Karate, Boy Scouts, and Soccer, Oh My!
We are so busy with different things right now that I'm not keeping up too well with blogs and other "extra-curricular" activities. But we are all happy and haivng fun, so I guess it's a good trade-off. Karate. Last Friday night, the children and I passed our karate rank tests, and advanced from...

Today I Am a Mean Ex
My ex agreed to handle Scout uniforms if I would handle karate uniforms. This weekend is New Scout's first camping trip. Ex kept telling me it was next weekend. I kept saying "Scoutmaster told me it was the weekend after Labour Day. This weekend." Guess who was right. (But I wasn't mean yet. I...

Tough Enough?
Well, kids, I just found out that I have type II diabetes. I've been pre-diabetic for years, and now I've apparently stepped over the line. Not too terribly far, yet. My doctor thinks we can control it with diet and exercise. I sure hope so. Need I say that I am highly bummed out by this? For those...

Baby Borrowers
Anyone else watching this "reality" show? I'm oddly fascinated by it. The premise is that the show takes some older teens who are in relationships and takes them through the insanity that is parenting in a sort of telescoped fashion. They arrived at their "home," and got settled in a little. Then...

Busy, Sunburnt, Tired
Working hard this weekend. Kids are with their dad. In addition to buying and installing MS Office and a 500-GB external hard drive on my computer, I've weeded the flowerbeds and watered the lawns (which is how I got the sunburn), made a huge batch of fresh tomato salsa, paid the bills, done six...

I Joined Twitter
Not sure why, really, but it sounded like fun. Find me here. I like the shortness of the posts. Sometimes I don't post a blog because I have little to say. Twitter will give me an outlet and keep me writing, even if it's only a few short sentences.

Chop Chop, Snip Snip!
Cut off the hair today. All of it. It was halfway down my back and was starting to give me headaches, so it had to go. I was trying to grow it out for Locks of Love, and apparently, according to my stylist, I just managed it. My hair is really curly, so it looks shorter than it is. But when he...

Lay off of Fat People, Okay?!
I just need to rant for a minute here. For the record, not all fat people are out there scarfing down enough food at a single meal to feed a third-world country for a week. Not all of us are slobby couch-potatoes who watch our expanding waistlines with complacent tolerance. Not all of us are lazy,...

Back on My Feet
I had my second follow-up visit with my foot surgeon this morning, and, much to my relief, he told me that I could take off "the boot" and start wearing tennis shoes. HOORAY! The boot does a great job of protecting the foot, but it makes you walk funny because the sole does NOT bend. At all. So you...

Returning to Life
Well, this has been an odd few days. I went in for surgery on Friday morning, and went home that afternoon. I was put to bed, and I didn't really wake up again until Sunday afternoon. I was only sort of awake on Sunday and Monday, and I used up the last of the painkillers Monday at bedtime. So today...
