Sunday, August 28, 2005Another haircut on the planning, but this time I am going to have to lassoand tie my child to a chair! The highschool at which my young son will be a freshman starting tomorrow has issued new "strict" guidelines for dress. Unlike the three previousyears during which the boys were allowed to wear long hair, mohawks, ponytails, bangs down to their nostrils, the hair must...

Amazing how a family can come together and find ways to help each other save a little money in hard times like these. I asked everyone to cut back on their electric usage...you know, turn the fan off when you leave...

I vaguely remember that once, I too had no concept of time. Now my body tells my brain, hey I am tired. Put me to bed. Then my brain tells my body, I am tired too; do it yourself! For those of you wondering what I am talking about--oldest daughter...

That will be a major drag and drain. The school is a good forty minutes from my home. I don't know which I dread more, the extra cost for fuel or the extra time I get to spend on the...

I sucked it up because I knew that in less than half a mile we would be coming to an...

Okay, not to be sexist, so, doesn't anyone teach their girls to respect the opposite sex (choke, choke)? I know some of us are doing their parental duty by teaching the difference between right and wrong. I...

Everytime I try to use my internet access, I am tormented with the wait from hades! Like, i am not patient in the first place, the wait is making me less patient, and then I am impatient!!!!! I think it is because it is May....or at least, that is... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, May 3, 2005The Easter basket that keeps on giving...and giving ...andgiving.... This is the comment that I received from my daughter about 5 minutes ago. Yes, I know Easter was way back then, but I haven't been home much, and so, the baskets sit with their gaping bellies of emptiness. Only now, they aren't so empty. I found a few things that I wanted to have someone...

As usual, we were running out the door with only just enough time to jump in and go. And I couldn't see! Argh, the day better get better because if it keeps going this way, I am going to be grumpy...

What better than fresh cupcakes? I had wanted to get started on them right away, but hubby wanted to watch a dvd....a really long dvd...and I had to watch... Sign in to see full entry. |
