I’m a little out of sorts lately because there’s a major change in our household routine. My husband has been switched to day shift after over a year on nights, and I’m not quite sure what to do with it. I’ve gotten used to him not being here most of the day because he’s sleeping, [...]

We’ve been having hideous problems with the net this past week. It’s up, it’s down. It’s up, it’s down. We got in touch with Comcast, and found out that our connection has been consistent for this past two weeks so it’s not them it’s something in our house. Namely, the router. So, today I got [...]

Well, I input my first daily meal chart into spark people this morning. Yesterday’s food, and I stayed within most of my limits. I was 65 calories over my daily limit, but I blame that on the fact that I also had two cans of Mountain Dew yesterday instead of the one I’m supposed to [...]

As you know I’ve been going very haphazard on that in the past year, but I’m really starting to focus on things properly now. I think I’m in a much better place mentally. I joined Spark People at the recommendation of a fellow Mom, and I’m looking into their tips and things, as well as [...]

…it was just one of THOSE days, you know where everything goes wrong that could possibly go wrong. Mix-ups with appointments, angry child, spilled coffee. Urgh. The final straw was when I tried to just nip into the grocery store to pick up a prescription, wound up there for a half hour with a crabby [...]

We’ve been having a lot of trouble with bugs coming in the house. I’ve had to put some fresh weather stripping on the front door, and we’ve been thinking about getting exterior shutters on some of the windows. In a last ditch effort we’ve put up some of those sticky bug catching strips but they’re [...]

I know a lot of people who are looking for new and better jobs at the moment. The economy is rough and it’s hard to find work, especially work in your own area, or that’s in an area you’re familiar with. I remember our friend Jer who did our water treatment system was saying that [...]

Here’s some pictures from the munchkin’s birthday and the morning after. This one is from first thing in the morning when he was opening the presents that Great-Gran from England sent while Mum had her on the phone. Paddington Bear is apparently better read upside down. Here’s the amazing cake that Becka made, it has [...]

It’s coming up on Sunday. I was really out of touch with the days and nearly had a heart attack when it finally connected that it was THIS Sunday. Wow. My Mum had been talking about having a day out at the beach. We’d been debating about finding one of those cheap hotels to stay [...]

I’ve been playing Final Fantasy XII quite a bit lately trying to relax. I had to restart the game almost, from about ten hours in, which is rough as I was over a hundred hours in. Hubbie is recovering fairly well. He’s still in a lot of pain, but he’s recovering well, and is able [...]
