It's Wednesday morning. Very early Wednesday morning. We're surviving here. It's not much of a life but part of me is just counting down until at least Mystery is out of our house and we can hopefully do more than just sit around this house. Can't go anywhere because Daddy thinks we'd have to take them with us and taking them with us makes me not want to go anywhere.I have something else

I haven't come in here in HOW long? Part of me started thinking that I was stressing myself out more by coming in here and writing because instead of purging I was stewing. Well, the new school year is starting and it seems that we need to get the ball rolling. Mystery - who has been gone all summer to TW's house came back the other day. Overall she has had a teensy bit more manners and '

This one has been coming to me in pieces. First, Glory and her hubby were here for the holidays and OH was our dog happy!!! He's missed the two older kids since they've moved away and that's to be expected, but it breaks my heart for him how things have evolved in the meantime.We got him as a little pup from the SPCA. Charming was SO excited that we had our first dog that he instantly claimed

You see, I'm trying not to use that one for Glory's hubby. It's what pops into my head all the time though! Ok, probably because Daddy uses that term when describing him and he really is spot-on! The name I have for him in the left column index just isn't working for me! I have to say that I don't hate him and want him to vanish off the earth, but because Glory loves him fiercely I sure wish

I keep saying that I'm going to post here and then things take me away and I loose my mind trying to wrap myself around whatever's current. I can't type when they're here because of over-the-shoulder syndrome and then when the house is calm and mostly empty I'm just so glad NOT to think about it! Kwim?!!Ok, I've got one that I think I can wrap up without going on and on! I'm going to tell you

I've been on the chan.tix for a little over 60 days and dreaming for just as many! I remember dreams many times a week and about 92% of the time I want to go back to sleep and continue with them. I'm not even sure if I'm going to post this or maybe I'll just publish it later so it isn't at the forefront. For some reason I just started thinking that I wish I'd known about some of these nutty

I'm going to go back as soon as I can and reply to the comments on the last post but just want to say that Pixie didn't end up staying here and whatever she had going on logistically is resolved and she isn't staying with us. I'm now stuck with the kid's computer which is as slow as can be and I can't really go nd read other blogs using this one because everything loads slow because of the system

Please. I am sleep deprived right now because I worked an all-nighter last night and then got home and had about 2 hours of sleep before Daisy woke me up. Work sucked because the gal that is the most senior in my section has decided not to speak to me. Hmmm... I'm trying to think if there's a possible connection to me opening my mouth and agreeing with another gal on my last night shift that the

I haven't done this for awhile. Check out what it looks like on Mystery's ISN page. (Clicking on the pic will open it up in a new tab or window!) I haven't been tracking her as much as I have in the past, and some things just don't change! Oh to be a teenager these days, huh?! I would totally be trying to figure out as much as I could with new technology so that I'd be able to do all kinds of

I'm drafting this before I get any possible replies because I want to start with my own gut reaction, which is not surprised at all! The teachers said at Open House that they (most all anyway) will be giving him homework for Monday through Thursday pretty consistently. I can't tell you how many times I had him bring his agenda to me to make sure that he's keeping up and he hasn't filled in a darn

This is a WWYD because I seriously don't have to be right here. I'm not going to say who reacted how, but I'll tell you that Daddy and I have very different reactions to Jabber's most recent report card. Keep in mind that he is on ADHD meds which started last year.In 6th Grade he made the Honor Roll for 3 out of 4 quarters. He consistently got in the mid to high 90's for grades last year with one

As an AMA I do things diferently than I did 20 years ago when I was starting out with my first two kids. I now totally understand the relationship growing up between my mother and my youngest (of 5) brother. Everything was comical.Today's example of comedy came from Daisy while driving home from the Golden Arches. She got a toy in her children's meal and while driving down the road I got called

Not so true when it comes to some things! Among them today let's just say that this 47 yr old body is doing okay with overnight shifts, but I remember doing them when I was 20 and used to leave work and go directly to the beach for the day. This is quite a bit different!The job is kind of physical. A bunch of things are timed and graphed somewhere. They keep you moving, walking, lifting and

I'm not sure what started the spiral exactly. It seems like it was bound to happen, and just needed a kick in the pants along the way. Think about this. Mystery's mother walked out when she was 5 years old. She barely called and hardly visited for the next 3 years, and she lived in the same town. It was probably worse on Mystery than Jabber because she was old enough to understand that her mother

I don't like to post angry all the time and I'm quite angry lately. I've got a few skills that 've learned along the way and they're just not helping me out enough right now. So I've been quiet, with a few comments on others' blogs here and there. Please know that I do go in and read quite often, and I try to comment when I hit a moment of clarity. Sometimes it just hits me and isn't as

I'm talking about Mystery. She sure is one!To update on her schoolwork this year it seems that she has truly flipped a switch somewhere. Her grades came out for mid-term progress reports and she's got all B's!! Yayyy! We know that she's entirely capable of these, but in the last two years it was a struggle to get her to bring home even one B! LOL, something tells me that TW may have promised

My laptop conked out! It won't even turn the fan on to pretend to boot up. Please say a few kind words for us as I am in hopes that one day I may resurrect at least the hard drive of it and recover much of the information that I have in the Family Documents section! Shoot, photos and movies in there would be nice too, but I think I have those backed up on the EHD. We have some money that will

Anyone else get this crap? Maybe it's one of my hang-ups from days gone by that I just need to get over? Jabber came home from TW's house with a heat pad/massager for his bed. It looks like it's supposed to be for a large chair, but he's using it for his bed. That and he brought back the shorts that I sent with him that she bought for him and he's not wearing anymore this season. He has a lot

I should preface everything that I say to Jabber and Mystery with that phrase! Because I'm obviously never the final fucking word around here!The boy needs help with organizing things. Partly because he's a boy and partly because of his ADHD. He has this fun little way of having a fucking answer for everything, even if there wasn't a damn question asked. If he said that's why he did "x" then it's

Sheesh, I didn't even realize that it's been this long since I posted here, bu I guess so! I'm going for an interview tomorrow for a job that seems kind of mindless and I'll take it if it's what I can get but I'm not sure how long I'd last there. I'm qualified to work with small children and have done that for many years, staying home now with Daisy since the whole pregnancy was high risk due

I'm pretty tired this week. I'm actually going a mile a minute because Daddy and I have been trying to figure out things with getting a J.O.B.Ugh!! I've loved staying at home and he seems to think that when I go back to work we'll have more money around here! Ha! I'm just waiting to see when it hits him. We'll spend every little bit more that I make and still owe on all kinds of things! He needs

Oh, NO I don't and neither should they! HAVE to, that is.It's just not necesary to be that dumb. Mystery's school "ECI" (Emergency Contact Information) sheet came home and there are some things that these people just have never gotten right! That and I knew that we were adding TW to the mail list this year so that she doesn't 'borrow' our copy of progress reports and report cards and then never

OMG I don't believe that I'm doing this! Remember the new baby in our extended family? Well, this is an in-law thing. Actually there's the one that came early and another family member due at the end of next month, sibling to the first one!So the grandmother of the new babies decided that they would have a joint baby shower.

The tone that drives me nuts. The tone that they don't speak to me in, but I get to listen to them speak to just about everyone else with. It's not just a teen thing because they've been perfecting this one for years. Years before I came on the scene. Trust me! First of all you have to hear it. Picture one word. Daddy. Now take that word and put a whine on it. Now take that word (and whine) and
