Dear Dad,

Why can't you be a responsible adult?  You moved in to help me after my surgery.  You lost your job because you lost your temper.  It's no one's fault but yours.  It happened before we even knew I was going to have surgery.   You help with Gabe sometimes.  Pretty much only in the evenings/ at night actually.  I grew tired of not getting ( Read more... )

I posted this on one of my mommy boards.  I thought I should run it by friends, too.  H = Husband and DS = dear son
The surgery I had last March has really altered my life in not so good ways.  I can't be on my feet long, I have very limited use of my right hand, I have been left deaf in my left ear and temporarily blind in my left eye.  I can't ( Read more... )

  I am so frustrated right now.  Patrick is always at work and I am always stuck home alone with a toddler.  I can't drive.  I can't take him to the park by myself.  I'm not fast enough to keep up with him.  If a friend comes over, they just want to hang out here.  Joy.  When Patrick is home, he just wants to stay in and take it easy.  I understand ( Read more... )

I have decided that this is my new favorite quote:

"There are so many people out there who will tell you that you can't.  What you've got to do is turn around and say 'watch me'".

  Nani has been horrible about updating.  Maybe because when Kyu's not around my life revolves around the 34" tall terror.  I love my son.  I do not love being nothing but mom 24 flippin 7.  Is it bad that the highlight of my day is when Kyu or Pat are here?  I'm still mom.  I just get to be something else, too ( Read more... )

NEVER use UPS.  They made an attempt to deliver my new phone.  My old one broke and I rather need my new one.  So I called the insurance co and even after confirming my address, they still put it in wrong.  So I notice on the tracking page, it says "A CORRECT STREET NUMBER IS NEEDED FOR DELIVERY. UPS IS ATTEMPTING TO OBTAIN THIS INFORMATION / A ( Read more... )

This is a British commercial against texting while driving. It is not work safe and not ok for younger kids. It's graphic, but if this gets through to people, good.

Okay, my SIL got pregnant at 16 and had her twins at 17.  Not a problem, but relevent.

My SIL's girls live with her parents.  3 hours away.  She goes to college up here.  Now, in '05 for Katrina DH's parents, little brother and the girls stayed with us because they live right on the coast.  So instead of 3 hours, they were 15 minutes away.  At the ( Read more... )
