Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Yes, 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, [...]

Kind of a busy week

This 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 [...]

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 [...]

Shut the freakin’ door! It’s cold out there!

It was one of the coldest days I’ve seen in quite awhile today. We were going in full gear from head to toe, reminiscent of little Randy Parker on A Christmas Story. Given that I have a narrow range of comfort, I am longing for the weather to turn to 72 degree days with no [...]

I’m bored

I really am. When I’m bored I get up to no good so I decided to blog instead. Of course, that can lead to no good too so apparently there’s no stopping my evil.
Did a little packing today while watching old movies and taking care of Iain. He had a fever and I know he [...]

Stone cold killing and other Thanksgiving cheer!

Yes, I did it again — I ran over a squirrel. This time two were chasing after each other and as I was rolling up, the one in the lead picked up the pace and, like the poor critter a couple of weeks ago, the one following decided to cut back and return to the [...]

Lazy Sunday

I didn’t do much of anything today and that was fine by me. I’ve been so tired that it was a welcome change to just veg. Well, I sort of veg’d. The girls stayed at the in-laws’ last night and got to bed way too late. As a result I spent much of the day [...]

Time for a break

Every six weeks or so my mother and I go out to lunch and then get our hair cut and colored. I’m happy to report that even after spending more time together this week than we have since I moved out 14 years ago (well, when I moved out for good when I got married [...]

The Great Purge – Day 5

I’m done cleaning out Iain’s room minus some furniture and items my mom will keep that will be removed from the room. Tomorrow Jeff is staying home with the kids and doing some fun things with them and then the girls are staying the night at my in-laws’. My mom and I are doing lunch [...]

Father-in-law to the rescue!

Last Wednesday I wasn’t sure if Gracie’s morning violin class ended that day or if she had another week left so I told my father-in-law that we might not need him anymore this year. He said that he’d come anyway to walk the kids to school but since we hadn’t talked about it since, it [...]
