Read More Thursday’s To-Do ListToday was the first day we weren’t housebound either making phone calls or waiting for someone. I’m pretty sure that being cooped up was negatively affecting our moods and with all the things that have been stressing me out and going wrong lately I really didn’t need one more thing making me feel any more […]

Read More Hold PleaseThe switchover from our old dsl and phone service provider to our new dsl and phone service provider was not as smooth as we had anticipated. Frankly, I didn’t care so much about the phone, apart from being connected to our new intercom system I have little use for it. To my dismay I discovered […]
Read More Cutting Off My LifelineLittle Red baked some more toys Tuesday night. Fortunately I caught it early as I recognized immediately the smell of foreign items in the oven.

Read More Tuesday ToddlerdayA few nights ago I had a dream, in which, without any warning, my husband came home from a night with his friends and informed me that we were getting divorced.
