Vitamins, Day One

Ask pretty much any doctor and they’ll all tell you the same: take a multivitamin each day for optimum health.  And although I try to eat healthier, the odds are I’m not getting all the daily recommended amounts of vitamins and minerals in my diet.  On my quest toward better health, I’ve decided to start [...]

2012

Well, here we are … I had just gotten used to 2011, and now it’s 2012.  Like last year, I’ve made resolutions — actually the same ones as last year, but also a new one as well.  I like to think of them more as goals than resolutions.  Hopefully I’ll have better luck with them this [...]

Guilt Trip

It appears that as the year has progressed, my well-intentioned weekly updates have turned into monthly updates, and in the case of this posting, an every other monthly update.  I sometimes wonder if I should continue keeping up the blog, mostly because I’m not sure anyone other than my Mom, sister, and friend Velma ever [...]

Life Happens

I started out the year so good.  I was prepared to chronicle my journeys throughout the year — to health, to wealth (maybe not so much wealth, but certainly to becoming less poor), and to more family experiences and a clean house.  I made my resolutions to post more often, to have one of those cute blogs that [...]

Room Parent Guilt

Felicity and Chase had Back to School night at their school tonight.  It’s a chance for parents to meet their children’s teachers and hear about their plans for the upcoming school year, learn about the teacher’s teaching styles, expectations, and policies, as well as ask questions.  At the kids’ school, it is also the night that parents [...]

First Day Of School

Well, we did it.  We made it through the first day of school.  Felicity moved to the upper level of the building with the “big kids”, and Chase moved into the big building.  He’s not in the separate area for kindergartners anymore.  When he was in Kindergarten, we’d walk him straight to his classroom, but [...]

The End of Summer

Oops, I did it again!  As determined as I was not to, I blinked, and the summer was over.  Since the kid’s school decided to go to a 200 day school year, they are starting school a few weeks earlier this year (you can guess how Felicity felt about that … not at all happy!), [...]

San Diego Bound

For quite awhile now, Del and I have wanted to take the kids on a family trip, but our financial situation prevented us from doing so.  Since last summer, we’ve been saving up what little we could with a trip to San Diego in mind.  San Diego is close enough to drive to, which would [...]

4th of July Weekend

Kenny Chesney has a song called “Don’t Blink” which talks about how fast time flies.  Don’t blink or else you will miss it.  Well I feel like I blinked.  Half of the year has officially passed and I barely noticed it.  Of course I remember specific moments and events throughout the year, but as a whole, [...]

When It Rains, It Pours

Being a temp worker is an unstable occupation.  You work an assignment, get to know the people around you, then leave without knowing if or when you’ll see them again.  You leave not knowing if or when you’ll work again.  If you’re lucky, you’ll have another assignment already lined up or will get one within [...]
