This gets old

Today is another one of those days where I’ve spent much of it having a mini-panic attack. I don’t know if there’s actually a diagnostic term for something like that but that’s as best as I can describe it. Either way, it has paralyzed me for most of the morning and it’s getting old. Really [...]

I hate this feeling

Today is one of those days where I alternately feel like crying just a tiny bit or uncomfortable anxiousness. This morning I was feeling mushy and now, probably partially due to the coffee I’ve consumed, I feel incredibly anxious.
There are times when I start to feel so unorganized, both in the environmental and cognitive sense, [...]

Happy Birthday, Gracie!

Yes, I’m going to be cliche and exclaim, “Where the fuck did the last seven years go?!” We could also ask about the last nine (Iain’s age in a little over a week) or 15 (yes, 15 years married). But yeah, where is it, y’all?
I’ve come to the conclusion that I did not, in fact, [...]

The flu? What the hell?

Yes, I have the flu. At least I’m pretty sure I do. I ache like crazy, am hot and cold and my appetite is meh. Jeff came home early from work and took over this afternoon. I managed to take Iz to preschool registration but by the time we got home, I had to drive [...]

Madame Buttoner

Today is a very special day in our household. This morning my youngest child became a buttoner. Oh yes, she buttoned her sweater all by herself and she was damn proud. She insisted on high-fives until they hurt. Of course it was a play hurt but that girl wanted to plant some palm.
Our first day [...]

In a rather large nutshell

This is the fourth time I’ve erased and started over. Why a simple blog entry is so hard to start today is beyond me.
I’ve been really tired and depressed but I’m not sure exactly to what to attribute it. I don’t know why I think there has to be one sole cause for how I [...]

He’s an hour behind, I have all three children and none of us have eaten. They are now crawling the walls with the exception of Iain. I am ready to kill. Kill.

Borrowing from Colbert

In my quest to be entirely unoriginal, I thought I’d steal the concept of “On Notice” and “Dead to Me” ala Stephen Colbert and The Colbert Report. From time to time I roll my eyes or get truly irritated and fed up with things. (Okay, who are we kidding? I do this the bulk of [...]

Things I’m thinking about

My mind, not surprisingly, is rather full of squirly energy lately and there’s so much swimming around in there I thought I’d share with y’all (like that bit of Southern flavor?). What do you say? Are you up to it? Aww, come on; don’t be a chicken.
The house I was hoping wouldn’t rent before we [...]

Enough already

So finally Jeff has purchased some hard-core, over-the-counter-but-only-behind-the-pharmacy-window decongestant so that I can try and clear up this smoke smell nonesense. Of course he had to go to the 24-hour CVS because the grocery store’s pharmacy was closed. Here you have to show six pieces of picture ID, submit a stool sample and win a [...]
