Dear Da~ I just want to tell you I love you and have a very happy birthday tomorrow. I know I’m doing this a little early, but between Hubby being gone (and subsequently being a newly single parent), working full time, and getting ready for your birthday, Thanksgiving and Christmas, I know I would have [...]
Munchkin is back from his trick or treating. This is the first year I haven’t gone with him. He’s growing up (11 years old!!) and he went with his friend in another neighborhood. He went as Dan from Bakugan. No you can’t buy this costume anywhere. I got to build it myself. Yay! So I’m [...]
I’ve taken a vacation day for the first time in over a year. I stayed home with my sick Munchkin (just a head cold, thank the gods). I lazed around the house, made sure Munchkin did his studying and makeup work, caught up on my TiVo shows and futzed around here on the internet. And [...]
Hallowe’en is right around the corner. I am taking my first vacation in over a year for the next three days and the first day will be taken up with building the Munchkins costume. Two years in a row he has chosen a costume you can’t readily find at a store. Last year it was [...]
I’m trying to be strong, especially for the Munchkin. But I have to confess… I’m heartbroken. Seeing the Munchkin so sad. Watching the dogs mope around, looking for their master. It all may end up being too much for me. I’ve broken down twice, just for a moment or two. Then I notice the Munchkin [...]
Well, physically anyway. He’s not divorcing me, we’re not trial separating, but he is going away. My hubby is becoming a sailor. He’s going to boot camp for 9 weeks, then school for 6 weeks. Leaving me here with the Munchkin, 2 crazy dogs, a rabid rabbit and a Japanese fighter fish. Not to mention [...]
Well, they aren’t people I actually roll with. Just people who’s blogs I read pretty much daily. I’d like to get to know them. They seem pretty cool. Crazy and wacky, but cool. The type of people who would do anything to bolster your spirits, but don’t have a problem with telling you to quit [...]
Ever wonder where a bout of self-consciousnes and low self-esteem may com from? Think about the messages we receive daily from those we love and who love us. Those messages which are meant to “guide us” to betterment. I received one such message yesterday afternoon from none other than my own father. “That’s a nice [...]
The past thirty days have been a roller coaster of old friends and memories. I thought when I first moved back “home” four years ago after twelve years away, joining and working for my high school alumni society for two years, I would reconnect with all my old friends. I helped the class president contact [...]
I’ve been really tired lately and most of it is self-induced. I “discovered” Facebook about a month ago. Now, when I say I “discovered” Facebook, it does not mean I did not know it existed until a month ago (if that were the case it would be quite a large and distant rock I had [...]
