Tomorrow is May's birthday.  She is turning four.  : )

Despite her do-it-herself haircut, she is still cute, though demanding.  We need to work on that a bit more - making requests rather than demands.

I had a revelation today.  I am afraid.  I have never really been afraid in my life.  I've felt panic and all, like when you think you'll get  in a ( Read more... )

Yesterday was...interesting.

Let's just say that I think the end of pregnancy attitude, winter cold and dark, and being cooped up with too many people in too small a space is getting to me and everybody else (obviously pregnancy doesn't affect them, but the rest does).  In short, yesterday was host to some minor, yet volatile, outbursts and ( Read more... )

Went to pregnancy doc appointment.  All is fine.  Docto had audacity to suggest that one of my pregnancy isseus was an MS issue anmd I very tactfully kept from telling her she was a moron and knew nothing about MS so shut up.  See?  I've learneed some tact and diplomacy, just took me 30+ years.

Next appointment is next Friday.  It would be in two ( Read more... )

First, I am against the mistreatment of animals, but the folks that are activists need to focus on the farms doing the crime, not bully everyone else.  I especially like Wier's points about taking care of people and that all skaters are wearing cows:

I'm rewriting the list, ( Read more... )

I realized something this mornng.  I sat here thinking how tired I was/am and suddenly realized that physically I ached a little, but I wasn't really *tired* physically.  I'm mentally tired, which maes me feel really tired, even if my body isn't.  While this may seem like a strange distinction, it actually helps me put things in perspective.

I also ( Read more... )

I am regretting sending N.T. to school.  Life at home was much more interesting and fun with him here to teach and do stuff with.  My classes start on Thursday, but I don't know as that will be a substitute.  And May is fun, but the house is so messed up now that I can't get anything out for us to do that is fun, and she is too little/inexperienced ( Read more... )

I just realized that I have completed all my to-do list important stuff from before. Yay me!

So, new list, with hopefully a little less pressure:

1)  Start reading textbooks
     a)  Download syllabi
     b)  Download files for 132
     c)  Marketing chap 1-2
2)  Call pool for lesson schedule - left message
3)  Call to ask about health course for A - left ( Read more... )

Not much interesting going on, other than the usual.  Kids are registered and gettng ready for school.  M has joined the swim team (very cool!) and has been at practice every morning this week.

Am tired, but mostly due to an infection and I'm taking antibiotics for it.  Hopeully I'll be feeling better again in a week or so.  It's been getting more ( Read more... )

Today was registration and kids' doctor day.  Asha went with mom to register this a.m. and got the teacher and all classes she wanted (yay!).  Then mom dropped her off, ent to work, and picked us up again at 1:30  to go to register everyone else.

Registration was fine.  I didn't register N.T. because upon testing him on what we learned last year ( ( Read more... )

The hospital bed arrived yesterday.  Mom and I spent a couple hours in the morning cleating a path through the living room and movng my bed and all thinking the bed would need to be carried in and all and it turns out that they arrive in pieces and it's assembled right there.  This makes sense, since such home hospital beds need to go into many ( Read more... )
