The story opens with an early morning trip to an elementary school. The Multifaceted Mama has to be there at 0720 for back to back parent-teacher conferences for her sons, Scott and Ty. The meetings were set at this too early hour because the previous scheduled meetings had to be postponed due to a bout […]
Note to self,… A mug resembling a pumpkin may be cute, but may not be the easiest thing from which to drink the blood of life without dribbling. Yes, I learned that this morning. Fortunately, I managed to just dribble down the chin and not on the clothes! I bought an admittedly cheap mug at […]
Just so you know, 45 minutes of sleep is not recommended! Holy crap, I am tired. I want to go back to bed in the worst possible way, but I know that if I do, it will just lead to another night of me being bitch-slapped awake by Insomnia while Sleep stands there and cackles […]
Is it a bad omen? Is it a sign that things are not going to go well for me today when, as I am coming back inside after seeing the kids off to school, a crow dive bombs me and nearly poops in my coffee? I don’t know which would have been worse, a crow […]
♥ing my Soldier Daddy! It is the little things that make me adore him, more than anything else! I got online this morning and saw that he had left me a comment on my blog post yesterday and that just made my morning, just seeing his name there! I remember a couple years ago, he came home […]

I have been trying all day to blog and I finally realized my problem. The problem is that I have had nothing at all going on that is worth blogging about! Loads and loads of laundry just aren’t that scintillating to talk about. Neither is vaccuuming, doing the dishes, or nursing a sick kid. So […]
I think the combination of stress plus no sleep has come back to bite me in the ass. To say that I feel like I have a tribe of dwarves mining in my skull with very sharp pickaxes would be putting it mildly! My usual homeopathic remedy of cayenne pepper pills are doing nothing. Aleve […]
I broke my cardinal rule of not fighting with Corey while he is deployed, but stuff just boiled over and out it went. We ended with all the right words, which is important, but getting to the “I love you” wasn’t easy. I hate fighting like that, especially with him deployed, but sometimes the holding […]
Both are tell tale signs that fall has come to Northern New York. The Canadian geese hold one of their biannual conventions in a big field not too far from here, and I can hear them ALL NIGHT AND ALL DAY. There are hundreds of them that hang out partying in whatever way Canadian geese […]
