On my way into work.

I’m working a 1/2 day today - at least in the office.  I will then come home, so the girls aren’t alone, because Beloved has to work all day.  Then I’m OFF!! until next Monday.
When I get home today, the girls and I will grab the keys to the new apartment/house, and we will walk [...]

This is great.  We’re moving!  Like, tomorrow or something ridiculous like that.
As of July 1, we can start using the keys to the new place ( which we got last week ).
The movers, however, aren’t coming until July 24th.  We have those 3 weeks to pack, to slowly bring some breakables over, to buy and [...]

A Book of Faces

I suppose I joined the (facebook) crowd today.  I only have 12 friends.  But I didn’t look for 1/2 of them.  So far, I kinda don’t understand.  I mean, we don’t write posts.  We just do these weird updates? I am sure I’ll figure it out.
The girls had their last day of school.  E came [...]

Last Week of the Year

The school year, that is. The girls are done on Friday. The past two weeks have been exhausting. Their school just sucks the life outta ya at the end here. Breakfasts, meetings, concerts, picnics, more breakfasts, more meetings. After Friday, they have two weeks to knock [...]

My Beloved is not my daughters’ biological father.  He is their step-father.  They do not call him dad.  They call him by his first name.  When people say, “oh, your dad is here!”  They look over and say “hi, [real first name]!” and do not correct people.  When we are walking down the street, and [...]

Ooooh, the pain

I really wasn’t kidding about the ouchies all over my body.
I need a massage.
I’ve never had one before.
I don’t know how to pick a stranger who will be touching me for 1.5 hours.
How do I do this?
I really have been hurting for a while, and I need this fixed.
Any advice on how to assess the [...]

While it’s true that J drools over cell phone commercials, and hates the fact that she’s the only one in the house who does not have a laptop (and won’t have either until 6th grade), that’s not the point of this post.
My younger daughter is jealous of her sister’s “counselor.”
She’s decided that not only would [...]

my weekend - my evening - my health.
1)  J was gone this weekend.  I thought it would be nice.  She’s younger, less independent, a little more needy.  I thought it would be a break.  It wasn’t.  It was a hole.  I missed her.  I worried about her - camping with the girl scouts in shitty [...]
