Aunt Ruth

You never expect that you won’t see someone you love again.  And once they’re gone you wish you’d told them how much you love them while they were here. You’d think I would have learned that lesson when Dad died unexpectedly.  But no.  I missed Ruth and Len’s 50th Anniversary party this summer because it was [...]

Sanity – it’s right around the corner

Happy Holidays!  We made it through Christmas ok.  Grand Rapids on the 24th, Toledo on the 25th.  Hell to pay for screwing up the babies’ schedules on the 26th.  There was no daycare on the 26th and we had to work (Matt just until noon), so Mom got stuck with both babies until lunchtime.  The [...]

Is it Friday yet?

Seriously, this is wrong on so many levels.
Also, found this piece on why the fair tax is a bad idea. Just thought it was intersting and had to share. 
I finally lost it last night.
I haven’t seen the top of the dining room table in months.  There isn’t a flat surface in the house that isn’t [...]

Phooey, Part 2!

What a bunch of sickos!  While I was sleeping this afternoon, Matt came home early from work. He’d gone to the doctor and he’s got a sinus infection.  We’re hoping Mom stays healthy and the kids don’t come down with anything.  We don’t need that.  We’ll probably spend the weekend trying to keep our cooties [...]

Phooey!

If it isn’t one thing, it’s another. I’ve been feeling crappy all week and had a sore throat.  I thought it was just a sore throat and would get better, but it got worse. I went to the urgent care place this morning and it’s strep throat.  Swell.  Let’s hope no one else here comes [...]

I can’t think of a title for this one.

Another week half gone!  The days all seem to run into each other. 
Monday I had off (I work Tuesday – Friday, 7am to 6pm), so Mom and I got our hairs cut, had lunch out, & did the grocery shopping.  It was Sam’s first day at daycare (and yippee! she didn’t get kicked out for [...]

Quick, write! They’re sleeping!

So, how much can I write before someone starts to howl?
Jessie’s first week of daycare went swell.  Sam goes next week, and Nan gets to babysit Jessie for the week.  Or Jessie gets to babysit Nan; not sure how that works.
All week I thought of a whole bunch of stuff to post, but not that [...]

So this is what having one is like!

Jessie went off to daycare this morning.  My baby! All grown up and leaving the nest!!!
Jessie slept until about 4am this morning, and Sam slept until Matt got her up at 6am when his alarm went off.  Yippee!! That’s about as big a milestone as going off to daycare. 
We managed to gather all the crap [...]
