Camping slideshow.
Before making the mistake of mentioning it in front of the kids, Dan and I discussed camping out in the pop-up (pup) and he was willing. I didn’t have to cajole for once. Amazing.
I wanted to try it out before we actually attempted camping in public. Wanted to get a feel for what we can [...]

Neighbors
I don’t like neighbors. I like privacy. I don’t like noise and I don’t like that I don’t have control over that aspect of my life. I would like to have a house in the middle of 50 acres, all fenced in and wooded. Not wooded right next to the house, but all around so [...]

Mother’s Day 2009
Happy Mother’s Day (a day late). I meant to write yesterday, but yesterday sucked. Well, the first part did anyway. The evening was pretty nice. I found out this morning why I was throwing myself such a pity party yesterday. What a wreck. Oh well, it passed as usual.
Dan had to work until 4:00. In [...]

Bullhead Fishing
Dan and I took the girls bullhead fishing last night.
Ashley caught her first bullhead and then caught several more before we had to leave. She was quite bummed, but it was pitch dark and a school night.
Morgan didn’t want to fish, but was content picking snail and clam shells along the shore.
I was content too [...]

Happy Birthday Nina
It is my niece Nina’s birthday today. I was six when she was born. A little weird being an aunt at six. Hard to believe that that little devil is knocking on 30’s door, married with kids. Crazy I tell ya.
I was trying to find a photo of her to post, but I don’t have [...]

A Movie & A Meltdown (or Two)
Like I haven’t bitched about spring break enough already.
Because it was officially spring break, I emailed Dan awhile back to see if he wanted to do anything with the kids while they were on vacation. I gave him three simple options – A, B or C. All options within driving distance of home. He never [...]

Easter
About Easter.
I had been dreading Easter for over a week.
Back before Christmas, I let my MIL have it with both barrels. 17 years of pent up resentment spewed forth for over an hour. Needless to say, I avoided her like the plague after that. Dan was not pleased that I spoke my mind, although the [...]

Daisy Trip
Dan, Ashley, Morgan and I went to the VT Teddy Bear Factory today. It was a group trip for the Daisy girl scout troop. The factory is about an hour away from where we live.
We all had a great time. I prefer the daisies to the brownies for a bunch of reasons. One being [...]

Painting, Projects & Parenting
I still need to write about Easter Sunday and Monday. Don’t know when.
I would like to post more, but I’m actually swamped with work at work and at home. My boss showed up at 9:30 a.m. yesterday and almost gave me a heart attack. He never gets there before 10:30 a.m. Clients all day long [...]
