Last night, I was talking to my H about the most recent presidential debate, since he did not watch it (he had gone to bed early). I told him how combative the candidates were & how it's so hard to...

1st Quarter interims came out. DD is doing "satisfactorily" in everything. DS is doing well in most classes; a couple where he needs to make up some work or complete some things; improving in 3D...

Before I forget, I just wanted to record a couple of incidents.One is: DH was meeting a friend for a drink. He told me what they talked about, which included this friend going out with a girl, who...

Now I'm re-examining the things that I do for the family & ask myself: is this something they can do for themselves? What needs to be taught/shown in order for them to do it, if anything?So on...

As I stated on FB, the words "should", "ought to" and "supposed to" are banished from my list of valid reasons to do anything! If someone wants me to do something, I want to hear a good reason why.So...

Well, another passive-agressive comment from Mean Sister on FB again in response to an innocuous statement I made about something that has NOTHING to do with her or her life.Basically, I merely...

Instead of a coronation, you are cordially invited to a Pity Party.Well, the pain in my tooth has not gone away. Hasn't gotten better or worse, but I'm constantly taking Advil to stave it off. So the...

Well, I just got done backing up all my journal entries to Penzu, so if something ever happens to the DS entries, I can always go there.Some updates: my chipped tooth needs a permanent crown. Right...

Even though I'm a little under the weather, it was a pretty good weekend. Went hiking on the Appalachian Trail with my daughter's Girl Scout Troop & it was the perfect day for it! A little on the...

Another "lovely" phone conversation with Mean Sister (she is really earning that name!!). I call the other day to see how she & her husband were, since there were very severe storms up in her area...

As we were coming back from the amusement park on Monday, my son & I were talking about school & how he decided he wouldn't be dropping Sociology after all. I told him, "Just be sure you pass it."...

Today was the 1st day of school for both kids.  DS is a senior & DD is a sophomore.  I made breakfast for both, which they liked.  (It's also a good way to make sure my son starts on a good...

So, after continuously with the staring, the "I love yous", the grabbing, etc., yesterday as I was doing something in the kitchen, DH asks, "do you love me?" to which I answer (in a frustrated tone):...
