That’s Life

Life returns to normal

Well, my weekend of blissful silence and peace is all over – – kids got home from their Dad’s a few hours ago and it was back to the grind of homework and chores. It was a much needed respite, though – – I do love my weekend solitude. There’s much to look forward to this week, and much to prepare for. Of course packing for Tahoe is the top of the list – I have to get all that done before Thursday night. I have a friend of ours coming to house-sit for the week I am gone. Basically […]

I had a nice trip, thank you

I woke up this morning and felt sore – – like muscle-achy. That feeling you have in the morning after a very grueling workout the day before. That first-work-out-after-a-year-of-sitting-on-my-ass kind. I couldn’t figure out why I was so sore. Hmmm….I definitely didn’t have a night of wild sex last night. I certainly wasn’t strapped to an X frame getting beat with a leather flogger. I know I didn’t work out. Well, I got up and went into my office and was drinking my coffee. I hit the top of my knee on the under part of my desk and felt […]

Duh

In case you needed further proof that the human race is doomed through stupidity, here are some actual label instructions on consumer goods. On a Sears hairdryer: Do not use while sleeping. ( and that’s the only time I have to work on my hair.) On a bag of Fritos: ..You could be a winner! No purchase necessary. Details inside. (the shoplifter special?) On a bar of Dial soap: “Directions: Use like regular soap.” (and that would be how??…) On some Swanson frozen dinners: “Serving suggestion: Defrost.” (but, it’s “just” a suggestion.) On Tesco’s Tiramisu dessert (printed on bottom): “Do […]

Happy! Happy!

Happy New Year to you, Happy New Year to you, Happy New Year to youuuu, Happy New Year to you. Isn’t this the time we are supposed to ponder over the past year and marvel at how much we’ve grown n’ stuff? Bah. I’m happy to simply state that this past year has been pretty damn wonderful. As a matter of fact, I’d have to say that this past year was one of the best I’ve had in a very long time. Not alot of chaos, no heartache and I’ve created an easier life for myself. All in all, I […]

Panic Sets In

Now that everything from this past week is resolved, for the most part – – I’m feeling a little panic set in because for the past week I have been putting off things that I know need to be done before C. arrives on Friday. EEP!! I know I know he will tell me not to worry about them. He’s unconcerned about the status of my laundry room – or the little stain on the carpet in the living room, etc. But I get funny about those things. I guess I feel that if I can get a whole lot […]

Public displays of grief

I have some pretty close friends in my life with whom I’ve allowed the walls to fall down with. Those friends know me and understand, for the most part, how I deal with life and things in it. When I’m happy, I smile and laugh alot. When I’m angry, I rant and rave alot. When I’m sad – I just tend to withdraw inside myself until I feel like it’s ok to express it a little bit. I don’t always express it – sometimes I just deal with it inside my own head and then let it go. I don’t […]

Now I lay me down . .

did dare to go to sleep about 2 1/2 hours ago, or so. Not bad. I expected much worse. Actually, I fully expected to be paged the very second I drifted off into never never land – – but at least I was able to get the 2.5 hours – – it’s better than nothing at all 🙂 Luckily it wasn’t a call that I need to go out on – it was something easily handled on the phone – – so now that I had to fully awaken. myself in order to deal with that phone call with any […]
