Senior Night

When my son started Kindergarten I was so excited. He was ready to go and frankly the private preschool was killing our tight budget. I didn’t cry like the other mothers in the hall. I was dressed up (unlike my peers in pajamas and hair rollers) and ready to go out to lunch with [...]

So Do You Wanna See?

The renovation is almost done. Just need to finish the base boards! So here are some pics.
Notice the baseboards are still missing. We bought the wrong size baseboard, so we had to go get more, and repaint it, and it’s currently drying. Should go up pretty quickly tomorrow, but I couldn’t wait to [...]

It’s Friday!

Enough said.
This has been a long week and next week is going to be another long week, so I don’t have much to say tonight. It could be the rain, or the cold. Even the dog went to bed early.
Hopefully this weekend I can get the rest of the renovation [...]

Where has this year gone?

Okay I was making sure my calendar I carry in my purse matches the one on my computer and did you realize it is the last of October?!? How did that happen? Just yesterday I was complaining about it being Christmas already and then it was Valentines and hubby hadn’t made a list, and [...]

I haven’t been doing well lately. For one, my allergies have been driving me crazy and I have had terrible muscle and bone aches. Just had my annual physical and guess what. I have a Vitamin D deficiency. The doctor put me on a supplement for the next six weeks.
So being a [...]

Here are some of my statistics.
People 16, 335
