On Thursday, I got some really good news at work. I got a promotion! I was promoted to the supervisor of my department. Lots more work, but also better pay. It was totally unexpected, but such a welcome surprise. But I’m busier than I’ve ever been! Before the promotion, I could have conversations with my [...]

 January 30th, 2010If you read my last post about fighting my traffic ticket, you’ll be glad to know it’s official — I won! Ticket is dismissed, and my money is being sent back to me. Best of all, no traffic school and no points on my DMV record. I’m glad it’s over. How coincidental is it that [...]
January 21st, 2010Okay, it’s not official yet, but it looks like I’m going to get my traffic ticket dismissed. Ever since I sent in my Trial By Written Declaration form, I’ve been visiting the court’s web site daily to check the docket for any updates. I’ve even gone so far as to keep track of the progress [...]
January 11th, 2010Going back to work full-time has required a bit of adjustment on all our parts. Whereas I used rush Felicity out the door each morning to get her to school on time, I find I am the one who is rushing out the door before she even leaves. Del has been getting the boys up early so they [...]
December 30th, 2009Today is the second to the last day of 2009. A new year begins the day after tomorrow. Each year, I wonder how that year will differ from the last. Other than the kids being a year older and me being a year younger. This time around, I’m starting the year with a change. Last week I [...]
December 24th, 2009To anyone who may be reading this, I wish you a truly wonderful holiday and a very Merry Christmas (and to some of you, Happy Hannukah)! As you can see, we took the kids to see Santa yesterday, and it appears, so did half of the other people in the country. We were in line for [...]
December 20th, 2009I’m so close to taking a break I can almost feel it. I had completed all my work projects and was all set to enjoy the holidays, when — you guessed it — I got called for another project. I could hear Al Pacino’s voice in the back of my mind channeling my inner Michael [...]
December 10th, 2009Today I became an aunt again. My brother, Ken, and his lovely wife, Kristy, are the proud parents of a brand new baby girl, Anna Charlotte. If only I wasn’t across the continent, so I could see her in person — although Ken’s done a good job getting lots of pictures of her. It’s Ken’s [...]
November 26th, 2009As I am writing this, I am hoping that each and every person had a Happy Thanksgiving. I personally had a very relaxing and enjoyable one. We went over to Del’s aunt’s house, and since it was in the 70’s, we decided to take advantage of the nice weather and do an outdoor Thanksgiving. It’s [...]
November 13th, 2009I was sitting on the couch the other night, when out of nowhere, Chase comes up to me, gives me the biggest hug, and says, “I’m so proud of you, Mommy! You’re being such a good listener.” I don’t exactly know what or who I was listening to, but it was just what I needed after a long [...]
