ugh. We have been so busy that I haven't had the energy to sit down and journal. I've written about a dozen in my head, though. Anyway. After many many problems (more on that another time), it looks as if we just MIGHT be able to close on our new house Friday. This would mean we could move Saturday as originally planned. Please pray (or ( Read more... )

Well, Jack has been stuttering so badly. My dear dear friend who is also a Speech Path, says she feels it's time to consult a "fluency specialist". Apparently not all speech paths are comfortable with stuttering. Considering the problems Sahara has had with speech issues, I guess I'm not suprised that this has occured now. I have to get J in for ( Read more... )

I had to do it....the one's from Iowa and New Jersey sucked.
You Know You're From Texas If

1. You measure distance in hours. so true
2. You've ever had to switch from "heat" to "A/C" in the same day.
3. Stores don't have bags; they have sacks.4. Stores don't have shopping carts; they have buggies. this one's a little too redneck for me ( Read more... )

I am typing, but really I am asleep. Ugh. Moving Co. rep comes between 11-12 to quote me a small fortune to move. Babysitter comes at noon. Work last night almost bearable. Worked on finishing up a telemetry exam I have to pass in order to keep working in the ED. Basically, it's a bunch of cardiac monitor strips we are supposed to interpret ( Read more... )

question...i have joined another LJ community ("nursing"). am i correct in understanding that because i use the "web interface" and not the "downloadable client" that there is no real way to cross-post from this journal to the nursing community journal? i see that acoberst has crossposted to "booktards" a couple of times. it would be nice to use ( Read more... )

Well, I've been reading everyone else's journals for a few weeks and haven't had the time to update myself. Very busy here getting ready to move. I was having packing-related-anxiety last week, but I'm over it now. I've decided just to pack everything and if it's something someone needs they will have to deal with it. I don't have the time to ( Read more... )

We're only on our third day of summer break and the kids are very cranky. I think two days of going to bed at 9pm has taken it's toll. Back to 8pm for us. Tomorrow we are going to the Philadelphia Zoo and taking a friend of Sahara's from school with us. I was going to join a new gym today, but the reality of the cost has set in. It's $150 a ( Read more... )

Hmmm. Sahara wants to go to Robot-building camp at her Montessori school for two weeks in June. It costs $425 for both weeks. Now, Jack will want to go if Sahara is going, so that's $950 FOR CAMP. Ugh. It would be very helpful to me if they went because I'm working a few days in those two weeks, and I could probably get packing done. (yuk). ( Read more... )

UGH. There have been record high temps in San Antonio this past week, but New Jersey can't seem to get out of the 60's with rain. The kids are dying to get into our community pool. This is the last week of school, so hopefully next week will turn for the better. My sister was here over the weekend for a visit with my niece. We had a good time ( Read more... )
