my male co-worker should be commended. he actually managed to remember a conversation that we females were having earlier in the day, and after the kids left, he put on some music that related to our earlier conversation. How was he supposed to know that hearing Relient K would make me, well, not cry (i managed to not cry! :-) ), but definitly be a ( Read more... )

you want to know what my sister just did? she just graduated. yes, i'm talking about sheila here. can you believe it? it's pretty incredible. mom and i were weeping so hard when she got her diploma. we were crying so hard we couldn't clap. but that's ok. sheila received the longest and loudest ovation out of all the graduates. which made us cry ( Read more... )

Last night here. i don't want to leave. i can't wait to get home. everyone has left (well, everyone is leaving), so i don't want to stay where people are not, but i don't want to leave. anyway, i have to be up early tomorrow to load the van. then i get to stay here until daddy's done with work, then i get to go home in time for dinner ( Read more... )

you have to love it when someone says to you "i'm guilty, but there is no way that you can drag what i am guilty about from me!!" at which point they promtly spill all. that happened this morning at breakfast. i must say it was about the easiest torture session ever. now i can either try to discover all the other sides of this issue, or i can say " ( Read more... )

i always knew there was a reason why i didn't like politics - there's too much mud-slinging, back-stabbing, and dirty fighting.

i found out today that someone thinks that i posted something that i did not post. it's hurtful that someone thinks that i would be mean enough to post something mean, and not even do the courtesy of signing my name to it ( Read more... )

ever notice how whenever you need to do the most work, there is some reason why you just cannot fathom working?
