Sunday, February 6, 2005A Good DayI didn't sleep too well last night, but today was a good day anyway. I'm tired, and ready to fall into bed, but I still need to clean the kitchen, and I wanted to get off my feet for a minute and write. My duet this morning went well. And I have yet to see any "results" from the Colonblow...

His dad and I e-mailed back and forth, and we've talked to his basketball coach, and here's what we told him today. If he steals again, he will be suspended from the team for one game. He will still have to... Sign in to see full entry.Friday, February 4, 2005Bitter Disappointment, episode 2So, I got home at lunchtime today, and walked into another problem with my older son. Mom was out shopping with the boys today, and my son picked up a box of Tic-Tacs and put them in his pocket. Mom found them when she got home. When she asked him where they came from, he said that his dad gave them...

While things are still tight, and I still have a lot of outstanding debt, I can see things improving. I should be able to pay off one of my credit cards from my next paycheck, and another with the check after that, which will leave me...

This past weekend, I had such high hopes.... Friday afternoon, around 3, I was walking down the hall at work when it hit --- the sparkly pinpricks of an aura --- and...

While the younger son is at practise, the older son and I will go to the library. At 10:30, we'll pick up the younger son and go to a local Mexican restaurant for an early lunch. We'll then take the older... Sign in to see full entry.Wednesday, January 26, 2005Putting My Finger on the ProblemI talked with a good friend via AIM last night. (Thank G-d for AIM! She lives in MN, and I live in TN, so I can't just run over for a cup of tea and a chat, and I can't call her without smashing the budget to shreds.) This friend has been my friend and my ex-husband's friend for many years. She...

I returned some dishes to him, and he was really ugly about it. About a week later, he e-mailed me a kind-of apology, saying that the dishes didn't mean a thing to him, and that all he...

Wouldn't be the first time. On Saturday, I did tidy up, change the sheets, dust, and wet-swiffer the floors in all three bedrooms. And I cleaned the two bathrooms and...

The children will be with their father, and my son has no basketball game. So I am free to work on getting our house together from 8 a.m. Saturday until 6 p.m. Sunday. My first job will be to tidy our three... Sign in to see full entry. |
