The Queen Mum Lives

So I’ve hinted at ExcitingNewProjectThatIsYetUnNamed. I’ve got 500 million ideas swimming in my head and this morning I sat down to finally pull the trigger on it. I downloaded WordPress (.org, so I can customize…or more accurately PAY someone to customize…my template to my little heart’s content). I signed up with BlueHost for 1-year hosting. [...]

When your daughter wakes up from her nap with a 102.5 fever and a horrible croup-y cough, do you panic and rush her to the hospital? call every mom you know and ask them what should be done before rushing her to the doctor? rush her to the doctor and insist that she be seen at [...]

After all these years, I certainly can’t start telling her NOW that she was a good parent! When I was a child, we belonged to HoityToityPool.  Every day we would get in the car and be there by noon and stay all day, often ordering in dinner of pizza and staying until they kicked us [...]

When I get comments and emails expressing sympathy for something in my life, I often like to milk it for all it’s worth make sure that I provide updates.  My aloe plant is now just a little stump, but my sunburn is much better.  I still look like I’m wearing a red t-shirt, but it [...]

(I’m feeling very ranty) Dear Stupid, Silly, Horse-faced Woman Behind Me: I offered to let you go in front of me.  Several times, in fact.  You declined. Once you saw what I was up to, you had the option of changing lanes.  Instead, you chose to mutter under your breath, sigh heavily and roll your [...]

(Damn, now I want a peanut butter and fluff sandwich for lunch!) I am so behind on my memes, but the truth is I save them for days when I just need to bang out a post ’cause I got shit to do I put so much thought in to them that it can sometimes [...]

….because I know that this decision will be a source of unlimited pissed-offedness. We joined the YMCA today. Not exactly earth-shattering news, I know.  Except that just two short years ago, I cancelled my membership and told the Director that she would be ice-skating in Hades before she got another penny from me. What can [...]

There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.

Caution:  some serious self-pity & whining follows Something has to give, and I don’t know what it is…nor is there anything that I want to give up (aside from scrubbing toilets, but that isn’t really an option). I don’t know what has happened recently.  My children are still wonderful and I love my husband….I just can’t figure out [...]
