Is this thing still on?
It's been busy, crazy, and highly stressful around here lately. Some fun too, but not nearly as much as there should be.
In no particular order, some thoughts and events:
My paternal grandfather passed away on January 6. His obituary is here. We went up to Ashland this past weekend to see my grandma and just to be with ( Read more... ) -

And here I am, back on the relatively calm and happy side of my personality. WTF is going on, honestly? Is it just depression or do I have some other sort of mental illness? Honestly, if I'm getting enough child-free/not in charge of kids time, enough sex, enough sleep, and enough time with my most-loved friends, then I'm mostly okay. Let's not ( Read more... ) -

They are fighting constantly, it seems. Actually, they got up and played nicely for about an hour this morning while Chris and I lay in bed like the exhausted lumps we are, but once they'd eaten all hell broke loose. It's like they were just too hungry to fight before breakfast ( Read more... ) -

So much better today. Turns out that a night of trivia, drinks, and a nice long walk with J was exactly what I needed. I love people who will make the most silly, ridiculous jokes to make me laugh - I really needed that ( Read more... ) -

I'm so tightly wound now that I feel like I'll lose it if anyone even touches me. I took the kids to the History Center for the Little Locavores event and it was cool and kind of fun. Or it would have been if my kids didn't spend the whole time fighting, whining, screaming, and kicking things. I think I spent a fair portion of my time there quietly ( Read more... ) -

Kitchen project looming - we've got some sort of leak with our faucet and/or sink and rather than just fixing the leak I want a new sink and cabinet that's not cheap and ugly dented metal from the '60s. I don't hate the sink but it's rusting and dingy and it would cost a lot of money to have it refinished (enameled cast iron). While we're at it, I' ( Read more... ) -

I just finished packing a lunch for us to eat at the park/pool today, hopefully someone besides me eats it. I've managed to use up all of the kale and lettuce from the CSA this week - pretty impressive! Delicious, as well. I'm sure my diet of mostly salads is responsible for the surprise I saw on the scale yesterday morning - I'm below 240 for the ( Read more... ) -

I'm home alone with two grouchy, uncooperative children. Lucky me. We all had a great time this weekend and I think the kids are worn out now - they stayed up too late most nights and have been left to their own devices for too long. I don't have the energy to herd them out of the house and make them do anything, either ( Read more... ) -

I have been reminded by several people to put on sunscreen. Maybe today will be the day I actually do it before spending significant time in the sun. I'm tempted to get some tank tops to show off my ridiculous farmer tan, though ( Read more... )
