Queen of Rambles

Thank you to everyone who responded so kindly to last night’s money panic info. I can’t reply to anyone because I will spill the whole story in a moment of rage. I have never named Mike’s place of employment on this blog. It is a small company, so I doubt any of [...]

You know I’ve been mentioning that things aren’t going well around here in regards to Mike’s job. It is stressing me out beyond belief and I’ve been coming up with cockamamie (how on earth do you spell that?) plans to make some money. Basically, Mike’s company has no money, which means they aren’t [...]

I had a little freak out last night when I learned preschool would consist of FISHING for FISH today. Yikes. Do you all remember the time I tried to find half-marbles in a pet store in Kiruna and there were GIANT TROUT and I threw up? Yeah. I was loving the [...]

I want to write a really cool and interesting post tonight, but alas, my cool and interesting mojo is broken. I don’t know what’s wrong with me today, but I’ve been on edge and grouchy. I tried to reign it in with Erik, but the poor kid got slapped on the hand for [...]

We had a very long weekend here at Chez Possum. I joined a Round Robin quilting group on LiveJournal and my block is just about over due. I’ve not had any time with my sewing machine thanks to vacation and company, so it was a do or die situation this weekend. Mike [...]

I would totally be doing the Happy Dance of Guests Going Home, but Erik is so sad about the whole thing that it’s difficult to be overjoyed. Their flight left at 6 pm, so Erik was awake and aware when they loaded up into the car and left. He cried for a long [...]

ARGH! My leg/groin area is killing me. It feels like it did in the three months prior to Erik’s birth. I only know one way to cure it, but since there isn’t a baby to cut out I don’t know what I’m going to do. My c-section scar has been acting [...]

Thursday. Four more days. Thursday.
I can make it till then.
I feel like such an ungrateful bitch when I complain about the in-laws because they are really quite lovely when it’s all said and done, but it is so exhausting having people here in our little apartment. The introvert in me wants to [...]

I feel like such a fraud right now. I’m serving a large, southern style dinner tonight. Yet here I sit, typing an entry. There will be fried chicken and potato salad, both prepared by the Amish, fresh tomatoes prepared by mother nature, southern style black eyed peas prepared by a canning company [...]

Another day almost done. How many left? Of this visit, that is. Not of life in general. I’m not at all sure I’d want to know the day I’ll day. What if it is tomorrow? That’d be much too stressful. Wasn’t there a story about a guy who [...]
