Me Poor Mum
I had to take Mom to the emergency room today. She was walking home from the neighbour’s house and missed her step somehow, twisting her ankle. She walked on home, put it up for a while, and thought it was just a twist, but when she got up to fix lunch, she couldn’t walk on […]
Tired, But Happy
It won’t be long now. We’re almost back in the house. We unloaded the POD this weekend. 14 hours of work on Saturday, and 8 on Sunday. A lot of stuff went to the storage building nearby. It’s still paid-for storage, but instead of paying $200 for the POD every month, plus the $65 for […]
Green-Eyed Monster Attack
I’m very happy for something that has come up for my ex, but I’m also struggling with just a bit of jealousy. Which makes me feel awful. How can I be jealous and begrudge the fact that something has finally gone right for him? Here’s the deal. When we moved to this city in early […]
The Beginning of the End
Our little remodeling adventure is almost over. The linoleum will be laid in the kitchen this week, and the final painting and appliance installations will be done. The POD is already resting in the front yard, ready for unloading. The last few items of furniture to be refinished are in the garage, ready to be […]
Working Today
Yeah, I know, it’s Saturday. But an editing client of mine needs her manuscript marked and back in the typesetter’s hands ASAP. So I’m editing. What’s nice is, I researched some tips for our favourite family video-game (River King: A Wonderful Journey, by Natsume), so I can sit with the kids in the den and […]
Are We a SITKOM Family?
If SINKs are single-income, no kids families, and DINKS are dual-income, no kids families, then does that make my family a SITKOM? (single income, two kids, one mom) It would explain a lot.
TGTF!
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I’ve been running back and forth between two desks all week, and I am SO tired. Still no replacement for the co-worker, which is only to be expected. Tomorrow will be two weeks since she left. Kind of hard to make a good hire for a key position in only […]
Can’t Wait for Friday!
It’s only Wednesday, and I have only today and tomorrow and then I’m off for a three-day weekend. Thank goodness! I am ZONKED! It’s been a really tough week at the office, because my friend and coworker turned in her notice last Friday, and they had her clean out her desk and go on. She’s […]
What a Wacky Weekend
Last weekend was SO weird. My mom and I sold curriculum at the local homeschool fair, which we’ve done every year for six or seven years now. We usually have an easy time, talking, selling, explaining, and meeting people. This year, though, we kept having bad scares. Scare One: We had our first shoplifting incident. […]
Getting Back to Routine
Sort of. After working a two-day week last week, I will be working a four-day week this week. (At my regular job, that is.) Of course, I was busy on my off days last week, attending the conference. This Friday and Saturday, I will be at a homeschool conference demonstrating curriculum. So it’ll be work […]
