Queen of Rambles

I should be boarding a plane to Dulles right about now, but instead I’m coming to you direct from my parent’s living room. I decided I love everyone so much I have to stay an extra few weeks! Whoo-hooo!
Or my flight got cancelled.
Either way, I’m here. The first re-booking had [...]

I can’t wait for tomorrow. I wish the plane was leaving at 5:30 am instead of 5:30 pm. I can’t get out of here soon enough.
Today was another bad day.
Why do these bad days always revolve around my sister?
She called and asked what we were doing. Nothing, of course. I said [...]

It was very exciting to leave Erik in the care of my mother and head off to the theatre alone. It would have been more exciting to have Mike along for the ride, but at least the whole venture only cost me $6 instead of the MD price of $90. Can’t beat that.
I [...]

The older cousins are spending the night because Erik has been missing them the last few days. He decided he was going to sleep with them and Grandma and I’m down here laughing. There is no way he is going to sleep up there. I keep hearing my mom tell him to [...]

Another good day! Could it be because I saw my sister for a total of five minutes and she didn’t speak to me? Though I may have cut of my nose to spite my face. Erik really wants to play with his cousins and is sad that he hasn’t had any kids [...]

Personal note: Julie, my e-mail is not working with my stolen Internet. I can receive, but I can’t send.
If it wasn’t for the cost and the fact that my grandma just had surgery today I would be on the next flight out of here. I can’t be here any more.
First, the surgery [...]

I’ve been playing babysitter/mother/aunt to three preschoolers all day. Suffice it to say I am tired.
Luckily my mom was here for awhile this morning. We took the kids down to the park and I ended up dragging a very howly Erik home after ten minutes. He was being a little bully, pushing, [...]

Life has been crazy here, of course. I have been irritated for the last two days because one of Erik’s shoes did the disappearing act that is so common in this black hole of a house. I specifically put the shoe on the little wardrobe shoe stand thing one night. The next [...]

You people are lucky I have such a compulsion to write or I would get out of this room. My dad ate crab for dinner and the smell is making me sick. I’m stealing wireless from somewhere and the only place I can get reception is if I sit near my dad. [...]

I am so sick of my family being sick! Erik was up all night with a fever and a cough. At 4:30 am he decided he was done being in bed and started running around the house naked. I had to be a responsible mother and clothe him as best I could [...]
