till a nice little two-day-off stretch. (Give or take - because I’ve got to get one of my kids to school and then DRIVE and then I’ll have a drive back) But so far I have held out well. Better than I expected so far, especially since I was so exhausted for the past few days. Hungry Girl-ing is going okay. Not great, since I can’t find fat free ( Read more... )

Yay! And yes, it was only calling tech support where I got somewhat snapped at by a guy who speaks English as his 5th language, so this was quite the feat! But hey…he helped me and my son’s laptop is connected again, so all is well in my world for the time being! Oh yeah…my youngest son got an early Christmas gift from ALL of us…a *nice* iPod, ( Read more... )

But I am determined to start this week off better than last week.

Last week’s unprepared-ness cost me time, money, and sanity. As in, I spent all the grocery money and I couldn’t even tell you what I got! I still did better than I have done before, but not as good as 2-3 weeks ago. And my coupons? Gone. All of them. My P&G $120 was about ( Read more... )

I can’t believe it’s after 11 PM already! I FINALLY have a day off tomorrow, but it will be spent catching up on housework, then I have to take Danny to the Orthopedic Center for an appointment at 3. His back continues to give him trouble, and while a chiropractor has been helpful in temporarily making him feel better, it’s not really fixing ( Read more... )

After an extremely weird dream (the last one I could remember, anyway), I woke up feeling quite hung over. How does that happen?

In the dream, I guess I was close to out-of-college age; two or three friends and I shared a nice little place in our riverside town. (probably attributed to what I was reading before bed) A third friend had recently ( Read more... )

First off, congrats to Huntsville’s Dixie Derby Girls for an absolutely amazing season finale last night! We ran out of tickets at the door. We ran out of souvenir programs in the venue. In the first bout, the DDG’s Raging Rockets defeated the brand new Chattanooga Rollergirls 110-56. The Thriller halftime performance rocked the house. And the ( Read more... )

(ETA: this totally posted without a title. I have no idea what happened!)

I can’t believe how much I still have to do!

My babehs….er, sons are coming home THIS SUNDAY! Even though this month has flown by faster than probably any of their other visitation months in years, I can not wait to see them!

So I have been determined to get the house ( Read more... )

I am so excited to have a three day stretch off.  I am already off to a good start!  First, I slept in late, which was absolutely decadent.  Then?  I fed and watered and walked dogs, got the trash to the curb, gathered up more junk, have started a load of dishes and a load of laundry, ugpraded to WP 2.8.2 (at least, as far as I can tell.  The page ( Read more... )

First off, last night’s Rocket City Rumble was awesome! I am so glad I got to be (even a small) part of it. I hope I am able to return to derby SOON. It’s a constant struggle, though. I love it when I’m there, but I am equally covetous of my ‘down time’, and have found it very difficult to deal with my extra work hours and different shifts ( Read more... )

My “weekend” does, anyway, and not a moment too soon. I haven’t worked six days in a row in …. I can’t really remember when. I would say that I am positively gleeful at the prospect of not having anywhere to go or anything really to do, but……yeah. I do have things to do. Errands to run, groceries - including about a million dollars worth of ( Read more... )
