Head cold is fully developed. Real Sudafed didn’t work. Trying Claritin D generic. So basically I have a bad cold that’s not bad enough to call in sick to work but just right to give me a miserable Thursday.
Yet, there have been some moments of coolness today that I can only describe as the mercy [...]

Ooh that smell!
I’m totally ripping off Pete Wilson’s post about confessing your weirdest smell fetish. I’m expanding mine to prompt the moms out there to confess the super nose you had during pregnancy. Everybody join in! What weird smells do you like? What weird smells did you crave during pregnancy? Here are mine…
I like skunk, bleach, a [...]

Bits of randomness
I thought I’d gotten all the groceries last week at $293. How did “I just need to pick up a few things (the perishables) turn into $73?
Upon reviewing JDs kindergarten daily papers, I tell him “hey you’re getting pretty good at your printing.” “You mean on the computer?” he replies. No son, writing with a [...]

What’s in your closet?
My 7 yr old daughter decided to take nearly everything out of her closet including two diaper case boxes of shoes sizes 7 and under. I had no idea we had that many pairs of shoes just sitting around–at least 20 pairs–barely worn. I know I had planned to sort through things and donate or [...]

What’s the F?
I put up my outdoor Christmas lights tonight. That’s Doug’s job. But not this year. No biggie? I got up on a 7 ft aluminum ladder, the last hour in a snow storm. I tested them first, figured out how to clip them to my gutter, fell against the side of the house once [...]

Bedtime wind down
Arthritis and other pain pretty bad tonight. Too late to take an Advil PM. I’ll be a zombie for 14 hours. Now see, if I had a good prescription pain reliever, I’d only be out 4 hrs at a time and I’d be functional in the morning. Time to get the chiropractor and pain specialist [...]

The wor(l)d according to me
Its been WAY too long since I posted here. Like many of you, I have become addicted to Twitter. And because we’ve been so busy around here recovering Doug, I haven’t had a chance to sit and think about anything meaningful to say. Well, a couple things come to mind here and there so I’m [...]

Odd string of events
The last 4 days have brought lots of swirling into our lives. Doug had emergency surgery to repair a hernia. I was escorted to the same ICU waiting room that a friend sat in while her husband clung to life and later lost it. My sister informed me of the awful and accidental death of [...]

Not So Famous Quotes
Instead of quoting famous people and going “hmm”, I thought I’d quote (anonymously) some of my friends who are not famous but terribly wise…
“My children demand good parenting”
“I can stand on top of the coffee table and dance around in high heels if I want. Can you? No! Because you’re the child. Can I? Yes! [...]

Another snuggly day
Its a little rainy and overcast today. JD is not feeling well at all: sore throat, sore mouth and tongue. Could it be another virus caused by touching and licking everything in sight? I think we’ll keep him home today.
I let the kids’ teachers know that we would be putting Goofy to sleep this evening [...]
