Goodbye to a Dear Friend

This morning I received a voicemail at work from my husband. While he was setting out the trash one of the neighbors approached him and said that Tasha’s body was rotting on her back porch. Ironically, this was the first place that my gut led me to when she disappeared. I asked the young man [...]

Rain and Wind and Friday

“And the rain rain rain
came down down down
in rushing rising rivlets
’til the river rushed
out of it’s bed
and rushed right into Piglet’s”
Rain pounding on the roof woke me up at 4:00 this morning. Hopefully the wind blew itself out last night so we can use umbrellas. The elementary school I work at has issues with [...]

Thoughtfulness.

Yesterday afternoon I stopped by the mailbox on my way to meet the kids at the bus stop. Low and behold, there was a package there from Roxy. Curiousity got the better of me and rather than wait until delivering the munchkins (inaccurate term considering that the boy who stays with us is taller [...]

November!

A3 is much better and is heading to school today! She’s still very weak and thin. The doctor said she’ll need to take it easy for the next month and that she’ll still have coughing episodes. Halloween was wonderful and a good time was had by all. We left a bowl of candy by our [...]

Tuesday

Sorry for the lack of posting, but we’ve been quite preoccupied. A3’s flu has developed into pneumonia and the poor little kidlet isn’t feel well at all. There are still no signs of Tasha. We believe that she either fell asleep under the bushes in someone’s yard and never woke up or that the [...]

Eeyore

Hey there, time for the gloom and doom report! Just kidding, although that’s all it seems to be any more. A3 was confirmed with H1N1 at the doctor’s office and the poor little kidlet is very sick. My DH has been staying home with her in the day time and I’ve been watching her [...]

Changes

Just a quick post to update y’all on some changes. We’ve cancelled our land-line phone service and will be only using our cell phones from now on. If you need the new numbers please email me. We also cancelled our cable, much to the horror and dismay of my daughters. They spent this [...]

WTF Wednesday

I done broked my camera. Okay, so technically I broke my husband’s camera, which I’ve been using for quite some time. Last year mine (which was identical to my husband’s) suffered the same fate. Symptoms started with the lens not opening and closing all of the way. Next to go was the picture-taking button [...]

Random

I didn’t finish A2’s Halloween cat ears on Sunday due to multiple distractions. First, the girls came bounding into the house very excited and shouting out the news that DC had been shaved.  DC is our neighbor kitty who had some matting problems. He looks quite handsome with his new lion cut.  Now I want [...]

Three Day Weekend

Friday was a state school holiday so we all enjoyed a three day weekend! The girls and I slept in Friday (6:00am for me, 12:00pm for A1 and times in between for A2 and A3). We spent the entire day wearing sweats, watching television and generally being lazy.  
We also ate. This was especially important for A3.  [...]
