Private time
I never realized as a teenager how much I would miss private time. The time when you’re all about yourself for a little while. I could probably have more if I really pushed for it, but at the cost of alienating everyone around me. When I was single I shaved twice a day and washed [...]
Christmas is coming……
…. ready or not. I’m enjoying planning and shopping. With my limited Christmas experience I’m no pro. I’ve gone Black Friday shopping, had my shopping done before Thanksgiving and waited to start until the last two weeks. One thing I haven’t done is spend Christmas 1400 miles away from home and family, we’ve always had [...]
Never Forget
Today our country reflects back on 9/11/01. Living in Arkansas and watching on television was painful, but the pain still felt in the New York City area is greater still. To watch events unfold in a place you’ve never been is much like watching a movie, you feel the emotion, but it doesn’t have the [...]
Oh that mother nature
So we experienced our first earthquake this week. There was an earthquake in Arkansas, but we had already moved. It was very interesting, it was pretty mild here, so it wasn’t really scary. Now we are looking at having to evacuate tomorrow. I keep putting off packing a bag, but I will get it done [...]
Summer break
I guess my blog has been on summer vacation. We still have 3 wonderful weeks of no school left here, not that I’ll enjoy it as much as my kids. We’re on our way to having our summer reading done and our summer projects to take to school the first day. I’m ready for them [...]
106 spam comments
So in the past couple of days I have accumulated 106 spam comments on my blog. You haven’t seen them because I have to approve first comments, after your first comment they automatically post, but the first one has to get past me. I’m wondering if there is a spam college out there because all [...]
My cat is crazy
Everyone is back at home where they belong. I survived this month without my boy, he really enjoyed spending time with some friends he has missed from Arkansas. After a delay in Memphis and confusion at our airport, we finally got it together and got him picked up. We’re so glad to have him home, [...]
My OCD keeps house guests away
I’ve never really lived anywhere anyone wanted to come visit so I don’t have very much experience with house guests, that said I’ve been a house guest and from what I’m hearing I’m the strange one. To me staying with a friend or relative is a lot like camping, when you leave no one can [...]
Injustice for Casey doesn’t bring justice for Caylee
So there is a lot of outrage right now that there was no justice for Caylee Anthony, but if you watched the trial or even halfway kept up with the news how could her mother be convicted? Two wrongs don’t make a right. We still don’t know how Caylee died, just that she’s dead. Maybe [...]
You can’t go home again
One week down, we made it. I miss my boy terribly, but I know he’s having fun with his friends in Arkansas. Next week he’ll be spending time with his dad’s family. Can’t believe he’s 16, flew on a plane by himself and is surviving this world without me. My dad is visiting this week, [...]
