So, how do you deal with a fat dog that only walks towards the house?
Yep, that’s right. When we took the kids for a bike/stroller ride this evening, I plopped the fat dog on the stroller’s bench seat. She rode until we got to the end of the street, then I took her down and [...]
I mentioned last week that the fat dog and I have a few things in common. One that I didn’t mention is that we could both stand to lose a few pounds. I could stand to lose a few more than she could, but I’m 5′4″ and she’s like a foot tall, so I’ve got [...]
At dinner, Sean was telling me about the daily drama at his office. One of his assistants was already in a bit of a tizzy after a client got worked up after she (the assistant) referred to a payment reminder as a “nasty gram.” While she was calming down from that fiasco, another client kindly [...]
After a week of almost non-existent schooling due to a “dry hurricane” and E’s surgery, I was looking forward to getting the week started off right. I got up, took my shower, ate my breakfast, put on a happy face (or, at least a slightly more spackled and less splotchy-looking one), and–answered the phone.

Thank you for your comments and prayers last night and this morning.
E~ and I were at the hospital this morning by about 6:40 (yes, I am insanely tired at the moment). I have to say, I was impressed. They got all of the paperwork done and did all of his vitals. We sat for a [...]
E’s surgery is tomorrow morning at 8:30. Even though it is supposed to be a simple procedure and he is only supposed to be under anesthesia very briefly, I am nervous. It is just a scary thing.
If you are so inclined, include him in your prayers tonight. Please pray for him that all will go [...]
Sometime in the middle of the night last night, the lights came back on. We weren’t here to celebrate, having decided that it would be better to stay at Sean’s dad’s house with lights, tv’s, and a shower. We found out this morning that everything was working again.
Since we had only taken one car to [...]
It has now been two full days since the power went out. We have seen the power company’s trucks in our area, but we still don’t have any juice.
Well, we have juice, but not the kind that powers our house. And the juice we do have is getting thrown away. Along with everything else in [...]
If I were some video editing wizard, all of the girly-men footage would be gone, and we would be scrolling through pictures of a toilet, a shower, a dishwasher, a refrigerator, light that doesn’t come from an open flame, and the internet (Oh, the humanity!)
Let’s start by establishing some well-known facts.
