For Kelly

[This was written about, oh, two weeks ago? I started writing it and then fell dead asleep in the chair. -A]
It has been what, a million years since I’ve posted? Yes, yes. It’s been a million years and there’s so much to catch up on. In fact, now that I’ve checked, I see that it’s [...]

I hate this feeling

Today is one of those days where I alternately feel like crying just a tiny bit or uncomfortable anxiousness. This morning I was feeling mushy and now, probably partially due to the coffee I’ve consumed, I feel incredibly anxious.
There are times when I start to feel so unorganized, both in the environmental and cognitive sense, [...]

She’ll be your girl for all seasons

Yesterday was something. It’s a few days past the first day of Spring and what happened? We got about 7″ of snow. Gotta love a white Easter! I’m pretty sure it’s not the first time this has happened in Michigan and Easter is early this year so I’m not surprised, actually. Weather can be dicey [...]

Another nothing kinda ordinary day

The boy and other things

Yesterday was Iain’s first mainstreamed (for lack of a better term) gymnastics class and he seems to like it so far. I think he’s just so damned proud of himself moving up a level like his sisters do. Jeff said the coach remarked that he was great because he wasn’t being chatty and was following [...]

Mold, coffee and a day of rest

I’m more than glad to have had today as a day of rest. No, Tuesdays aren’t usually known for that but I decided since I had to take Iz to gymnastics this morning and Gracie to gymnastics in the afternoon, I wasn’t going to head to the other house today. It would be too hard [...]

Part B moments and waterproofing

This last tussle between me and my mother hit Part B today when she called me as I was driving home from Izzie’s gymnastics class. She asked if I had heard from the insurance adjuster and at that point I had not so I told her I’d call them when I got home and then [...]

Progress . . . sort of

If you’re from a traditional, old-world family you’re familiar with the unwritten rule of family called the “we get very pissed and then pretend it never happened five minutes later” rule. Many of you probably associate this behavior with the Italians or perhaps those of Latin descent but rest assured this is also a Hungarian [...]
