This gets old
Filed in Musings, May 27, 2008, 1:23 pmToday is another one of those days where I’ve spent much of it having a mini-panic attack. I don’t know if there’s actually a diagnostic term for something like that but that’s as best as I can describe it. Either way, it has paralyzed me for most of the morning and it’s getting old. Really [...]
I hate this feeling
Filed in Musings, May 19, 2008, 1:52 pmToday 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, [...]
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, [...]
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 [...]
Borrowing from Colbert
Filed in Musings, March 18, 2008, 11:59 pmIn my quest to be entirely unoriginal, I thought I’d steal the concept of “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” ala Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. From time to time I roll my eyes or get truly irritated and fed up with things. (Okay, who are we kidding? I do this the bulk of [...]
Things I’m thinking about
Filed in Musings, March 10, 2008, 11:00 pmMy mind, not surprisingly, is rather full of squirly energy lately and there’s so much swimming around in there I thought I’d share with y’all (like that bit of Southern flavor?). What do you say? Are you up to it? Aww, come on; don’t be a chicken.
The house I was hoping wouldn’t rent before we [...]
The little things
Filed in Musings, March 7, 2008, 11:23 amWhen you have a school-aged child who has social challenges like autism, you worry that they are going to become that sore thumb in class that everyone notices as really different. You don’t get to see them during the school day so you worry if kids are teasing more than they might normally (unfortunately we [...]
Yeah, yeah
Filed in Musings, February 14, 2008, 10:58 pmDid you think you lost me? I didn’t end up blogging yesterday because I plain didn’t feel like it. I was locked out of the house for most of the day so by the time I got back in I wasn’t really in the mood to reflect or shit like that. By the time I [...]
Another nothing kinda ordinary day
Filed in Musings, February 12, 2008, 11:54 pmI suspect you can tell by the title that it was a pretty average day today. Well, outside of the fact that Iz spent much of it sleeping. She’s fighting a cold and by the time we got back from dropping the kids off at school this morning, she was already at her wit’s end. [...]
Shut the freakin’ door! It’s cold out there!
Filed in Musings, February 11, 2008, 9:17 pmIt 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 [...]
