Almost There….
Basketball season, for my kids’ teams, will end on Saturday. I’m glad. They decided halfway through the season that they really didn’t care for basketball, after all, and it’s been tough to motivate them when their teams are losing games. Last night, my younger son was angry because one of the boys on his team […]
Whew! What a Weekend!
I have muscles I didn’t know I had. All over my body. I can tell you every joint and every bone in my body. I am sore! And tired. My muscles keep randomly going into spasm. Even my eyelid muscles randomly decide to spend a few minutes jerking about. We carried and packed and walked […]
Looking Forward to the Weekend
Gad, what a week! I’m working my tuchis off at the office, going to Mom’s to get the kids and eat dinner, and then going home and packing until 11 or later. Except Tuesday. I was so exhausted Tuesday that I went to bed at 10. So far, the only rooms that are completely packed […]
The Kids Are Home
They went to Reelfoot Lake with their father to watch the eagles. They had a great time, and are full of stories …. though I heard more about the dead beaver than I did about the bald eagles. I’m not sure how my older son is handling this crazy week. Both of them are excited […]
The Game’s Afoot!
We’re doing it! I have exactly one week to pack up everything in my house and move it into storage so that the workers can come in and begin the sprucing-up process. Can’t do everything I want to do yet …. I have only $18K to work with. So we prioritized my projects and we’re […]
If This Is Global Warming…
bring it on!!! Every morning since Monday, we walk out the front door into a snow flurry. It’s beautiful, but the snow doesn’t stick. It’s gone by ten or so. We don’t usually get this kind of thing here. We’re in the South, after all, and it’s very unusual for us to even get snow. […]
Valentine’s Day Sux
Even when I was married, it sucked. In fact, to find a non-sucky V-day, I have to remember back to when I was about four. My mom always made V-day special at home, with cards, candy from the “fancy” candy store, a special dinner, etc. She still does, and the part of V-day that I […]
What a Wild Day!
It was actually almost warm this morning when we left the house. It was raining a little, but it wasn’t bad. It rained off and on all morning, but it was still fairly warm at lunch time — a little cooler than at 8 a.m., but still not cold. They say the high today was […]
Great Day!
Woke up to wintry mix (sleet, snow, frozen rain) falling in the area, so we got a little later start than planned. And the Chick-Fil-A I planned to hit for breakfast was closed for remodeling, so we got donuts (utterly ghastly) instead. But we made it to the mechanic’s by 8:30, and he was done […]
A Long Weekend
This is going to be a great weekend. Since my parents will be out of town celebrating V-day, I took off from work to take care of the kids. We’re going to get up really early and take the car to the mechanic. We have to wait there while the oil change and tune-up are […]
