Registration was this morning between 9:30-12:00. So this morning, I get up, dropped the baby off at daycare, came home, dressed and then cleaned my house. I did the dishes, made the beds, swept the floor, watered the flowers until about 10:30. That’s when I thought, “Gee Googie, do you think you might want to [...]

I went to a pre-orientation activity today, and met some of my classmates. It was a “service day” where we volunteer around Boston. Since, I am shy I thought that might be a good way to get to know people.
My classmates were shockingly young. I felt pensive and somewhat vulnerable talking to them. It’s always [...]

So after reading my last blog post, my wife comes up to me and expresses shock and dismay that I voted for George Bush.
“It was the first George Bush,” I remind her.
“But still,” she insists.
“I was 18. I’m from a Republican family.”
“I guess I am just surprised. I have always voted democratic,” she says, real [...]

I didn’t sleep all night because I was (still) in pain. Around 4:30 am, I get up and go to the freezer. I grab a bag of frozen vegetables and lay back down with it on my face. I feel better, and think I can finally get some sleep. Doze off, but at 5:05, guess [...]

As I mentioned, I had my wisdom teeth removed yesterday. I have never been in a fist fight, but I assume this is what it would feel like the day after.
My wife and son have gone to our niece’s birthday party. I am holed up at home with a bag of frozen broccoli [...]

I am trying to get all of my doctor’s appointments in before school starts. I’ve had two dentist tell me I should have my wisdom teeth removed, though, I am not really sure why.

I had just about a perfect day today. I have a to-do list a mile long, but I decided that Tuesday was 100% little guy’s day.
So in the morning, we went to the local playground. He ran around with the dog, and then we had our morning nap. When he woke up, I feed him [...]

Dropped off the baby at grandma’s. We were going to bring him, but after he screamed all the way to Phoenix on the last flight, we decided to go sans baby. I miss him already!
I am getting even more neurotic too. When Jen suggested leaving the baby home, my first thought was, “Good idea. If [...]

Praying for it. That I may forgive those who trespass against me, and forgiveness for myself, for my trespasses. I have come to understand that it is one and the same, forgiving myself, forgiving others.
Is this a sudden conversion? No. But I am a practical girl, and right now, I need a Higher Power. Years [...]
