Queen of Rambles

No wonder I can never sleep. I have super hearing.

Created by Train Horn
I hear this noise all the time–from lights, from electric outlets, from just random stuff I guess. I don’t want to get old, but I sure wouldn’t mind losing my ability to hear this sound!
Also, remember me bitching [...]

I’m feeling somewhat accomplished today. Big change, I know! I dropped Erik off at a friend’s house and spent three solid hours cleaning the old apartment. I think I can have it done tomorrow with another couple hours of solid work. I have a playdate lined up for Erik with another [...]

Why do we have so many books? We have books I’ve never even heard of but that I’m pretty sure I bought. No more book buying for me. I’m glad we live in a place with a great library. It saves us a ton of cash.
NO SPOILERS: What the hell [...]

We figured out garbage pick-up time. Aren’t we lucky? The truck arrives Tuesday at 6:30 am. Whoo-hoo! How’d we get so lucky? Once a week for the rest of my life I will be awakened way before I want to be awake to grinding and beeping noises. I guess [...]

*I finally had to change my desktop picture on my laptop. I’m almost embarrassed to admit I’ve had the same picture for 2 1/2 years. What can I say? I really liked my Erik and Dragon pic. The dear, dear boy did something weird and suddenly my desktop pic was a [...]

I’m sure I can’t be the most tired person in the whole, entire world. After all, there are new mothers out there. Victims of sleep deprivation torture. Starving children in Africa.
But I’m pretty damned tired.
The worst? The work is not getting done because a certain three year [...]

We’re alive! We still have a shitload of work to do, including packing up a bunch more kitchen stuff and hauling it over ourselves, but the majority of stuff is in the new house. We are sleeping here tonight! I didn’t think this day would ever come.
I have been very worried about [...]

Just one more day of packing, then it will be days weeks of unpacking. Mike and I are both pretty danged tired and I’m one cranky mama. Poor Erik. He needs attention and fun, but we just don’t have time for that right now. I tried to give him some fun [...]

Two more days until the movers arrive. I’m going to have to work my ass off tomorrow and Thursday and hope it’s enough. Mike worked his ass off this weekend, so I guess it’s fair. I just wish he could be home Thursday so we don’t have to go into panic mode [...]

Erik’s been enjoying the packing, though he’s the only one. He keeps getting down in the boxes and telling us that he’s going to be taped up forever. Weirdo. He also keeps telling me “thank you for packing, mama.” At least he has some manners, though it is a strange thing [...]
