D day has come and gone. Mom arrived yesterday after much ridiculousness. They would have been here around 6pm except my brothers kept getting themselves lost and having to call Nichole's husband for directions. lol So they didn't arrive until near 10pm. omg Next fun thing......... Mom was...

...with all the commotion. I"m not kidding when I say Rufus is HUGE. He can drag both me or Travis down the street easily if he wanted/needed to. *sigh* I need to do whatever I can to make this work with Rufus. When I adopt a furbaby it is with the full intention that it will be until they...

Rufus turned a year old March 15th. I've had him since he was 5-6 wks old. As I watched Rufus grow up I began to notice odd symptoms. Under 6 months the symptoms were not present. I know because we do all the same things with him now that we did then, we just have to severely modify it now...

PCs sister in law's mother was blind, she acquired a very rapidly growing cancer a couple of months ago. There was no real treatment and no cure. Not long ago.......and I'll use her name because for this it really doesn't matter......Beth posted on fb for help with the upcoming funeral expenses...

...is sold. Otherwise it will be the nightmare sis in Texas had. The move here will be traumatic enough without making it worse unnecessarily. Know what I mean?? *Note for those who don't know, Mom is a paranoid schizo untreated / unmedicated who functions fairly well except under stress, real or imagined...

Rufus, as healthy as he seems to be, has a tendency to collapse after his walks, no matter the weather or how long or short the walks. He also has excessive heavy prolonged panting.....to the point of foaming at the mouth. Has been known to vomit. Travis and I both came home and started...

Maggie is 2 yrs old. (wow that was fast!) She is her own "person" but so like Molly that I often accidentally call her the wrong name. She seems to understand and forgive me for it. She is my simply amazing girl. She plays soccer, ball, loves to play frisbee and if she perfects some of her...

I know I don't post much these days. But work consumes much of my life.......both home and actual work......and it doesn't leave me much time for anything else. I realize that Katie is never going to change. I do. Most of the time I am fully detached and can handle it just fine. She is who she...

Over the years I have had many many children in my home since I was usually the only stay at home Mom in the area. My kids friends, difficult child and easy child alike, hung out and slept over. Some more so than others........some it seemed never really wanted to go home. When they were here they followed the same...

...do with it. Somehow I"m the bad guy. Go figure. So now there are supervisors at work giving me the evil eye. I suddenly find myself getting the sh*tty assignments. My so called "friend" gives me the cold shoulder and won't say crud to me for a week. Then the next week only has nasty remarks...

I was looking forward to March. (damn is it march already???) But winter is not done with us yet........even though we're teetering on breaking the record for snow fall in a single season. New storm is due to hit I believe tomorrow at some point. They keep changing it and each time they...

...rather lengthy in title. It is almost comical. "Almost" except for someone who would like to just stick to the job they're doing as general labor. *sigh* Also, when you bid for a job, you're not just bidding for one job regardless of what you put on the application. You're bidding for all...

I have a fabulous wardrobe of really nice top name brand clothes. The problem? They are now several sizes too large for me and if I attempt to wear them........I look ridiculous. A while back I bought a few tops and jeans. I staggered the jeans sizes down to a size 10. I was losing weight at a...

This storm was supposed to be nothing special....... Forecast started out as "a dusting" to perhaps an inch. Then progressed to 3-5 inches. Then later to 4-6 inches. I think they just threw up their hands at that point. There is a good 7 inches on the ground and while the heavy snow seems to...

My mom calls me last night and informs me that she has been in hospital since thursday. It took nearly a half hour to get her to stop talking in circles and tell me that she fell, did a face plant on the front sidewalk because she was scared to try to catch herself with her hands due to breaking...

...Feedback certainly seems so and they've not yet seen one. I've also located a local shop or two that will probably sell the bitty baby/american girl clothes I make. I hope to talk to them tomorrow. :) And while I like my job, my eye is once again searching for something better/closer. *sigh*

Katie will always be Katie. I've accepted that, I've made my peace with that. But that doesn't mean that there aren't times when her behavior, her warped way of thinking or whatever it is, gets to me. M has been out of work since probably November. Of course Katie only admitted this after a...

Just got to love these ever rising prices, especially food and utility prices. Not. Due to my ridiculously low income, I don't shop "normal". I also have to say the way I changed my shopping some approximately 3 yrs ago has literally saved my backside. But even many of these practices have...

I arranged to have Katie's birthday dinner on sunday. It's not a big deal, just soft tacos......easy to clean up/easy to make. As much an excuse to get everyone together as anything. I don't usually give adult kids gifts for bdays, but I do try to acknowledge the day this way. Know what I mean?? Now Katie...

...up all the ingredients Katie had not picked up which was 95 percent of them. I literally wanted to dive over the table at the girl........girl......*cough* "woman" and wrap my hands around her throat. It was the manner in which she said it........so la dee da.....it was her behavior the whole...
