going to take some more cough syrup so I can rest and I’m going to crash out in a bit. I feel like I should be hungry, but [...]
