First off, I just realized that I passed my 12th (!) LJ anniversary more than 6 weeks ago, and failed to notice until now. :-P ( Read more... )

Man, this week has been crazy. Monday and Tues were the worst, but - well, we'll just say that I didn't manage to get MiniPlu to TKD at all, and I only managed to go once. I also only got more than 6 hours of sleep on one night, and I had nights where it was only 5.5 hours.

( Chicken, sans head )

There's a lot going on in my head at the moment, and no time to sit down uninterrupted at the computer except late at night. A lot of it has to do with the turmoil that is Two, and probably deserves its own post, eventually ( Read more... )

Gah, summer is kicking my butt. I have almost no time to myself during the day, with kids underfoot, plus physical therapy and various other appointments, obligations, etc and then in the afternoon there's what I like to call "enforced leisure" aka "taking the kids to the pool". I do get more reading done at the pool than I usually do during the ( Read more... )

I had my last day of solitude for the next 12 weeks on Tues. Wed morning I went to school to see Miniplu's 5th-grade friends get their awards, and school was dismissed at noon. Two started her life as a 4th-grader by falling off her bike as we rode home, spectacularly skinning her elbow. The rest of the afternoon was ok, though, going with another ( Read more... )

So, uh, ( the past week with dad )

Kind of a weird day. What was foremost on my mind, aside from "I hate colds and I need a new nose because I can't breathe" was "It's been one year to the day since I woke up with impaired vision in my right eye". My vision stabilized a few months later and hasn't changed since. I appear to be one of those who gets MOST of the vision back, but ( Read more... )

Will met with his hernia surgeon today to ensure All Systems Are Go and to find out when his surgery will be on Tues. ( The answer is: 'morning'. Gee, thanks. )

Yesterday: ( Busy )

Will brought in a weekly newspaper this evening which had been inexplicably tossed on our lawn (we get a daily paper - why do we need the weekly summary, too?) and, more inexplicably, had been delivered without a plastic bag despite the fact that it had rained almost all day. MiniPlu poked at the soggy mess, then came to me, holding out her hand ( Read more... )
