Queen of Rambles

I know I’ve heard the name Magraret Cho before. I thought she was an author. I see her on Sesame Street occasionally, so while watching her sing a little song with Prairie Dawn (seriously, the most annoying Sesame Street creation EVER) I googled her. It’s totally wrong to be watching someone sing [...]

I’m alive and undecorated with Sharpie. I started trying to get Erik down for a nap as soon as I posted that and it took a good two hours, but I managed to stay awake for the whole thing. It was not easy, especially as my normal “putting Erik down” routine went out [...]

Geezealou! I took two percocet about 20 minutes ago and I am flying high! Whoo-hooo! My world is spinning and I can barely see the front of the computer to type. Good thing I’m an excellent touch typist!
I’m having a root canal on Wednesday afternoon. I could have had it [...]

Friday night I was sitting on the couch, minding my own business (or minding the business of all the internet strangers who post daily journal entries), when I was suddenly struck smellless by a cold. One minute I was fine, the next my nose was so plugged up I thought I would have to [...]

I can’t take showers anymore. I can’t trust Erik to be left on his own for five minutes while I scrub away the stench of a hard workout. The boy is becoming dangerous!
It’s a good thing I didn’t threaten Mike with divorce or worse last night because that little scene came around and [...]

An amazing principal: sitting down and doing work gets work done. I was able to cross off most of the writing/intellectual tasks on my to-do list, which makes life a lot sweeter tonight. Last night I was so stressed out I couldn’t sleep. I finally got up and took a sleeping pill [...]

Saying I’m over extended is like saying the Pope enjoys the occasional Bible study. Geeze Louis! I knew I had a lot to do, but I didn’t realize it would all coming slamming home at once. I thought I had a plan, but that plan is out the window.
I was selected as the [...]

My formerly mostly sweet little boy has turned intensely, frustratingly, inscrutably two. The calendar may say he won’t be two for another six weeks, but his temperament is telling a different story. The temper tantrums, which I can’t say for my life and call “tampers” much to my annoyance, are ramping up. [...]

I should not have been worried about selling those fabrics on ebay. I bought six fat quarters for $13.00. I sold three for $24.00. I still have one left I can sell. The other two were put to good use. I like this! Too bad I didn’t buy out the [...]

Poor Mike looks like a vampire who has been pulled into the daylight. Except, he must only be half-vampire because he doesn’t look like a pile of ashes so much as he looks pale and weary. The man is in dire need of a vacation, but instead he gets to go into work [...]
