Only two more days to get this done, so I might as well do it tonight. I have a lot of work to catch up on over the course of the next few days. My boss sent me some changes he wants made, and they have to be done asap, so that's what I'll be doing for awhile. After that, it should be fairly clear for the rest of the year. Of course, it's nice to ( Read more... )

I get to take a brief break from schooling Markez because of lunch, so it's as good a time as any to do this. It's been pretty damn busy around here the past few days, so it's nice to have a lull in it all ( Read more... )

Now that I've finally managed to peel Garnet off of me, I can do this. She's been wanting me with her constantly the past day or two, and it's been next to impossible for me to do anything without her. I hope that doesn't mean she's going to end up with whatever illness has been going around ( Read more... )

I have to say that life with this family is always an adventure. It can be frustrating, aggravating, and lead to possible insanity, but it's never dull ( Read more... )

Another last day entry. I'm good at those anymore. I should try posting a little more often again, but I probably won't, at least for now. I don't really have a lot to say, and I'd end up repeating myself far too often ( Read more... )

Markez is officially driving me nuts. I know that sounds like nothing unusual, but believe me, this is above and beyond his usual wildness. The coming end of summer seems to have instilled the need in him to outdo himself in every possible way. He's broken three things with his running around, two of them before six this morning. He's lucky they ( Read more... )

The summer has shaped up quite nicely. Things sometimes even seem almost back to normal, with Shawn and Rafiq running around and finding ways to pay Markez back for whatever latest prank he's pulled. The only tension here at the house has been trying to get Markez to do what he's supposed to do, just as it used to be. It feels good. I hope the ( Read more... )

Now that I have a minute to sit down, I'll get to this. We've been running around all day doing things that need to be done, including trying to deal with a more precocious than usual (yes, it's possible. Color me surprised) Markez. The boy is just insisting on getting into trouble, and has very selective hearing today. No matter how many times we ( Read more... )

Finally I manage to get to this. This time it wasn't a case of putting it off but of being too busy with my current project to get to it. By the time I do the work I schedule myself for each day, I'm a little tired of being at the computer and so I go and do other things. Those other things tend to have to do with getting ready for Christmas, so ( Read more... )
