Dear Mr. Bade ( Read more... )

I'm mad as piss ( Read more... )

Hello hello! Testing one two three. Someone I really respect just inspired me to check back in and maybe start posting again. I don't know if I will more than once, or what I'll end up doing, but it feels kinda nice. And kinda weird. The last time I wrote, Ollie was 1 years OLD!! Now he's four and I have another one who is almost 1. She really ( Read more... )

Well I barely post anymore, no time, but I suppose there is no time like the present. I don't really know what to say, what points to make in all the catching up since Christmas. This has always been more of a time keeper then a place for me to rant or anything like that...a record of the life I've had since high school, sometimes I think a new ( Read more... )

Well Ollie had his first Christmas. I was terrified it wouldn't go as well as I'd like it to, since Scott has been so depressed and crabby lately, but it was pretty nice.

They want her to focus on the problem of school bullying, in particular, and ( Read more... )

That's right kids, it's another exciting edition of Book Talk! It's been a while, and I honestly don't know if I'll ever have much of a chance to read, but I would like to try! There are a lot of books out there I'm interested in lately. I might download some audio book versions and put them on my mp3 player and listen to them while taking little ( Read more... )

Hello ( Read more... )

So I'm a mom now. It's coming pretty naturally for the most part, I don't feel stressed too often and I don't need as much help as I thought I would. The hardest thing about it is the same as it was for pregnancy...the total discrepancy in ideas and advice from people. For instance: Oliver has had quite a large appetite lately (he's ALWAYS hungry ( Read more... )
