My good and patient friend Jennifer invites me to a lot of things. I usually have a ton of excuses (usually the stress of handling the children on my own or the expense of such and such) as to why it’s not feasible at that particular time.
She hasn’t given up on me and we managed [...]

Another Kindergarten Grad
My baby girl graduated from kindergarten this morning. I won’t bore you with the details, I’ll just show you the photos. They aren’t the best, but at least I got a few. So much for their seating chart – HA!

The Talk
I just finished catching up on all my DVRed shows. The DVR is set to record certain shows every week or every day. For instance, Oprah. I truly love that show when it is good. That’s the nice thing about DVR. I can just fast forward through all the crap or erase a show that [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Birthday Party & A Walk
Morgan had a classmate’s birthday party to attend today. Dan wouldn’t switch his schedule, so I had to bring Ashley. I decided to take advantage of the situation and make it a “special” day for Ashley.
The party was held in a room adjacent to a local restaurant/deli. Ashley and I had lunch together. I also [...]

Tired & Unmotivated
My house is a disaster. I just want everything put back in its place. I’m pretty sure Dan thinks I should be doing all of that while he’s at work. Well I’d rather go to work than do that job. I need to renegotiate this contract I entered into 9.5 years ago.
Dan just painted the [...]

Spontaneity
They say spontaneity can be a good thing. Tell that to a control freak.
Tuesday started out normal. Kids went to school. Dan and I went to work. I did some errands after work and then came home. The kids got home. Got them snacks. I called Rebecca back. Talked until Dan got home. Got on [...]
