I have a really bad habit of leaving my mugs and water glasses lying around. See that coffee cup on the classroom shelf? That'd be Maggie's from two days ago. See that glass on top of the dresser? Yep, that one's been there just as long.What's worse, there is usually a half inch or so of liquid still in the cup, which either A. Evaporates away, … [Read more...]
To the Brink and Back Again
Last night I hit a bit of a low. It’s winter; it’s (very nearly almost) post-Christmas; we’ve got a bad case of cabin fever.Their creativity is a mark of their genius, I’m sure.Still. Why can they be creative and neat? So I ate.And I ate.And I ate and I ate and I ate and I ate.Feeling dull (mentally) and thick (physically), I crawled into bed at … [Read more...]
Tempted (the Advent Version)
I am tempted to think that, in my Back-to-Back Birthdays post, I made you feel guilty with my reference to taking last-minute Christmas card photos.That it's only December 2nd, for heaven's sake.That there's plenty of time to take this photo but now you feel More Pressure. Thanks a lot, Minnesota Mom!Am I being ridiculous?If so, I'm used to it.But … [Read more...]
He Said/She Said (Part II)
[Read Part I here.]I realized, as I spoke to the police officer, that I was wrong in my recollection of what had happened—completely wrong. I thought the man in the car in front of me had been traveling east as I had been, when in fact he was in the west-bound lane. He had spun out into my lane upon impact.How humbling to admit to the officer that … [Read more...]
He Said/She Said
Yesterday morning, on the way home from my holy hour at 6:00 a.m., I witnessed a two-car accident.It was horrible—not because anyone died, thank God, but because I thought someone had died. One of the cars spun out in front of me and the passenger-side door flew open. As I slowed to a stop behind the sedan, the driver (who appeared to be a man in … [Read more...]
Pathetic and Desperate
Yep, that’s me.And were it not for the occasional comment like hers—and yours—I would probably stop seeking proof that you were out there altogether.No, I wouldn’t.Yes, I would.No, I wouldn’t.Okay, fine. You have probably figured out by now that with this blog, anyway, there are no guarantees. I do apologize for last night’s pathetic, desperate, … [Read more...]
And also…
...because I've had that glass of wine, I'm going to just say it.You're not COMMENTING!Are you still out there? I miss hearing from you. … [Read more...]
Steam of Consciousness
So much to say, so little time to say it...Anthony--I mean, George--is a great big needy thing these days. We were at piano today for two & a half hours and, well, it was all I could do to keep him from shrieking. Poor Angela. She was so bored that she was reading a book upside down and I could tell--I could TELL--that all she needed was some … [Read more...]
Feeling Social Saturday: Blog Management
So I broke my blog fast yesterday with a fairly lighthearted 7 Takes post. Truth is, throughout the three weeks of my time offline, there were some days that went very well…and there were some days that didn’t.Truth is, there were days that felt very lonely.Truth is, I’m addicted to blogging and all the bipolar highs and lows it brings.Now granted, … [Read more...]
Hey, Google Reader Readers!
Did you notice that I changed my settings back to full view?It was fun while it lasted, having it on "partial view." I saw my stats triple and that was titillating! Still, in the end I just felt...greedy, and so I am switching it back to the way it was.You're welcome. … [Read more...]
