I’ve been home less than an hour and have unpacked for five people and dried the wet clothes I had to bring home. I had to wash everything before coming home because my new washing machine doesn’t arrive until Tuesday. Thank you, Baby, for my new machine! BUT THIS IS NOT MY CHRISTMAS PRESENT!!! Let’s […]

A new washing machine. For the second time in three months, the tub is rocking around in a way that is so not right. I’ve already spent $300 on this machine, so I guess when we return from vacation, I’ll be buying a new machine. Here’s hoping for some really good sales with super, fast […]

I can’t wait until we are on the plane! Whoever thought that would come out of my mouth? I hate to fly and have finally resorted to Xanax to make it through the flight. I take enough for a two hundred pound person and still get extremely nervous. At least, I have stopped ripping my […]

For Today~ November 16, 2009 Outside My Window…It’s damp and warm. I haven’t checked the weather for the week, but I am hoping that it finally cools down. I would love to put the boys in some winter clothes. I am listening to…Liz Phair and Tivo beeping in the background. I hate the sound of […]

Today we celebrated my mom’s birthday. Her birthday was during the week, but she wanted to wait until the weekend to celebrate so all her grandchildren could be with her. Something must change once you have grandchildren because Lance and I would honestly prefer a nice meal alone. I mean, really, who wants kids fussing, […]

My dad’s best friend has been inviting him to go on a silent retreat for at least fifteen years. My dad has promised to go a few times, then backed out at the last second. This year he promised to go and try to maintain silence. He was pretty worried about what he would do […]

Maybe this is a sign of depression, but I ordered 34 books last night on Amazon for my kids. Lance thinks I am crazy and started comparing my new kids’ books obsession with my Snoopy obsession. I went on and on about how each and every one of these books is important to the well […]
