Black Friday

November 24, 2006 | 2 Comments

So who braved the stores today? Not me. You won’t catch me at those stores with all those crazy people (are you one of them? I don’t mean to offend…lol). We went to my mil’s house and had Thanksgiving dinner number 2. It was a little tense for a while. The turkey wouldn’t cook. Note […]

Turkey Day

November 23, 2006 | 2 Comments

I hope all my American blog buds had a good Thanksgiving. Ours was nice - lots of driving but good food and better company. Most of all took the time to be thankful for the things I DO have for once instead of focusing on what we don’t. Maybe Thanksgiving is a better time for […]

Well we obviously have our internet service back. It was just a matter of calling Comcast continually until I got someone that knew what SHE was doing. It was 10 minutes well spent on the phone with her and we were up and running.
The girls and I had a quiet day. I worked out, picked […]

I may not post much this weekend because of this and this and this. So much for NaBloPoMo. Oh well, it will give me more time with my girls Time they need. Have a good weekend!

A letter to my dear husband:

November 16, 2006 | 3 Comments

I understand that you get out of work at 2:30pm. Please understand that I work until 5pm. It is not appropriate for me to receive calls on my cell phone during my last 2 hours of work, the time my boss is in the office every afternoon, where you grill me on how to fix […]

Funk

November 15, 2006 | Comments Off

I’m in a funk this afternoon.

The tooth fairy forgot to stop by my daughter’s pillow last night. Stupid, absentminded tooth fairy.
We’re broke and my husband has no desire to commit to any of my ideas for ways we can get out of our current destitute situation. And he has no ideas to offer of his […]

Advice?

November 14, 2006 | 3 Comments

What do you do when it seems like everything you say and do is wrong? It’s been one of those days. Mostly only at home though. It’s like my husband wants to start a fight with me. *sigh*
So instead of dwelling on it I’ll share one of my favorite photos - my daughter Lauren:

Pain, Cleaning and Money - Or - The Many Joys of My Life (Not)

November 13, 2006 | 2 Comments

The fog of pain lifted last night around 5pm. Just in time for my husband to call and say that weather had cut their hunting trip short and they were coming home Monday (today!). Fade out on the look of horror on my face when considering the state of cleanliness (or lack thereof) that the […]

Another Wasted Weekend

November 12, 2006 | 1 Comment

I have spent most of the last 2 days in pain. Enough so that I don’t want to do anything or go anywhere. I just want to lie in bed under the covers. Of course I’m home alone with the 3 girls this weekend and I can’t do a thing. I can barely move. I’m […]

You Do All That?

November 10, 2006 | 1 Comment

My husband left today for hunting camp. He took my son, they’re meeting my brother-in-law and they’ll be gone for four or five days. At first I was giddy with the idea of being on light duty around the house. Let’s face it. The boys make a lot of mess. I enjoy the break.
Then it […]

Half Days

Democrats have gained control of the Senate now too. Now that the excitement of yesterday has worn off I only have one thing left to say about this major shift in our Federal government - Ladies and Gentlemen, don’t screw this up. There is a huge opportunity here for change, not immediate change but a […]

One Down, One to Go

The turnout was huge yesterday and the results were even bigger. The Democrats easily won control of the House and are within one hotly contested seat of winning control of the Senate too. Woohoo!!
In my home state, Vermont continued its long standing history of independent thinkers and voters. We put an Independent in the Senate […]

Election Day

November 7, 2006 | 5 Comments

Today I have to ask each and every one of my American readers, if you are registered to vote then please do so. It’s not so much about your right to complain - you know the whole thing about how you have no right to complain if you don’t vote. It’s something even more powerful […]

Keeping Work & Home Separate

November 6, 2006 | 1 Comment

I’m feeling very insecure at work today. I’m not sure exactly why – I can’t cite anything tangible really, but I feel like things are off. My boss is doing some small tasks on his own that he has asked me to do prior. He also has asked other assistants to do some small tasks […]
