If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Sky got all four of his wisdom teeth pulled this morning while under sedation. The surgery went well, and he was out in under 40 minutes, just in time for me to take him to my parent’s house and […]

I walked into a grocery store that I never go to because it is expensive, and look what I found! My favorite tea! What are the chances of finding this brand, this flavor and in decaf in this tiny town? I have been sipping away…
Last night I started to feel inspired. Perhaps it is the […]

That would be me. One thing that I am proud of is that I never, ever, yell at my students. I believe it is really important to model respect, since I may be one of the few people they encounter who does this. Today, I broke my own code, and it hurt.
The day had […]

Really, it is very amusing to see one’s seven-year-old little macho dude doing shoulder and hip shimmies. He was doing it when he thought I wasn’t looking.

I haven’t been spending as much time blogging lately, and I think it is because the things that are on my mind are things that I’d rather not think about too much. Things like binge eating, which I have been doing too much. I am not managing stress well. I did order a bellydancing DVD […]

The kid who almost drove me to distraction with his game-playing cursing paper-wadding arguing self left today. Six weeks ago, if you had told me this child would be out of my room, I would have been singing and dancing in the streets. It was bad. It was so bad that I had him sitting […]

It is time for a nice superficial post. With the more pressing issues in life having pretty much been resolved, I am now free to focus on which chairs would look the best with the Knoll table that my mom gave me. It is the table that I ate at as a child, and probably […]

Last weekend we moved, and on Wednesday we finally got to go to court. It was a surreal experience. There was a group of men shackled and dressed in orange off in a corner. None of their state-appointed lawyers had shown up, so the judge asked them if they wanted the public defender presently in […]

Over my family’s head, at any rate. After several sleepless nights, two conversations with the woman upstairs and another call to the police, I have decided to move.
I have been put in the middle of the whole mess. Or perhaps I put myself there. The women who lives above me is on Section 8 housing. […]
