A Little Excitement

September 24, 2005 | 8 Comments

We had a little excitement in our small community the other day. The kind of excitement any parent does not want to have in their town. Early in the week a young girl in the 6th grade at my children’s school arrived in the morning and went straight to the principals office to report that […]

The Amazing World of Cats

September 21, 2005 | 5 Comments

I don’t know which feat I stand more in awe of:
That my cat can actually take down one of those nasty, chattery squirrels
OR
That once he kills them he only eats the head and leaves the rest on my doorstep in stiffened horror
I think I better be keeping his food dish VERY full *gulp*

Things Are Looking Up

September 19, 2005 | 3 Comments

Well I survived yesterday. There were only a few comments and except for one WTF? I remained pretty well intact. To give you an idea what she’s like Jeff’s Mom dropped off an old coffee table to us yesterday. We don’t really need it but it’s been in Jeff’s family since before he was born […]

On Edge

September 18, 2005 | 3 Comments

I am so tense today I just might jump right out of my skin. My Mom and Dad are due to arrive any minute and I have been racing around all morning like a mad woman trying to clean the house so as to remove anything that might cause my mother to make one of […]

Lots Going On

September 17, 2005 | 1 Comment

What a crazy week it’s been. A new child started for daycare this week and oh what a sweet little boy he is. He’s 14 months old and cute as can be and just a whirlwind of activity. He is only coming part time a couple days a week right now so that he can […]

Your Leo Drinking Style

You love to drink and dance — you’re likely a fabulous dancer.
You’re usually pretty a good drinker as well, losing your commanding dignity and turning kittenish.
Of course, you’re quite aware you’re darling — Leos will be Leos, after all.
You generally know your limit, probably because you loathe losing self-control.
When you get over-refreshed, […]

My Kind of Fundraiser

September 12, 2005 | Comments Off

A friend of mine emailed me today and let me know about a (legitimate) Katrina Fundraiser. Fans of President Bush (if there are any of you left out there) probably don’t need to bother clicking the first link.
The Dear President Bush Shirt Fundraiser is:

I have an interview this morning for daycare. Wish me luck!!
I’m going to post a bunch of flyers this afternoon and get this transition going ASAP. Lots to do but it’s so exciting to finally feel like I’m taking charge of things.
UPDATE: They start Wednesday!! They were here for an hour and a half and […]

A Bit Better

September 11, 2005 | 3 Comments

I’m feeling a bit better today, more positive. It’s amazing what playing some funky music, cleaning up the house and playing with the family can do for the spirits.
When I was de-cluttering I found a Nerf football and took it outside to where the hubs was cleaning out the garage and yelled “Go long!!” He […]

Quiet

September 10, 2005 | 4 Comments

I’ve been feeling restless but quiet lately. I have all kinds of thoughts and issues rumbling around in my head but seem to have lost my voice. I feel repetitive and whiny and I’m sick of feeling negative. I know there’s happiness to be had but why can’t I ever seem to recognize it. I […]
