What's Up!? 2007-03-27 07:07:05 A quick recap of some of the things I've been up to: We joined Netflix. It was a Valentine's gift for the boy, the girl, and the hubby. I've been feeding my West Wing habit and having a good time....
The Disappeared 2007-03-27 06:18:06 Yes, I disappeared again. Not that anyone but me noticed ;-) Not to be a whiner, but once again I got the wind knocked out of my sails by the wizard behind the curtain at the ageless project. See, I...
Isn't It Ironic 2006-10-05 22:21:14 It struck me at some point yesterday how twistedly ironic my husband's and my health problems are. All of the health issues I've struggled with over the past two years have been initially and sometimes continually ignored by health professionals.... Read more:Ironic
Homeschooling: Month 2, Block 2 2006-10-03 02:29:53 DS and I work together 3 days a week. He participates in a school district/homeschooling program twice a week. Through the school district he takes a Life Science class plus Spanish, Art, and a state history/geography class. Because of the... Read more:Homeschooling

Pain, Pain, Go Away.... 2006-10-03 02:06:45 My fibro pain is back. With a vengence. Especially in my upper body. And my face and head. I have a killer headache. And sharp, shooting pains in my face and neck. Also in my arms. And that impossible-to-explain-or-describe fatigue...
Breakdown 2006-10-01 21:15:58 I had a completely unexpected breakdown in church this morning. While sitting in the front row. And I didn't have a tissue. I was a mess. It was embarrassing. I just couldn't stop crying. I left as everyone got up...
The Nights are the Toughest 2006-09-30 06:31:46 During the daytime, things are busy. Life happens. The every day grind of getting children where they need to be, doing the household chores, tending to the mundane tasks of everyday life -- this is when it's easy to forget....
Devastating News 2006-09-28 07:00:25 I accompanied my husband to his appointment with his urologist today. He's been going every 4 months this past year because his PSA numbers have been increasing. Last year about this time his number was 6. Four months ago, his...
Another day, Another.... 2006-09-22 07:17:21 ... million things to get done. Don't you ever feel like you're just going to drown in all the work? For me, the worst part of being a stay-at-home mom is the manner in which nothing ever stays done. It's...
Back to School colds 2006-09-20 06:13:20 Sniff. Snuffle. Cough, cough. That's the refrain around this mother's house lately. DS and DD both seem to have caught the back-to-school bug. And now DH is feeling unwell tonight. He's already gone to bed hoping to sleep it out.... Read more:School
A Finished Chapter 2006-09-18 07:26:55 Well, the eBay chapter of my life is closed. I ended the rest of my listings today and ended all of my store-related subscriptions -- including my store subscription itself. Some of my store listings still had a few days... Read more:Chapter
Coming Up For Air 2006-09-06 06:02:13 Goodness I've been away for far too long. I've buried myself in my Wagglepop store efforts. The site is growing at an amazing rate and I'm actually having fun and enjoying the challenge again -- something that's been missing from...
Wagglepop Snag 2006-08-12 09:31:53 My Wagglepop efforts continue -- at the expense of my peace of mind and my health. The good news is I received my first Wagglepop sale on Thursday. It was a sale that I managed to redirect from FeePay (aka...
Time Flies By 2006-08-10 17:22:03 Has it really been nine days since I last blogged? So much has happened in that time. I had a birthday. And, yes, I got a new white 4G iPod Nano as a gift. I also received one of those... Read more:Flies

Breakfast Serenade 2006-08-01 19:55:22 What a lucky woman I am! Here I sit at the kitchen table about to eat a late breakfast while my son serenades me with his cello. Life is just so very good.... Read more:Breakfast
Hanna Woes 2007-03-28 19:38:46 Okay, I admit that I'm a junkie. A Hanna
Andersson junkie, that is. Their cotton is so luxuriously soft -- even something so simple as a short-sleeved tee shirt is a pleasure to the skin. We all know that our...
Check Your Phone Bills!! (aka SCUM ALERT: Agora Solutions) 2007-03-28 06:27:09 Here's one of those great "learning from someone else's experience" opportunities. This morning I was checking my phone account on-line. I've been using my cell phone quite a bit this month so I was checking my minutes -- those overage... Read more:Check

Bathroom Remodel 1: Hallway / Kids 2007-03-31 21:29:00 Our house was built in 1979. We purchased it in 2003. It's a 3-bedroom ranch with a walkout basement. The main floor of the house was all still original when we bought it 4 years ago -- original carpet, original... Read more:Remodel
April Fool's 2007-04-01 22:01:00 I'm not a prankster. I love a good laugh and I've been told that I am, at times, very funny -- and not always in the way that The Daughter thinks of me as funny looking or ridiculously out of... Read more:April

Doing The Impossible 2007-04-03 07:11:42 The Daughter is 15. The great state in which we live allows youngsters to apply for a driver's "learner's permit" as early as their 15th birthday if they are enrolled in a state-approved driver's training course. Early this year, as...
Numbers - revisited 2007-04-02 18:25:04 4692.4 is the readout on my trusty RemStar cpap machine. 88mcg is my current daily thyroid medication level. 1,274 is the current level of inventory I have in my store. 4 is the number of items I sold from my... Read more:Numbers
Prostate Cancer: A Wife's Story 2007-04-04 23:24:34 The ways in which The Husband's prostate cancer has affected our lives are nearly too numerable to count. Right at the top of the list would be the guilt and confusion that surrounds me like a cloud -- who am... Read more:Prostate

Motherly Advice 2007-04-06 07:14:11 Years ago my mother told me there were three things a woman should never lend out -- not even to her best friend (or maybe that should be, especially not to her best friend): her sewing machine; her vacuum cleaner;...
Household Hint #1 2007-04-07 07:53:02 Prelude: Socks. Such a mundane and yet personal clothing item. Some people, The Husband incuded, give not a thought or care to their socks. As long as none The Husband's toes protrude out of the end of his socks and... Read more:Household
Pain. 2007-04-17 23:41:05 I fell down the stairs on Sunday afternoon. I have no idea of how it happened. Suddenly I was on my back with my right elbow on the wooden landing and my right arm twisted around and I couldn't stop...
Ah, Family.... 2007-04-17 00:22:40 As I wrote earlier in the day, we just returned from a family reunion. It was a rather impromptu affair and included immediate family -- namely my three siblings, their spouses, my mother, my father and his wife, my husband,... Read more:Family
Columbia Mt. Rosa Hooded Down Vest 2007-04-17 00:05:14 During our recent family reunion trip, The Daughter borrowed a down vest from her Grannie. For the past two years I've been trying to get this self-same Daughter to try on and/or consider a down vest for her wardrobe. No,... Read more:Columbia
Wow! Another sale! 2007-04-18 05:25:59 Wow. I can't believe I just got another Wagglepop sale. If this is a sign of things picking up, I'm all for it! Even if it's just a temporary up-tick in sales, I'll take it. The buyer is yet another...
Wagglepop Sale! 2007-04-18 01:14:49 I had a sale from my Wagglepop store over the weekend! My only sale so far this month. Things are slow but then I haven't put much effort into my store for quite a while. I did a lot of...
Different Baskets or Lots of Eggs? 2007-04-18 00:35:39 I've been reading blogs and noticing how many bloggers maintain multiple blogs. A single person might have a photo blog and a weight-loss blog and a knitting blog. I address quite a few very disparate subjects: homeschooling, on-line business ownership,... Read more:Baskets
