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 [...]

Cake Wreck

Posted on March 2nd, 2010 by admin in Adventures, Birthdays, Drugs, Friends, Humor, Pictures!

“All the sweet, green icing flowing down…
Someone left the cake out in the rain
I don’t think that I can take it
‘Cause it took so long to bake it
And I’ll never have that recipe again
Oh, no! “
So here’s the deal…
Matt and I had a few drinks. Matt and I took some promethazine (his medicine; I’ve taken [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Little Boys and Trash

Posted on February 10th, 2010 by admin in Family, Life, kids

Tell me…
…why are little boys so interested in trash? I never had this problem with my girls. I was sick earlier tonight, and sitting in the bathroom, and to make me feel better, James brings me a used coffee filter. The grounds to it were trailed through the living room and my bedroom, straight from [...]
