This is My Life

You want to know what my life looks like?  Here’s a peek at the last two days.
Yesterday – Shorty woke me up at 6:30am, I only had four hours of sleep.  Siding and window guys showed up at 7:45am.  I had men in every bedroom and full bathroom window for several hours.  Couldn’t shower until [...]

Little Green Men

How a 22 month old sees the world:
“I see green man.”
This is how Shorty described what he saw outside our windows.  In reality it was a man wearing a green shirt standing on a ladder fixing our windows and siding.  I think I like my kid’s view on the whole thing better.

Convenience Taken to the Extreme

Okay, moms out there, here’s a question for you.  How many items have you spent money on because it was supposed to be a new product that made life more convenient for you?  I ask this question because I just received my new “One Step Ahead” catalog in the mail.  While browsing through it I [...]

Not Before My Coffee, Please

It’s that time again.  Election year.  I hate Presidential Election years.  Why you ask?  My husband.  I am married to a Republican.  But it’s not his party affiliation that I hate; although he and I do not agree on Bush and I lean more to the Democratic side.  It’s his need to tell me every bad [...]

Finally!

I finally got Big to make a decision on the basement contractor.  The final contracts are being worked on and we’ll sign them so we can get this job on the move.  I can’t even begin to tell you how happy I am that this first step is completed.  I got the first estimate on the [...]

Simple Pleasures

You know how sometimes it’s the small things in life that are so satisfying.  Today I had one of those moments.  For lunch I made some jasmine rice.  We don’t eat  lot of white rice in this house because Big has a cholestoral problem and he lost 45 pounds and is now trying to loose [...]
