Lacking Motivation
I have so many projects to complete this weekend, and here I am, browsing around on Blogit to pass the time. I just can’t get motivated about any of these projects. One of them is even an editing job that’s going to bring in some much-needed cash, but I am just completely uninterested in it. […]
Kids Do the Darndest Things!
I don’t know what it is about Opening Night of a play that brings out the weird in my family. My church’s annual musical revue, a fundraiser for the organ fund, opened tonight. So last night was dress rehearsal. I had planned to take the kids, since this weekend is a visitation one, but then […]
Sometimes, It’s Funny
So my last post related the story of the visitation weekend when my kids had a soccer game and church responsibilities and the ex wanted to take a “day trip” to a town six hours away to meet his brothers, who were in Atlanta and would like to meet him halfway. After a lot of […]
The Fight Goes On…
If it isn’t one thing with my X, it’s another. Right now, there’s tension on two fronts. First is the ongoing battle about the correct amount of child support. He got a new job making double what he used to make, and his lawyer claimed that he only had to pay $20 a month more. […]
I Hate Tattle-tales!
This morning, as I was brushing my hair and getting ready to leave for work, my younger son comes into the bathroom and says, “You know that can of air on your computer? You won’t be able to use it anymore. Because Brother used it all up and it won’t go anymore. It’s empty.” Now, […]
Restful Day
Today was very quiet and restful. I woke up tired and sore, and with a sore throat, so we didn’t go to church. I want to make sure that Lobster Boy is completely free from Scarlet Fever before we get up close and personal with folks again anyway. So we puttered around the house all […]
Motherhood = Worry
My baby boy is sick. I’m worried that it’s something serious. He started complaining of a sore throat on Tuesday, and spent the whole day on the couch, sleeping off and on. That evening, he said his stomach hurt, and he vomited once and had several bouts of nausea that threatened, but never developed into […]
UTI, Lunch, and Putt-Putt, Oh My!
We’ve spent half the day doing our schoolwork in the pediatrician’s office, because my younger son has been complaining that his tee-tee burns. I’ve tried cranberry concentrate and lots of fluids for the last week, but he’s still complaining. They don’t think it’s a UTI, but rather some external irritation. But they’re going to culture […]
