Catching Up
With the new girl now solidly into her position, I'm able to spend time updating all of the projects that I've had to neglect. My desk at the office actually shows some desktop -- I've been filing and typing and trashing and otherwise banishing items from my desk for the past two days. It's lovely....

All Is Right With the World
My boys are home. God bless them. Them and their rackety, clackety, wackety ways. The house is strewn from one end to the other with their clothes, their toys, and their noise. And I couldn't be happier. It will begin to pall, and I will have to crack down and be Mom again in a few days. But right...

Discouraged
Mom's doing better and getting around well, but I'm kind of down. Part of it is that the kids are away. Their boundless energy is a tonic, in many ways, keeping me "up when I'm down." They are with their Dad for the next week, and I miss them. And part of it is sleep deprivation. I've been staying...

Me Poor Mum
I had to take Mom to the emergency room today. She was walking home from the neighbour's house and missed her step somehow, twisting her ankle. She walked on home, put it up for a while, and thought it was just a twist, but when she got up to fix lunch, she couldn't walk on it, and it was swollen...

Tired, but Happy
It won't be long now. We're almost back in the house. We unloaded the POD this weekend. 14 hours of work on Saturday, and 8 on Sunday. A lot of stuff went to the storage building nearby. It's still paid-for storage, but instead of paying $200 for the POD every month, plus the $65 for my storage unit...

Green-Eyed Monster Attack
I'm very happy for something that has come up for my ex, but I'm also struggling with just a bit of jealousy. Which makes me feel awful. How can I be jealous and begrudge the fact that something has finally gone right for him? Here's the deal. When we moved to this city in early 1997, he found a job...

The Begining of the End
Our little remodeling adventure is almost over. The linoleum will be laid in the kitchen this week, and the final painting and appliance installations will be done. The POD is already resting in the front yard, ready for unloading. The last few items of furniture to be refinished are in the garage,...

Working Today
Yeah, I know, it's Saturday. But an editing client of mine needs her manuscript marked and back in the typesetter's hands ASAP. So I'm editing. What's nice is, I reserached some tips for our favourite family video-game ( River King: A Wonderful Journey, by Natsume), so I can sit with the kids in the...

Are We a SITKOM Family?
If SINKs are single-income, no kids families, and DINKS are dual-incomee, no kids families, then does that make my family a SITKOM? (Single income, two kids, one mom) It would explain a lot.

TGTF!
Thank goodness tomorrow is Friday! I've been running back and forth between two desks all week, and I am SO tired. Still no replacement for the co-worker, which is only to be expected. Tomorrow will be two weeks since she left. Kind of hard to make a good hire for a key position in only ten days....
