Happy Birthday, Gracie!
Filed in Musings, May 18, 2008, 10:19 pmYes, I’m going to be cliche and exclaim, “Where the fuck did the last seven years go?!” We could also ask about the last nine (Iain’s age in a little over a week) or 15 (yes, 15 years married). But yeah, where is it, y’all?
I’ve come to the conclusion that I did not, in fact, [...]
The flu? What the hell?
Filed in Musings, May 16, 2008, 10:16 pmYes, I have the flu. At least I’m pretty sure I do. I ache like crazy, am hot and cold and my appetite is meh. Jeff came home early from work and took over this afternoon. I managed to take Iz to preschool registration but by the time we got home, I had to drive [...]
Let this not be an omen
Filed in Musings, May 15, 2008, 11:02 pmLet me begin by stating that I understand it’s stressful to be a landlord. Let me state that I understand lease provisions that protect the property owner. Let me add that I realize after a bad experience one tends to be more cautious.
However . . .
I hope this doesn’t mean that we will bear the [...]
Now, where did I leave the tape?
Filed in Musings, May 13, 2008, 10:44 pmWe went to meet the woman who owns the house (and who I think is her husband) and let her check us out. Apparently we cut the mustard because the Realtor called shortly after we left and it seems we’ll be getting the keys on June 1st. What’s nice is that there’s a possibility we [...]
America’s Next Top Renters
Filed in Musings, May 12, 2008, 8:37 pmTomorrow we meet with the landlord to get the once-over to see if she likes us. I guess we’re auditioning for the home and while I understand she wants to make sure she gets a good vibe, I still am not looking forward to it. I guess she’s nervous about the wear-and-tear on the carpet [...]
Rest In Peace Irena Sendler
Filed in Musings, , 1:27 pmBack some time ago I saw the story of Irena Sendler on The Today Show. Her story touched me so much that I wrote her name on my kitchen white board, fully intending on looking her up when I got a chance. Months went by but her name remained until one day last month I [...]
Kind of a busy week
Filed in Musings, May 11, 2008, 11:19 pmThis week has been a busy one. Jeff’s hours have picked up so it’s been all me all the time. I’m not complaining in the least, though. Extra hours mean extra money in the bank to offset the weeks when OT is scarce.
Wednesday Izzie’s class had an adorable Mother’s Day party for the moms. Nothing [...]
Madame Buttoner
Filed in Musings, May 5, 2008, 11:14 pmToday is a very special day in our household. This morning my youngest child became a buttoner. Oh yes, she buttoned her sweater all by herself and she was damn proud. She insisted on high-fives until they hurt. Of course it was a play hurt but that girl wanted to plant some palm.
Our first day [...]
Lazy Sunday
Filed in Musings, May 4, 2008, 11:07 pmNothing of note was found in the classified section today in the local paper. I called on a home this morning but it’s a home we nixed a couple weeks ago. I wish I had realized it before I threw clothes on the kids and loaded them in the car but not a big deal.
The [...]
Don’t kill me, dear Kelly
Filed in Musings, , 12:50 amI know. I was horrible about posting last month. By the time I got five minutes of quiet time to myself, I was usually too tired to write anything at all. Too much has happened for me to catch up on so I’ll have to wipe April clean and move on. It will be like [...]
