Changes - Not For The Better

April 30, 2005 | 7 Comments

I was really upset earlier tonight but I tried hard not to take it out on anybody. I wasn’t very successful, my kids got snapped at and my husband got the “quiet wife” conversation when he called from camp tonight. I always feel awful for being short of patience with the kids - but it […]

I’m Disappearing - Again

April 25, 2005 | 4 Comments

Okay guys - it’s the last week of the month and because of work I’ll be disappearing again until May. Why oh why do I leave all of this to the last minute? Because I am the classic procrastinator. I even started a post about procrastination - but I never finished it.
So I […]

Huh?

April 22, 2005 | 4 Comments

Hubs has been working super hard on a side project for his boss this week. It’s been grueling work and he’s exhausted but the carrot has been dangling in front of his face. A $500 bonus for on-time completion with yesterday as the deadline. Well, he made it and received his bonus in cash.
Now it’s […]

Sunday, Sunday

Thank you Genuine for reminding me about that section of the marriage by-laws that I usually choose to ignore. I tend to skip right to the next part
Hubs apparently became aware of my displeasure with his behavior rather quickly as everything changed to “sweetie” and “Jules honey”. I don’t know if my silence […]

A Letter

April 12, 2005 | 7 Comments

Dear Hubs -
I hope it makes you feel better to dump on me tonight. I’m not sure what’s bothering you or what I did, if anything, but this snarky, nasty attitude better come to an end pretty fucking fast.
Here’s a thought - why don’t you talk to me about whatever it is that’s […]

Taking A Break

April 9, 2005 | 4 Comments

Thank you all for your kind words and sympathy. It’s always nice to know someone cares when you feel like you’re suffering. I was very tired the other night and like Michele said I’m just trying to adjust to all of the changes in my life right now. Change is always tough until you get […]

Spent

April 6, 2005 | 7 Comments

I’m sitting here in my favorite blue recliner. My eyes are burning, my fingers ache, I’m exhausted. And yet I work away. It’s never ending. I feel upset, overwhelmed, like I made a mistake. This job is consuming me. With daycare at least I had my life back in the evening when the children went […]

Food Combinations

April 5, 2005 | 6 Comments

I like my food combinations to be normal, typical, standard; whatever you want to call it.

Chips and Dip

French Fries and Vinegar

Tortilla Chips and Salsa

Baked Potato and Sour Cream

Peanut Butter and Jelly

You get the idea.
But then there are certain friends and family that just have more, shall we say, adventurous tastes than I have. Some […]

Was It The Weekend?

April 3, 2005 | 4 Comments

It’s 4pm on Sunday and I swear someone forgot to tell me that it was the weekend. 3 out of the 4 kids are now mostly recovered from the dreaded stomach virus. Nicholas (the last one to get sick) is still running a low grade fever and not eating much of anything. The girls are […]
