We had a family meeting last night because we've all been fighting. I felt so main stream parenting magazine. It's weird that we can have such horrible fights and then all sit down and talk about it rationally afterwords. Why can't we just talk rationally from the start ( Read more... )

I just made a crap dinner. I hate that.

Bought some plants for the garden. Only a few flowers. I'm aiming at mostly planting useful things- except I'll waste a whole raised bed on zinnias. They're my favorite flower. There used to be a house near my boy's school that grew zinnias instead of grass for their front lawn every summer. Zinnias like it hot, so I'd watch every week, waiting for ( Read more... )

Allergies are making me useless. My head aches all the time and my teeth hurt too. I can't take anything because if I do, I end up even more useless. It's bad enough feeling miserable, but this sucks for my kids. They need to get outside and do some things. But if I take them out I'm miserable for the rest of the day. I need to learn to ignore it ( Read more... )

We are off to the Maryland Sheep and Wool festival- if we ever get out of the house. Life would be easier without all these animals in my house. I'll miss them anyway. How will I sleep without M.E. sleeping on one side of me and my little pain in the ass dog snoring loud enough to wake the dead?

I was flipping around last night and ended-up watching Sex and the City reruns. That show has grown on me. This is the last season they're showing. Miranda looks so pretty with a little meat on her bones. And Barishnikov! I confess to once having a poster of him- the only time I had a teen idol type poster in my room. Who the hell dressed Sarica ( Read more... )

Yesterday, a big storm came. Bee was driving to come get me and M.E. from the library, when he saw the storm coming right at him. (You ever done that- driven into a storm? It's so cool how you can see it up ahead). But as he got closer, he realized what he was seeing was a huge cloud of whirling pollen that had swept out in front of the storm! The ( Read more... )

Apologies for the whiny post. I've decided to dye some fiber and get over myself ( Read more... )

I need to get a normal sleep rhythm. I'm constantly tired. I wake-up late and there's always a mess to clean-up to start my day and I hate it. I feel crappy and end up blowing off way too much and let the kids watch too much teevee. I never want to do kid stuff. M.E. wants to play and I don't want to because my tired brain can't focus on those ( Read more... )
