A matter of interpretion 2008-03-07 07:00:18 Last night the BoyChild got up and went to the bathroom after I’d put him to bed. As he was sitting on the toilet, with his feet dangling down, I said, “what’s the matter
honey, are you constipated.” He said, “no Mom. My poops just hard.”
The Funniest Thing Said to Me This Week 2008-03-06 07:00:17 Conversation I had this week with a potential client whose business has tanked and he is getting ready to lose his house and his two forty-five thousand dollar cars.
Potential Client: I want to live in a double-wide trailer and drive a Ford Taurus everyday.
Me: You just described MY life. Read more:Thing

Forever Greens 2008-03-04 07:00:44 Today while the BoyChild was running errands, we came across a stand of evergreen trees.
The BoyChild insisted they were For Ever Greens

It was melt your heart cute. Read more:Forever
Working on many fronts at once 2008-03-03 07:00:04 The BoyChild has been on the ADHD drug for two weeks now.
It is helping.
Like many things with the BoyChild, it seems at first, the change is dramatic. But then it settles down to more like it was but perhaps a little better.
Removing gluten and dairy caused a dramatic improvement in his behavior. Then [...]
Is this weird? 2008-03-02 16:23:42 O.K. folks.
Tell me if this is weird.
When we went to see Enchanted, they gave us free passes because the movie went off two or three times while it was showing. These passes have no expiration date and are not just for the matinée which is where we got them.
I’m finding it difficult to actually [...]
Making Everything Right in My Life 2008-02-27 12:41:01 I’m thinking a cigarette would make EVERYTHING right in my life.
I’m having these images of a huge cigarette standing in the doorway beckening me.
I’ve not yet started to have the dreams.
The ones where I dream I’ve started smoking again. And I wake up and am all depressed when I realize it is just a [...] Read more:Everything

I need to get out more 2008-02-24 03:00:32 What does it say about me that of the films nominated for Best Actor or Actress or best Picture, I have seen NONE.
Of the three films nominated for Animated Feature Film, I’ve seen two.
Yeah. I need to get out more.
Oh the irony! 2008-02-23 13:53:24 I sent an inquiry to a blog I’d like to write for, 50-Something Moms Blog. I was talking to David about it.
As I adjusted the heating pad on my back, I asked, “do I know enough about being a middle-aged woman/mom to write an article twice a month?”
The irony wasn’t lost on either of us.
And god heard me complaining and smacked me down again. 2008-02-21 12:54:49 Remember yesterday? When I was complaining of the cold? And the ice storms that never come?
Well one sort of moved in today. Not a big ice storm but there was ice.
God must have heard me complaining.
On my way into the office this morning, I slipped and fell on the ice and landed [...]
The Socially Stunted 2008-03-12 08:00:58 A couple of weeks ago the BoyChild was invited to a birthday party for one of the little girls in his class. This was the first party he’d been invited to since he started at this school.
There are probably 22-24 kids in his class. EVERYONE in the class was invited.
At the GirlChild’s schools, [...] Read more:Socially
In praise of matching Spring Breaks 2008-03-11 08:00:15 The GirlChild is on Spring
Break this week.
Everyone else in the world, including the BoyChild, is out of school the following week.
Easter is March 23 this year. So that makes Holy Week the week when the rest of the world is out on Spring Break. Since Holy Week is so important to the Catholic Church, [...]
Help me out, please 2008-03-14 10:31:39 Will you take a moment to fill out a survey?
This is one for BlogHer Ads to find out who you are and what you are interested in.
It won’t take but a minute and would help the great people who bring the ads on the right side of the my blog.
You ever have one of those days? 2008-03-13 19:18:30 Today my banana was all mushy.
My yogurt had Splenda in it. And I HATE Splenda.
And my apple was bruised.
It was like the gods were conspiring to keep me from being healthy today.
Going to Day Camp for the First Time - Edited 2008-03-16 19:43:41 Tomorrow the BoyChild is going to his first, camp sort of experience.
You know the classes that spring up during spring break where they have a theme or an activity so the parents can work and the children can be stimulated during the spring break holiday.
This one is where the GranMa is an artist in residence [...] Read more:Going

Five Things 2008-03-19 08:00:53 Cyn over at The Sandwich Life tagged me for the five things meme. I’m not very good at meme’s because frankly, I’m not that interesting.
MonkeyInASuit tagged me with the eight different things about me meme. My draft is still sitting in my draft box waiting to be finished primarily because I can’t find [...]
Our first day at camp a success! 2008-03-18 08:00:03 Well I’m happy to report that the BoyChild stayed at camp all day!
He ate his lunch and even told me it was enough food.
He apparently didn’t work on his bird house until the afternoon; instead opting to draw pictures of birdhouses. But he did work on it.
AND!
He wants to go back!
So we’ve packed him a [...]
Why I don’t like to pay full price for movies 2008-03-17 20:00:23 Last week was the GirlChild’s spring break.
She didn’t do very much. I think I’ve mentioned the BoyChild’s spring break is THIS week so we’ve not been free to take off and do anything.
One day she came to my office. My idea was she would shred some documents I need shredded. Instead, she spent [...] Read more:price

Cleaning Out the Spare Room 2008-03-20 08:00:47 I’ve begun working on cleaning out our spare bedroom.
It is a small room completely surrounded by windows. I would like to turn it into a guest bedroom/computer room/ family room of sorts. A lot to accomplish for such a small space, I know.
I’d really like to move the washer and dryer up here [...] Read more:Cleaning

Happy Easter! 2008-03-23 13:39:59 Easter morning here was pretty low key.
Yesterday I took the BoyChild with me to my office so I could get some work done. David went to the Dollar Tree/Family Dollar/Dollar General or some store with Dollar in the name and loaded up on things that aren’t candy for the kids baskets.
Since the BoyChild can’t [...] Read more:Happy

Scripted 2008-03-27 10:55:25 I stole this from Amy at A Tad Polish. I thought it was fun trying to figure out what movies her quotes came from, so I thought I’d do it too.
The Rules are:
1. Pick 20 of your favorite movies.
2. Go to IMDb and find a quote from each movie.
3. Post them here for [...]
And Another New Drug in our arsenal 2008-03-26 16:57:35 I don’t think I’ve mentioned the new drug we are trying with the BoyChild.
Since we’ve been trying to expand his diet, and put him on the four day rotation diet, his behaviors have worsened a bit. I think it’s because he’s getting stuff that he hasn’t had for awhile that he’s still very sensitive [...]
Student of the Month 2008-03-30 08:00:58 Oh Wednesday afternoon last week, I got a telephone call from the BoyChild’s teacher. I didn’t really think it was anything bad because he’d been gone from there for hours, so he couldn’t be in any trouble.
The BoyChild had been selected as Student
of the Month
for his class! Yahoo!
The very cynical me [...]
I wonder in what world my doctor lives 2008-03-29 08:00:18 Today I took the GirlChild to the doctor to get some of her medicines refilled.
They always insist on putting two of the prescriptions on one prescription pad/note/whatever you call it even though I’ve asked them before to put them on separate ones.
You see the GirlChild doesn’t run out of her different medicines at the same [...] Read more:wonder
Now would be a good time. 2008-04-01 14:35:06 I know I’ve whined before about quitting smoking. Well I’m here to whine again. I am having terrible cravings for a cigarette.
And you know the really sad part? I can’t remember the day I actually quit.
The first time I mentioned it on my Blog was 1-10-08. But I think I’d [...]
Making me forget about being sad 2008-03-31 08:00:27 This weekend, after 5:00 Mass, we went to the mall to eat dinner.
There is this one place in the food court where the BoyChild can eat that doesn’t seem to bother him. And that’s where he wanted to eat tonight.
But today was not his potato day. So he couldn’t have the french fries [...]
A Night On The Town 2008-04-04 20:37:24 I’ve been busy at work lately. I was asked to teach the Basic Bankruptcy Seminar and I’m trying to put my materials together and still work. And. Well something else is afoot that I can’t write about. Nothing bad. Just not something I can talk about here. So in the mean time. I’m going to [...] Read more:Night
The Conversation 2008-04-08 14:23:20 This originally appeared on September 14, 2003. The GirlChild would have been about 9 and the BoyChild would have been about 15 months old. My brother, RangerDoc, was in Afghanistan. DogDoc is my SIL and RangerDoc’s wife.
Last night the GirlChild and I were laying in her bed talking over her day.

Getting dissed at the Mall 2008-04-13 20:09:21 This vignette originally appeared October 23, 2003.
I think I got dissed this weekend by the 12 year old working at the Clinique counter at the mall.
I needed some makeup, mine having reached that dreaded barren bottle status. Even leaving it balanced on its top all the time, it still wouldn’t give up anymore makeup.
Time to [...]
