Well, now I know why DH was in his UW in the basement. Apparently, he works out on the new rowing machine in his UW. (Saw this as I was picking beans along the basement wall.) Weird, but...

DH has been kind of annoying lately & especially clingy. I mean LITERALLY clingy. Can't stop touching, saying "you're cute", staring. In & of themselves, this is OK--if they were spontaneous &...

Well, I'm back from vacation & have wrapped up just about all of that post-vacation catching up.Had an excellent time camping--no rain for 90% of it; just a little the last evening. The kids did...

Just a quick note to say that my son passed summer school!  Albeit a D, but a pass is a pass!So if he can just pass all his required classes this year, he is ON SCHEDULE to graduate!He's really...

 The Background Not sure if I wrote anything about this before, but it's been on my mind this weekend, so here goes... In November 2011, our pastor retired from our church. He was there for about...

 So yesterday, work mercifully cooled down my temper & I was back to my reasonable self. H talked about what a pain the insurance company was (I guess they called 3 times to ask the same questions),...

 Well, yesterday & Tuesday I was in a mood again & I've written it off to hormones. I told myself: "I've gotta CALM DOWN!!" So I resolved to have a better attitude. Last night, we all went out for...

 Yesterday I experienced a tidal wave of emotions & I'm still trying to work through all of it. So this may be long. My youngest sister just wrote a blog post about depression & anxiety: how she...

 This actually happened last week, so it's not a biggee, but just something I wanted to note. I was FB-chatting with my sister last week, all pretty neutral stuff. Of course we got to talking about...

 I'm realizing that a lot of what "mean sister" does is to project various thoughts/feelings/actions onto me, such as "how we were" with youngest sister when she was growing up, as I mentioned...

 Well, the kids' final report cards came in. My daughter's GPA went down just a little, but she still made honor roll. Her final exam grades were below expected, and that is because she wasn't...

It's a new day. I'm sitting in my in-laws' backyard in the country, listening to the wind rustle the trees & the birds singing. Since it's been hot & dry, tomatoes in the farm neighbor's field are...

Just a little mid-vaca vent: son was sweet for like 5 days in a row, but should have known it was too good to last. He was a complete annoying little monster today. I hope he "switches back"...

 You don't want to give me your list of matters to upload into the new system? Fine--your firms won't have anything to bill against & you'll have to create them manually yourself. You won't get the...

 Well, it's almost the end of the school year; the kids will be finished with finals tomorrow. Things are looking very strong that my son will pass English, so in faith I wrote the check & sent in...
