Why can't I get a moment of peace? Why can't I go a day without seeing my least favorite in-law? Why can't my in laws get through their fucking heads that if they really love my kid, they would brush her hair and bathe her when she's over there and maybe have some rules so she doesn't vomit from too many sweets ( Read more... )

Seriously, my daughter's hair-brained ideas work...at least this one looks like it will. Yesterday, when it was barely still snowing, she dug a hole and waited for a snowflake to fall in, and covered it up. She said she was planting snow so it will grow more snow...we are expecting 2-5 inches tomorrow ( Read more... )

The 10 minute snow today sorta justified the 9 degree weather we had. That makes me happy. I just wish it didn't take girlie 11 minutes to get dressed.

Kidlet has been anxiously awaiting...since Dec 27th 2007...the breaking out of the Xmas movies. I broke down today. Rudolph would not be nearly as catchy and cute all year round. "Why don't I fit in?" may be the story of my life, but damn, I don't want to hear about it all year around ( Read more... )

I don't post often, because...well...life is usually normal. Happy, but nothing exciting. The only exciting things are usually bad and to post only bad makes my friends think that my life sucks. It doesn't...but today does. I had to tell my girlie that her dog died. Doggie lives at Gramma's, and she's going over there tomorrow. I thought she ( Read more... )

Sometimes you can get a good kind of exhaustion. The kind where you have accomplished a lot. While I didn't get as much done as I wanted, I feel good...weary, but good. Not done yet, but I will taking everything at a much easier pace now. Life is good.

Figured I'd let everyone know I was still on this earth. I promised myself a certain amount of time on the computer this afternoon before taking on whatever various tasks need to be done, and I decided to post ( Read more... )

a long weekend up in the mountains at a great B&B, where the innkeepers consider you friends. Just got back from our 4th anniversary getaway...and had it not been for traffic on the way home, I would still be too relaxed to unpack. However, the traffic sucked...therefore, I'm almost done with the unpacking. Back to work tomorrow, to undo all ( Read more... )

Today is a make it or break it day for Smurf. He takes a test that he HAS to pass today to get into the nursing program...and apparently he didn't realize until last night that he needed a watch with a second hand. His pocket watch is dead, which I didn't realize or would have fixed this week. He's borrowing my watch, and as with many women's ( Read more... )

Not what I had planned, therefore I stressed this morning, but today has been awesome. Took Smurf to work, as we are down to one car, then Bojo's for breakfast. Girlie was being extra cute. Dropped Smurf's car off for an oil change, which was frustrating...even though I didn't wait there... Then went to Extreme Play to let Girlie loose on all ( Read more... )
