Holy posting Batman!  Here I am again.  I honestly didn't think I would ever make another entry to this journal.  In fact, I came close to deleting everything several times, but for some odd reason it keeps lingering.  Perhaps because most of what I wrote about took place at a very pivotal point in my life.  Any way, I digress.

None of which I'm ( Read more... )

I got some news yesterday that kind of rattled me.  Sally called to tell me that her son, my ex, the father of my two oldest children has testicular cancer.  As soon as she uttered those two words, my jaw dropped.  I am rarely speechless, but that time I was.  I suppose it was a good thing that I was at a loss for words because she poured her heart ( Read more... )

Today I was busier than a one-legged man in a ass kicking contest.  I slept in until noon which was nice.  After I peeled my ass out of bed, I sat down to relax with my cup of coffee, checked my email and was getting ready to tackle my day which should have consisted of re-painting my french doors and window frames in my living room.  But then, lo ( Read more... )

Spring is in the air.  The bees have been making their rounds, the birds have been chirping loudly and everything is in bloom.  It's a season of transition, change and rebirth - my favorite time of the year.  Well, almost.  Along with nature's transitions comes the human ones as well.

It's happening with my kids.  Meg is maturing on a level that ( Read more... )

I really wanted to write a nice, positive post. Honest! Spring is here, flowers are blooming, birds are chirping, the weather is nice, but I still had a crappy week. So before I start ranting and raving and mentioning some TMI, I'm giving you the chance to skip this entry....Still here? Okay then, here we go ( Read more... )

My kid met a bonafide celebrity. A music biz celeb that is. Jake has been bugging me this past week to go to a friend's house, which is located in the next neighborhood over from me. There is a trail through the woods that makes it easier to get to. I wasn't too keen on the idea at first, but seeing as to how there are no kids his age in our ( Read more... )

Phew! I finally get a breather! This past week has been a whirlwind of activity. Megan's 15th birthday was last Thursday so we've been planning and shopping for a party which took place last night. Dim lights - loud music - couch. Basement parties...remember those ( Read more... )

No, not Bruce, Mizz Megan.  '"Turn down your music 'cause I'm listening to mine (in headphones no less) and it's really really bothering me alot".   "Gawd you're soooo annoying me!"  The ultimate teenager has laid down the law.  Or so she thinks.  Bedtime girly-girl.  Adios baby.  See ya in the morning, bright and early HA ( Read more... )

As promised, here's the update on our trip to Canada. I was going to post this yesterday but I had soooo much stuff to take care of that time just got away from me ( Read more... )

I was all set to post about how we are having our basement finished, pics and all. But then, Megan decided to blame me for how bored she is because I refused to drive her and her friend anywhere this evening. Apparently, it's all my fault, and I'm a bitch to boot ( Read more... )
