New Things
So, this evening Haley said she needed to talk to me and Tim after dinner. I called off from work tonight fakin sick, because I am just over the shit going on there, so this was an interesting co...
Today
I feel like, who is this person I've become? I don't even recognize myself any more. I don't know if this person is better or not. I just want to see a piece of me, to know that I am not so far g...
Just random
I am trying to get myself to bed at a decent hour so that we can cram as much bullshit into tomorrow as possible since its my mom's "last day here". Tuesday morning I am driving her to the airpor...
Just Life. Just Stuff.
OK, so at work we have these old ass computers running old ass Windows with old ass Internet Explorer and I keep getting messages from websites saying that they either don't support this version ...
Today
It's 5:10am. I should technically still be at work right now but I have figured out that no one gives a fuck where I am if there is no work to be done on Friday nights/Saturday mornings if there ...
Go Watch Orphan Black
This is my wish for you, that you get as hooked on this show as I am. It is amazing. Give it a few episodes and you will be totally hooked. We have managed to actually get current on episodes and...
John Doe
...I just want the John I know." Those are song lyrics by the way. I'm kinda obsessed with that song lately. Tim cleaned the kitchen today after I apparently looked like I was totally over Ever...
Friday, maybe?
Good lord, is it finally Friday? I don't even know. I have been on overtime since sometime this morning (Friday morning). I just want to crawl into bed and fall asleep because YOU GUYS. I am so ...
Sunday the 4th
I am going to try to restore my daily habit of writing, something, anything, even if it is very brief. Construction on the back yard is going so slowly. I don't know what is up with Tim but he i...
Oh Hai
Yes, I am alive. I live. I read you all the time. I just have such a hard time writing. I want to change that, I'm just not sure how. The kids are good, Tim is good, I am good, I guess. I think I...
A Plague on Your House
Spent the entire weekend in bed. Well, pretty much. I was up here as there to do things or supervise children but the Captain Tripps, it has had the most insane grip on this house. Tim was off Fr...
Overdue
I know this entry is long overdue. I have been so busy at work, I haven't had a "down day" in weeks, work has been insane. And that is a lot of what has been going on. I have been working 5 month...
This is what I do when I'm bored at work
I selfie. But only on Friday nights, when I'm alone, and I did my hurr and makeup. I force myself to make the effort to look nice once a week. The rest of the week I look like I'm horribly ill be...
Weekend
Just hanging out at home. Tim is trying to repair broken water pipes at the Little House. I hate that house. I hate this house. I want to burn them both down and move. Anyway. I have tomorrow off...
Little Update/Selfie
I look like a grinning idiot, but this is me now. I'm not in any real pain any more, but I still can't really eat anything. It isn't that big of a deal any more, it's just a new normal.
Coming Clean (this is hard)
Ok, this might not seem like a big deal to some people, but it is a huge issue to me and I've judged myself a lot over it, and I've been terrified of talking about it, but here it is. The alluded...
Reprieved
To my great shock and surprise, my boss called around 5:30 and said to just work from home tonight because of the weather forecast. Well, OK! Thanks to the Higher Power, that was much needed toni...
Want to be Snowed In
I'm sick to death of Winter but I am kinda hoping that tonight's Ice-mageddon leaves me unable to get to work so I can work from home. That would be pretty OK with me. I wouldn't be surprised if ...
OD regrets
I realized one of the things I am most sad about OD dying is the loss of diaries like Chuck/Blather's which will probably never be recreated anywhere. And Hicks. "It was a boring day." These are ...
Electric Blanket Woes
So, this Sunbeam electric blanket is about the best purchase I've ever made, especially when it is -11 outside, but I have discovered a problem the last couple of nights. It is like Ambien in a b...
Playing Hooky
I called off from work tonight, I just couldn't face it. We are in the middle of this big complex project but my boss's last day is Friday so everything is up in the air and chaos reigns supreme....
Maintaining
Things feel like maybe they are getting a little better, and I am maintaining a level of steadiness. Part if this has been helped by a sharp reduction in alcohol intake. Not cessation, but reduct...
I Don't Say It Enough
But I love you guys. If the world ends tomorrow, I want you to know that you truly mean something to me. Your life has truly touched mine, and my life would be so much less without your updates, ...
Marginally better
Yeah, I am not on the edge today though I am definitely not excited about going to work tonight. But I'm off for NYE and New Years Day so I can debauch then. I need to get in the shower and get m...
No feedback necessary.
I need 2014 to be something different, something better. I can't do another year like this. I can't. Man Jesus help us all.
Book Description
Love is the Steadfast Tin Soldier, coming through above all the odds. Love is open-mouthed kisses, and tears of disappointment, and perfect sunny days at the county fair, and quiet moments on the couch under a blanket. Love is only briefly new, and usually worn-in and a little ragged. Love is doing something little when you have no time for little things. Love is an e-mail from your husband calling you and your daughter little hobbits. Love is noisy farts and car dancing.
