"Let me explain. No, there's too much, let me sum up"
What do you do when your kid wakes you up at 3:30AM and you can't go back to sleep? You update, of course. So many happenings have been happening ( Read more... ) -
Ain't it fun? Living in the real world
We held an open house on Sunday. No offers, yet...but I'm hopeful. In the meantime, we'll host another one next Sunday ( Read more... ) -
I remember when, I remember, I remember when I lost my mind
So we've had the house on the market for about two months now and we've had only one bite, but that fell through because we were out of town when the folks wanted to come look at the property. I'm sure a majority of it has to do with the fact that we're in a cove in a section of town that doesn't get a lot of traffic. However, that hasn't stopped ( Read more... ) -
Got to admit it's getting better, getting better all the time.
What a whirlwind of a month May has been. Seriously. I got to see the Klink boys, the youngest girl graduated from Kindergarten, I've taken on more responsibility at work, the hubby and I celebrated 12 years of marriage, began getting the oldest ready for fourth grade and the youngest ready for first grade by setting up tutoring sessions, and we ( Read more... ) -
"Girls just wanna have fun"
I really do cherish the time I get to spend with my family. Last Thursday and Friday, my parents went out of town (doofus hipsters and their Arcade Fire show in Nashville, whatevs!), so I got to take off a bit early and pick up both of the munchkins from their respective schools. We did so much fun stuff in the few hours we had together; lots of ( Read more... ) -
"Shut your mouth, try not to panic"
I've been struggling with my job a bit lately. I'm really trying to work through these feelings of inadequacy since I lost out on the internal job a few weeks ago. How can I grow my skills if I'm not given the opportunity? at least not in the area where I wanted to work...they've asked me to put together a training on customer service (which I've ( Read more... ) -
Well it's all right, sometimes you gotta be strong
Didn't get the internal job I applied for back in November. Yes, you read that correctly, NOVEMBER! I am very disappointed, but I believe I know the reasons why and realize now what I need to do to get myself to the next level. It's just taking that first step that's the worst part.In other news, my birthday twin has been in town over the weekend ( Read more... ) -
I remember when your head caught flame
Am I just overreacting? We recently found out that D's boss is leaving his position at St. Francis. Did I mention that D served as the best man in his "boss'" wedding? Do you want to know how D found out his "boss" was leaving? through another co-worker. The boss did call D later in the day and apologized, but then D found out that a couple of our ( Read more... ) -
Bouncing off the top of this cloud
I'm having a difficult time of late. I can't seem to get my act together to save my life and I finally figured out what it is...me. Lately my job has taken on a very different role; I'm no longer just the budget and office manager. I'm working on multiple projects that are nothing alike (wellness initiative, chartiable giving, various ( Read more... ) -
Swap X
It's been a long December...such an appropriate song. While this particular song doesn't make an appearance on my mix for this 10th year, it is quite apropose to the emotions that have been running rampant through my head. I know Ghost gave instruction to choose music that represents us now, but there are so many awesome songs that meant so much to ( Read more... )
