Queen of Rambles

I finally managed to download all the various programs I need for my pictures and then upload said pictures, so if you are interested in seeing what we did this weekend you can check out THE PHOTO SET. Jojo, there is a picture in that set specifically for you. Can you find it? I am [...]

I’m coming to you live from my new computer! You probably won’t notice a difference, but I sure do. I can’t find anything, the keyboard is laid out a bit differently and I can’t get all my e-mail addresses to work. But the screen is attached! I always hate getting a new computer set up. [...]

We made it home today after a long, long drive. It didn’t take any longer than the drive over to Ohio, but it felt like we were never going to get home. The clock kept ticking and my butt kept going numb, but the miles just wouldn’t turn over. I guess they eventually did, since [...]

What a day, what a day. Five in the morning is no a pleasant wake-up time for mommy or son. Erik usually sleeps until 9, which is lovely and wonderful and makes me forget the two years of complete sleep deprivation. I had a playdate at our local park, so I had to get a [...]

We had Erik’s big preschool picnic tonight and I forgot the camera. How is that even possible? I practically live with that camera! It didn’t matter much in the end. The pictures just would have been a blur of blue passing by. The boy was excited. Very, very, very excited. As soon as we got [...]

A) Thanks for all the support about the sister issue. I feel like I do say terrible things about her, but all of those things are true (from my perspective). Our relationship is not a healthy one. We probably both should be in counseling. Too many hurts over the years, at least on my side. [...]

When I was at the playground tonight one of the moms asked me if Mike had told me about the fight at the playground. He hadn’t. I figured he just hadn’t had the chance since I was sleeping a lot of the afternoon and he was at work most of the evening. Apparently the lady [...]

I ordered my new computer! My old one is confined to the table until the new one gets here. I’m terrified that the frayed wire holding the keyboard/CPU to the screen is going to snap and everything will go bye bye. I think there is a way to hook a laptop up to a regular [...]

I’ve been thinking a lot about my grandma, which makes me think about pie. She was a fabulous pie maker, always insisting on having one ready whenever she was expecting company. For special occasions she would make cakes, but her real joy was pies. Everything was made from scratch from the crust to the pudding [...]

You know it’s time to clean the bedroom when I can’t stop sneezing all night. Can you guess what we did today? Can this blog get any more exciting? Vacuuming! Dusting! Cleaning baseboards! Why am I not a reality show star? Mike mowed and cleaned up the backyard a little. He came in and asked [...]
