What to do?

It’s 6:30 on a beautiful autumn evening.  The air is crisp breezing through the screen door.  Shaunna is at her father’s, and JJ and Bekah are outside playing until dinner is done.  The athletic field is full of teens playing football; Black Sabbath is wafting in through the background, mixed with the sounds of fans cheering.  Nothing like [...]

Anonymity

I haven’t posted much lately.  I am experiencing trouble opening up knowing that there are people out there that know me and could be reading this.
I had a friend call me about my post on my custody arrangements with Jim.  He was concerned that because I post my blog entries on my Facebook page, my oldest [...]

None of Your Business

When I tell people my children are 16, 7 and 5, inevitably the question is asked.  “Do they all have the same father?“
Do people have any idea how rude this question is?  It always makes me wonder, “Am I a better person because they all have the same father?”  Is there something wrong with my sister’s [...]

Big Weekend Plans (Part Deux)

Looking over the list of chores I set out to accomplish this weekend, I realize that no where on that list was “Buy A New Car.” However, after taking Dawn’s advice over at Fighting Foreclosure on How to keep your car on the road, that’s exactly what I did yesterday.
I dropped the van off Friday [...]

Welcome

I wanted to welcome the two newest readers to my blog – my ex-husband Jim and his new wife, Nancy.  Welcome!  I would love to know from Jim and Nancy, if they have the guts to answer.  Why on earth are you even interested in what I have to say?

Talent Show

Thursday night is the annual talent show at JJ and Bekah’s day care center.  It is the cutest thing to see these kids get out on stage, strut their stuff, proud of all the work and rehearsals they spent over the course of the last few months.
Thursday is Jim’s day.  The day care has been trying [...]

Procrastination

I am such a procrastinator.  I wasn’t always this way.  But now…I don’t want to do anything. 
We’re leaving for Disney tomorrow.  I’m not even packed.  The kids are packed.  I’m not.  I would rather waste time reading blogs and writing this post, surfing Facebook and balancing my checkbook than pack.
Laundry is only 1/2 done.  I [...]

Job Hunting in this Economy

I’ve bit the bullet.  I’ve posted my resume on Career Builder again.  And I applied for two jobs on Friday and another job today.
Plus, I received a call from a headhunter today that does permanent placements only.  No temp-to-perm or temp-forever positions.  I emailed him my resume when I got home tonight.  He has an [...]

What is wrong with me?

I so look forward to every other weekend when the kids are with their dad.  I figure I’ll relax, sleep in, get the house clean, do something for me.  But it never happens.
Yesterday, I was up at 8:00, and the kids were gone by 9:30   (Only 1/2 an hour late, but who’s counting?)   I surfed [...]
