Boyfriend or Blog?

Since Lola jumped back into the dating world I have been thinking about finding a mate for myself. It's been a fleeting thought, here and there, throughout the years since my divorce. I have dated but no one seriously. There seemed to be all kinds of good reasons not to get involved with anyone. My divorce took two years and it brought out the worst

I Did Pretty Good

Not too long ago I was talking to my ex husband's wife, my son's step mom. This is not a rip on the new wife post so don't get all I hate my ex husband's new wife on me. I like this woman. If I was going to be replaced by anyone I couldn't think of a better person to replace me. Of course, she

I’d Like To Interrupt Your Winter

With a little bit of summer. These were taken at the cabin last summer. I miss summer. I was reminded of the cabin last night when I read this post on Theta Mom. I wrote a comment that turned into a post. It was way too long for a comment so I scrapped it and wrote something a little shorter. Theta Mom was talking about

Inappropriate Behavior

Since the school season started my daughter has come home each day announcing that she hates school. She has always hated school just like her brother did and pretty much like I did. So this news that she reports each day after school is not news to me and I pretty much ignore it. She wants to be home schooled but I don't have the

Dads Are Like….

Dogs. That is what the daughter told me last night. "Why are they like dogs, honey?" "Because they eat, sleep, and poop" Hmmm. First of all my daughter loves her dog Stanley more than anything else in the world. I am on equal footing with regards to my daughters love and the dog. The daughter also loves her father, not as much as Stanley or

Why We Really Need Health Care Reform

My daughter is feeling much better. Thank you to everyone who sent well wishes. She does indeed have the H1N1 virus though no one tested her, they just ruled out everything else. She does not have strep. Daughter started feeling kinda crappy Sunday night, no temp but she wasn't her normal self. This was not a bad thing at first since she sat still for

Too Much TV

I've been watching a lot of tv lately. I blame this solely on Michael Jackson. I don't usually watch much tv but I am unable to pull myself away from the tv when bad things happen. I love train wrecks, I am a rubber necker. I cause those back up on the highway when there is an accident. I can't help but watch. I want

Garage Sale

I need to have a garage sale. I desperately need to have a garage sale. Somewhere along the line I was designated the keeper of things in our family. Probably because I am the only one who is not a pack rat and I have the room. I don't anymore. Sure I have hung onto my roller skates and my vinyl records even though I

When Pigs Fly

The other night as I was working on my post about removal companies in the UK, I was startled to hear my daughter crying, loudly. She had been in bed for about a half hour so the house was quiet and I thought she was asleep. It was a real cry, not the kind of cry that means I don't want to go to bed

A Hypothetical

Here's a hypothetical question for you all. I'd really like to hear from the guys on this one because I am perplexed. There's this ex husband #2 (ok, so it isn't really hypothetical) he was laid off a couple of weeks ago and the prospects in this area are not very good. He has been given an opportunity through his union to go to Vegas
