For the past week the girls and I have been taking walks around our (little over 1 mile) block. My goodness I did not realize how out of shape we all are, including the dog! I'm really glad we started doing this; it not only gets the girls out of the house, but we're meeting lots of neighbors, and getting some good quality time together.

I've signed ( Read more... )

So I finally got an appointment for Little bit to see a professional counselor. It's scheduled for next Monday in the afternoon. I'm really hoping she'll open up and talk about what's been bothering her, but I know since it's the first meeting she may not be ready. How is a parent supposed to react when their 8 year old says she wants to do bodily ( Read more... )

Keep my eldest girl in your thoughts and prayers please. She's having a rough time right now.

Earned an "A" in my Statistical Analysis course. I still can't believe it...it's the first "A" I've ever made in a mathematics course. Ever. Now, on to Diversity in the Workplace this fall. At least I get a two week break between sessions.

Had to leave work early yesterday, and my boss asked me to leave early today because I am sick. So sick that I ( Read more... )

I have been trying to put together an update from the "grand trip" but it just has not happened...sorry about that. In a nutshell, we had a great time visiting, but I definitely do not want to live in Hawaii. The natives don't like us 'howlies' in any way shape or form.

Work is going well. I'm working a compressed schedule which means I'm in the ( Read more... )

So, there I was (why do I suddenly feel a Jeff Foxworthy joke coming on?) waiting for the final exam questions to be posted by my professor. They finally appeared, a day later than the original date she told the class. No big deal, right? One day lost is not too bad. I began my review of the questions when I realized something seemed awry. The ( Read more... )

Seriously, what the deuce is going on with the weather lately? It's been going back and forth from being a tit-bit-nipply to OMG the humidity and heat are here with a vengeance! Yuck.
I turned in my last assignments for this semester's course and am waiting (not so patiently) for the professor to post our final exam questions. We have to choose 5 ( Read more... )

YOU GUYS! The Red Hot Chili Peppers put on an amazing show. Seriously, I didn't sit down once. I danced and screamed and sang so freakin' much. It.was.epic. One super cool aspect of the show is that if you got there early enough, you could have your picture taken for a chance to be featured on their big jumbotron...guess what? MY PICTURE WENT UP ( Read more... )
