Life, Family, Everything..
We’re at a lull in the adoption process for the moment. We’re waiting on our 2nd (and final) home study visit which will be in a couple weeks. But life still goes on! My husband’s grandma died last week, so he’s going to Wisconsin for the funeral this week. Next week Gab heads out to Utah for her cousin’s wedding. And amidst those things,...
Thanks to those who commented in my venting the last couple days. It’s great to hear what others have had to say. Yesterday I had an extremely wicked migraine, one I just couldn’t shake, despite a cocktail of Excedrine Migr, extra strength Tylenol and my favorite, Percoset. Hopefully it’ll clear up today. I hope any of you that live in CA are out of...
The rumor is Washington Mutual went under because of a run on the bank yesterday. Word on the ‘net is that there have been a few other runs around the country. Sound familiar? The government is trying not to say the word “depression”…instead they’re saying “recession.” Recession as in bald guy or just receding hair line? We learned about the Great Depression in the...
We decided to par down our grocery bill lately. This can be difficult for me, since I like to make a wide variety of foods and they’re not usually boring or repetitive. I like the challenge of cooking complexly. So I came up with a menu for the week and thought I’d share, just in case anyone needs some ideas. And if you have...
I sat down to write something and just couldn’t find anything to say. I’ve done the bit of politics (that’s as far as I get!), the animal posts (LOVE animals), the kid post (Halloween)…. So I guess I’ll just ramble for a bit. Hope you don’t get bored! I love this season. I love the holidays coming up; decorating, something to look forward to,...
So now in the political realm there’s a big stink about Sarah Palin running because she has kids. Since when did the Democrats think women should stay at home all the time?? They’ve held a strong point of women being able to work and raise a family. It’s typically Repubs that have the conservative view of women staying home with kids. One example they’re...
So everyone knows I have chronic headaches with a few migraines sprinkled in there for fun. Sometimes it feels like no one really gets what an impact these have on my day-to-day life. Every day, my choice is to feel miserable and in pain, or take a few Excedrine Migr. and feel miserable and drugged. The pain pills help with the pain, but don’t...
A recent report on FOXNews states that “In the last 30 years, the number of women age 40 to 44 with no children has doubled, from 10 percent to 20 percent. And those who are mothers have an average of 1.9 children each, more than one child fewer than women of the same age in 1976.” It also says that unemployed women had twice...
