Hey everyone! I'm back with another post...but without my camera cable. How annoying is that? I have tons of great pictures to download and can't! Hopefully I'll remember where I put it soon so I can show off my birthday present that just arrived today (and only a week late! *grins at the sender*). It's super fabulous...

Well, this is late and I don't have my pretty picture! I store all of those images on a separate drive and of course, I don't have it downstairs with me. Ahh well. I did tackle something today, though! I drove over to Hastings and visited the Secretary of State's Office. While there, I applied for my enhanced driver's...

Wow, I haven't done a great blogging job this week, have I? I meant to all day yesterday but then I ended up tackling bills (which would have been my post) and then got a massive headache and totally forgot in the end. Shoot.Well, I'm back today and I have exciting news. It's my birthday! Yep, 33 years ago, I was born....

It was just a bad day and I just never got here. Shame on me, but that's how it goes sometimes.So, last week, I managed to get some cooking...

Brrr...is it cold where you are? I wouldn't say that it's precisely cold here, but the house thermostat read 65 when I checked it a few minutes ago. I'm starting to think that it's time to start closing up some of the windows before I go to bed at night. I love this time of year, but I like to be warm and cozy, not waking...

Happy Wednesday! Is it a lovely day where you are? It certainly is here! The air has just that lovely little nip of cold in it which tells me that Autumn is truly here and I love it! I love sweaters and cozy blankets! I love hearing the leaves crunch underfoot as I go for a walk. I love hot chocolate and cold cider and...

Wow, I had a totally feeling sorry for myself day today. Does that ever happen to any of you? I tried to keep myself going, but I admit that it just didn't happen like I wanted it to. I'm not giving up though. I won't fall into the emotional rut that I have in the past. It's a scary place to be and I'm working at staying...

It's Monday again. Now oddly enough, usually I like Mondays, but tonight (see? I haven't even gone to bed Sunday night yet and I'm posting!) I'm missing my boys. Their dad picked them up just after 5pm today and it's left me missing them tons and seriously thinking about the situation with their dad and his new fiancee....

It's Friday! Yay! Ok, normally I'm not quite this excited about the end of the week, but today is special. I get to go and pick my boys up from their first week back at school. I can't wait! I miss those turkeys.Of course that also means I need to get a ton done today! Isn't that how it always goes? So far, I've managed...

Thursday..Thursday...Yes, today is Thursday. The holiday at the beginning of the week just totally threw me off. I have to keep reminding myself what day of the week it is. So, today is Thursday. The calendar has declared it and I will agree that it is so.Life is going ok here..slowly getting things accomplished and things...

Can you believe it? Summer is winding down..well, so the calendar says. To me, once it hits September 1st, summer is done. Then, if I let it linger, it is officially done once school starts. The boys started 3rd and 4th grade today. Roger got the teacher he wanted and I'm hoping that Ben likes his teacher. I don't think...

Ok, I confess. I've slacked off a bit with the daily chores that need to be done around the house. I let all of the boxes overwhelm me and the next thing I knew, I was just behind on everything! Well, I just told myself that the only way it was going to get done was if I did it. Sadly, there is no magic cleaning fairy...
I know! I'm late! Today was one of those days where it was a holiday and it changed my routine and I plum forgot to post! But, I'm going to make up for it right now.So let's see..news...no news. The van is still sitting in Lansing at the mechanics. As of this morning, they didn't have the part yet. If they get the part...

Well, it's here. One of the few days of the year that I just dread. Today is the "last day of summer" here in our house. Now, I know that technically summer isn't over for a couple of more weeks, but for me, it always ends on the day that the boys go back to their dad's for the school year. I hate today. As a mom, I feel...

This summer has flown by. The boys go back to their Dad's house for the school year tomorrow and it makes me one sad mama. We've had such a great summer together. We've gone nowhere, done nothing but we've had so much time together. The boys have learned it can be fun to play outside and that maybe video games aren't a...
Today was just one of those days. It started out so good. The boys and I had lunch, got the back of the van emptied, the table into the kitchen and headed out to Lansing. This really nice couple there had a corner computer desk that they were going to give to me (go freecycle!). It was about a 45 minute drive but worth...

Ugh! Where did allergy season come from? I woke up this morning sneezing, watery eyes and half congested. Dang nabbit! I have too much to do to deal with allergies. Hopefully a benadryl will help clear me up enough that I can get into things. I have a lot to tackle today!The big one though is getting the lawn mowed. All...
