Here's the back story:  Billy's nephew Austin (13) has been staying with us for the last couple weeks.  He's a good kid.  But he and BIlly have been playing Commando with the living room TV and playing XBox all the time.  Kristin will just hole up in her bedroom and watch TV there.  Me?  I have no where to watch TV so I've been in my room reading ( Read more... )

Yes.  I am now a year older.  Yes.  I am not happy about it.  Yes.  I am wollowing in my own self pity.  Deal with it.

I walked in, put down my purse and took my cup o'caffiene into his office.

"George, I need to talk to you.  I've decided to go to school full time.  And I'm moving 150 ( Read more... )

Something's got to go wrong... I'm getting incredibly nervous!!  Nothing ever goes this smoothly or easily for me!  I've just received an email telling me that I've been approved for a $14k loan!!

Kevin called me before work last night, and he just didn't sound ok.  He said he wasn't feeling good at all and had just been laying down all afternoon and evening.  It was a 2 minute phone call, which isn't usual for us...  Of course, the Cancer in me started worrying.
