Settling In
Now that all of the actual moving is over, we’re beginning to settle in at my parents’ house. When I got home from work last night, I told the kids to grab their bikes and we went for a walk/ride (me walking, them riding) around the “block.” My parents live in a neighbourhood where there […]
Made It!
We had a wonderful weekend. The children and I went to PF Chang’s for supper on Friday evening, went home and got ready for bed, read a chapter in our Dr. Doolittle book, and were tucked in with the lights out right at 9 p.m. We didn’t wake up until 7:45 on Saturday morning, just […]
TGIF! I’m Exhausted!
The two weeks of getting to bed at 11 p.m. or later (and getting up at 6) have wiped me out. I’m beat. And of course, today, when I can barely drag myself from one side of my cubicle to the other, my boss gives me a large project that requires careful attention to details […]
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 […]
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 […]
More Mouse Story…
So, I was putting away groceries and cleaning up the pantry this evening, and I came across more “fun” signs that we had a mouse in our house. I moved a box, and saw funny little red shavings on the shelf. Odd! On the top of that shelf, balanced across two tall boxes, was a […]
Follow-up to the mouse story…
I’m way overdue reporting on the mouse situation here at Chez Editormum. We had poison boxes and mousetraps out for about two weeks, and I checked them several times daily. We almost got him the first day I put them out. I put it down in the laundry room, just next the refuse bin, and […]
Nothing Like Making Them Hate You
Well, it didn’t go as well as I’d hoped. LOL! But I remember when I was a kid, how I hated being awakened in the morning. I went in at the normal time this morning and did the normal, “Time to wake up! Get up, get dressed, and make your bed!” Five minutes later, I […]
