Wednesday, March 30, 2005Burned!I was getting ready for work this morning, fixing breakfast, and I picked up a bowl of hot vegetable soup to carry it to the table. It splashed. Boiling broth all over my hands. Two seriously burned fingers (as in, still red and swollen four hours later) and one rather painful palm. And I do a lot...

First off, the stuff to do at home is not going anywhere. It will still be there tonight when I get home. I can do it tonight. Second, it was Easter, and it was the day that my family had decided to get together and celebrate...

I was so tired that I didn't even get out of bed until about an hour before we had to be at church for the egg hunt. We came straight home (I got Easter stuff yesterday afternoon, when work let out early!) and I just crashed. I just have absolutely no energy. I feel...

And the living re-enactment of da Vinci's Last Supper was really incredible. Now I am looking forward to the weekend. I have a lot to do, but it's all possible. It'll take planning and careful scheduling, but it's doable. I'm taking the children to... Sign in to see full entry.Tuesday, March 22, 2005Growing UpMy boys are growing up. Day by day, they are a little taller, a little more mature, a little more "growny." (That's a Southernism. It's hard to define.) My oldest is growing out of all his clothes. His jeans are almost too short, and his shoes are too small. His suit doesn't fit anymore. My youngest...

He says that they will wear off as I resume normal activity, and that I am to make certain that I get at least eight full hours of sleep each night for the next several weeks. Sleep, of...

I went to bed late last night, so was tired all day. I got up just before 8 to see the kids off, then I read a book and ate while I waited for a friend to come practise a duet we are...

On the up-side, my vegetable soup was lovely, only I made enough for about 20 people. So I'm going to hold off on the ratatouille for a few days, until I've eaten up this simple veggie...

(See Oddments for details.) I was planning to stay on my Lemonade Diet for another two weeks, but my body said, "Nope! This is it. No more." So I...

The kids played in their sandbox while I cleaned up their breakfast dishes --- I made pancakes. There are an awful lot of leaves! We've already filled six construction... Sign in to see full entry. |
