Lady in a Small Town

Had a meeting first thing this morning. I can’t go into, because I fear confidentiality issues, but lets just say, you can be organized, you can be working hard to get what you think your child needs, but you are still delusional.
What dad says, “So when in the process will he be normal?”
Honestly!

I had 3 parent conferences today, thus rounding out my 5. Of my 5 kids (the sixth one is too new to have a conference) I got 3 moms and 2 sets of parents. I realized that all 5 of them live with both of their biological parents, although I am not sure […]

Blue #1 I forgot to blog yesterday.
Blue #2 I nearly forgot today, so I ran downstairs in the nude to get my laptop.
Blue #3 We forgot to buy a nose hair trimmer for my husband.
Only 2 girls showed up for Sunday school today, so after we did our lesson we did lots of crafts.  First […]

Random fact: Each […]

Random fact: When I was 8 we got our first microwave. I read in the book that to cook a hot dog you set it to 20 seconds. Of […]

I love my job. Really I do. And most of the time, I even like my coworkers. Actually, I don’t think there is even one staff member I would say I “don’t like” (anymore, there used to be one, but we have reached an agreement). But just like everywhere, I don’t […]

I don’t write much here because I don’t have anything in my life that is interesting enough to write about.  I have things that are going on in my life, but I am undecided about whether I should share them.  I never know who is going to read this and I am concerned about what […]

I finally launched my new look. I am a wicked perfectionist, so I didn’t want to put it up until I thought it was really done. I took all the pictures in the masthead. Most of them are from around my town.
This is not my post for the day. I will […]

Blue #3: It is getting cold.
Blue #4: We forgot to set our clock back so I got up earlier than I needed to.
Blue #4.5: I was still late […]
