Upstairs straighted. Fish fed. Amy watching Sesame Street blissfully unaware that I’m turning he tv off when her show is over. I’m sitting down to blog, e-mail and drink my cold Starbucks frappuccino. I’d prefer a hot mocha, but I’m happy with this too. Doug is angry that I didn’t come upstairs this morning. Sarah […]

Sarah is only 10 years old and she acts like a teenager. Hates to be told what to do. Wants to make her own decisions but accepts no responsibility for her actions. Hates having us check her homework. Doesn’t want to wear whatever I pick out for her. Likes to have her hair hanging in […]

Doug got Sarah duty and I got Amy (runny nose, watching Sesame Street), Noah (riding bike in neighborhood with friends) and Tommy (wandering house looking for something to get into).

Sarah has had a nasty cold sore for days. When she got home from school her eye was swollen and pink so i’m sending er to the pede. She is very angry about having to go. “I am NOT going to the doctor.” Yesterday and today Noah got in trouble for talking in class. Tommy […]

My two cents on The Passion of the Christ. Let me preface this by saying that I was raised in a VERY Baptist home. We were at church three times a week and I had to go to private school so I would only be around “good, Christian people”. That said, my father is all […]

Stupid e-mail server is down again. I can feel a migraine coming and the worst part is that I can’t stop it. Light and noise sensitivity, dull pressure, a feeling like I’m in a cave that will only get worse as the day proceeds.

Add to goals: Upstairs floors cleaned.

During one of Doug’s digs through the garbage (I hate it when he does that) he pulled out an old makeup brush of mine. Amy is now brushing her face, neck and hands. We get to go see Jeff Foxworthy tomorrow. Yes, I know what you’re thinking. Well, we may as well be proud of […]

Woke up earlier than I felt like because I heard Amy crying. Today’s goals are simple. Laundry, kitchen and desk all need to be cleaned. A few night ago Doug and I took Sarah and Noah to Olive Garden. It was strange to have a meal without someone throwing food, running around the table and […]

I’m back from the cookie lottery. My adrenaline is so high that my ears are ringing. The good thing is that I know what to do different next year. The bad thing is that I’m going to have three weekends of absolute chaos. I’m off to bed for (hopefully) destressing and some fun with Doug. […]
