Could it be? A good day?

So I hauled myself out of bed at 6:15 this morning and threw on some pants.  I broke the cardinal rule of parenting and woke the bub up as well.  We got him dressed and I nuked a cup of coffee.  I had a little bit of time before I had to leave so I [...]

So Snotty and other woes

I got my college transcripts over the weekend, which is quite a mixed blessing.  On the one hand, it means that the college application process should speed along nicely now.  On the other, I am confronted by my erratic-at-best performance the first time around.  I fell asleep last night working out an essay about the [...]

Doing stuff takes up a lot of time

I was an extraordinarily good worker yesterday and cleared out a bag of clothes that Lucy had outgrown, packed up all of her and Francis’ summer clothes (I’m trying to get used to calling him by his name so that he responds to it for the doctor) and packed up my summer clothes as well.  [...]

Facebook WTF? And other woes.

Why, oh why can I not use half of the Facebook features all of a sudden?  For the past week I have been unable to change my status or comment or send email or confirm friend requests/invitations and the kicker?  I can’t send in feedback to find out why because nothing.happens. when I click on [...]

I’m not going to do it today

I’ve been having these really odd dreams lately.  There was the ‘worms, naturally blind ghosts’ dream, the ‘I can’t drive the car because oyster shells aren’t round’ dream, and then last night I had a dream that Joe Biden tried to smooch me.  The last, I am quite certain, is because of a conversation with [...]
