Before I go to bed… and forget (again) what I wanted to write about, I’m going to jot down a few thoughts before I drag myself upstairs and attempt to beat my insomnia (that kicked in LAST night)…
Garido… Garedo… whatever the guy’s name is… who kidnapped, molested, and fathered two children with an 11 year [...]

Early this morning, my husband and I drove to a furniture warehouse (from the company where we bought our one sofa) for an “up to 80% off” sale. I also had in hand an additional $25 coupon for any purchases over $250. Now, I’m a skeptic by nature… and didn’t think we’d find anything.
We arrived [...]

I am getting used to the batcave, with exception to ONE THING: my cat has no problem going potty in my office, or rather… his litter box located just outside the imaginary walls of my office.
About 30 seconds ago, distracted by what I’m doing here (plus music blaring on my iPod), I happened to catch [...]

I’m back in the batcave after a day topside… and I have to say, after sitting at the kitchen table for 6 hours yesterday working, that my back hurt and my butt was sore. Sitting at the kitchen table needs to be a three-times a day thing, if that, in order to decrease on the [...]

Once I moved my entire life down here (i.e. work, blogging, etc), I thought that it would help me to focus. HOWEVER… I don’t feel very focused. I’ve been playing around on the Internet for um…2 hours now and worked for 30 seconds. *sighs*
Our open house yesterday yielded NO activity, but I did come home [...]

I think that being a mother of teenage boys is definitely a thankless job… no extra “combat” pay is included with their birth certificates, nor is there ample warning that teen years are a ginormous pain in the keister.
Now, I don’t MIND driving my kids anywhere… well, within time constraints and reason. Like, for instance, [...]

Its official… #3 son is bored out of his gourd. I was just kicked (oof) in the leg by a pissed off 6 year old who has decided that he doesn’t WANT to do his last four handouts of the summer.
He is now serving time in his room… and I can hear him screaming from [...]

I look out my window yesterday and my heart stopped..
Apparently, I now live nextdoor to a Kmart Special…
A knot in my stomach grew… as I counted the crap they tossed in their yard…and this is only over the course of the past 3 months since they moved in nextdoor (and whatever shit was IN the yard, it [...]

Yeah, no, I’m not IN the batcave yet. STILL waiting for SOMEONE to vacuum up bug carcasses and to take preventative measures that I will not be sitting there grading when something multi-legged, hairy, with little buggy creepy fangs climbs up my legs. It won’t be pretty. That I promise.
Well, it was an interesting weekend, [...]

It’s Saturday. What have I done today? Went to store… (check) went to farm to get corn (check)… picked up bread for my mil’s house tomorrow (check, check)… attempting to (seriously) do work today (no checky checky).
BAH!
Why can’t I get motivated to work? I have a month left before I get to stand before my [...]

Now that the silence ended between my mother and myself (*sighs*), she’s back to calling me multiple times a day asking me mundane questions about nothing, “So, what’s new”, “So, anything new,” “So, anything different”… which amount to me having to REPEAT myself fifty times a day. If she ends up like my grandmother (suffering [...]

My life is boring again… sorry for the lack of updates.
I took #2 and 3 sons to the mall today to get a gift for my sil (birthday party this weekend) and #3 his soccer equipment as his practices start soon.
Cleats, shinguards, soccer socks, and a pair of soccer shorts = $56
Not bad, considering I [...]
