Dadness

Posted on March 10th, 2010 by admin in Family, Humor, kids

Probably out of hearing Dennis and I do it, Chloe has started calling my father-in-law (her grandfather), “Dad”. It’s embarrassing when we go out because he’s 73 and she calls me “momma” and, well, I get the “gold-digger” looks from strangers. Not that what they think matters, unless one of them is a social worker. [...]

Spring Is In The Air

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 by admin in Adventures, Depression, Family, Friends, Life

I got almost everything done this afternoon. I say almost because I’m waiting on doing the dishes until later tonight. The warm weather and the fact that I feel much better are reasons why I got most of my stuff done today. I know cleaning house and taking care of kids all while [...]

Deeper

Posted on February 22nd, 2010 by admin in Depression, Family, Life, Married Life, Relationships

The sadness won’t go away. I feel isolated and trapped. I tried to reach out to several friends today, and the only one who didn’t flat out ignore me picked a fight with me and we had a falling out.
*sigh*
When did it get so complicated? Why is it so complicated? I know I am blessed, [...]

I’m A Mess

Posted on February 21st, 2010 by admin in Depression, Family, Illness, Life

Thank you all for the well wishes.
I wish I could say that I’m better and ready to get to class on Monday, new lab book in hand, but I’m still not well. I’m nauseated and groggy. I have heart burn and my back hurts. I’m really falling apart, huh?
I’m going to medicate and [...]

I’ll Be Waiting

Posted on February 19th, 2010 by admin in Depression, Family, Life

It happened. It wasn’t glorious, it wasn’t overly dramatic. I just stood there and let it happen. It’s not as if I didn’t know this was coming, I knew. I knew well. It was more that I was expecting myself to react differently. I was expecting to cry, to be overwhelmed with feelings of dread [...]

I’ll Wait Endlessly

Posted on February 18th, 2010 by admin in Adventures, Depression, Family, Life, Married Life

Tomorrow morning my husband will be getting on a plane and going clear across the world for his career. We do need the money, but I wish there was a better way. I wish I could say that I made his last few days with the family a memorable one, but I simply pushed him [...]

I Learned Nothing!

I bought another set of sheets today. Hmm. Maybe the hives were just a coincidence? >:)

Data Fail

Posted on February 11th, 2010 by admin in Adventures, Family, Life, technology

When my husband gave me his guitarist’s old laptop (ok–it’s a year old MacBook Pro, still with warranty), he transferred all my iTunes files over to it, then my iPhoto files, and set it up for me. I was wooed. I was even more surprised to see that I had some extra space. Over three [...]
