I swear I'm not dead. Life has just been a little bit crazed lately.

My sister is home and as much as I love her and love having her back home she's a hurricane. Blowing in and causing upheaval then blowing back out. Plus, with her living in the house,  the laundry NEVER ENDS.

Which, of course, is why the washing machine broke down and the iron ( Read more... )

I actually used the "Because I say so" line earlier today with the Youngling. Not one of my prouder parental moments, but there's only so much justification I can give for why he has to pick up his room before it segues into "Because I say so ( Read more... )

Babydaddy and his parents are due to arrive for a weekend of torture fun any minuet now and while I completely dread having to spend time with the pseudo-in-laws (who are without a doubt, the most socially awkward people I have ever met in my entire life) I'm happy that they'll be taking the Youngling off my hands for even a few hours.

I love the ( Read more... )

It's taken me about three years to arrive at this conclusion, but sometimes I'm a little slow.

I know this probably goes without saying (and that you've all seen it a bunch of times on you friends lists) but Please don't post anything from my journal to Facebook or Twitter. I try and keep my fanish life somewhat private. I'm sure you all understand ( Read more... )

Lately though? I'm getting almost nothing done. Youngling ( Read more... )

My parents have run away to the beach for a long weekend leaving my theoretically in charge. However, I'm just really really tired due to the fact that I've been having some serious SLEEP ISSUES. Meaning that in the early mornings when Youngling and I get up (or, to be more accurate, he gets up and I am forced to follow) I've once or twice drifted ( Read more... )

We've got family coming to visit this weekend. You know what that means?

Time to:

Long week and been very long. And it's still Thursday. Youngling has gotten it into his mind that sleep =/= fun. So he's been doing his best to go with out. It's starting to get a little draining. Luckily, babydaddy arrived today for a visit, so I may get some R&R. After I tackle the list of house work and errands to run that I've been putting off ( Read more... )
