My "Real" Home

If you've come here looking for me.... I've relegated this blog as my vacation home (which I have no time to visit, sadly).

You can find my up-to-date and/or recent entries over at: Kini's Place.

Please stop by, leave a comment or two (or three if you're inclined), I'd love to hear from you!

A small hiatus...

It seems that I have taken a small hiatus form posting here. While the "reasons" are limitless, I really have no excuse. I was busy with my own things, the kids things, and preparing for an upcoming trip.

Do not worry though, I am back!

Are you sick

...of my endless whining about the weather? Gaawwwddd!!! Again? you must wonder....

Believe me, I am as tired of it as you are, but it is consuming my thoughts now.

WHEN will it be nice enough to spend the afternoon outside with my beloved children? That is such a loaded statement as anyone with pre-teen children well knows. My youngest would love to run and frolic and dig in the dirt or sand outside ALL DAY LONG! My oldest? I fear it may be like pulling teeth to get her to stay outside with us. And now that she has an iPod? Forget any interaction for a while.

Do not worry about us. We will be laying down the law about appropriate vs. inappropriate times to be wearing such musical device. We are, however, letting her bask in the warmth of having a muscial device as such. She had had an mp3 player (a MacVision 512, I believe) for a very long time until it died about 5 weeks ago. I am also, however, ECSTATIC to have my iPod back all to myself. (What a lovely, sweet mother I am to let her borrow it.... again and again and again!)

Until next time!

My weather order

...is still screwed up. Snow. All day long it snowed. Then it turned to a slushy, frozen, wet rainy thing. Mixed precipitation, I believe they called it.

Ba humbug! Enough with the winter weather. Bring on the heat already!

Today, I realized that my parents have been married for 37 years, today! What yucky weather they have to celebrate in. Regardless, Happy Anniversary Mom & Dad! I love you both very much!

You Got My Order WRONG!

My order has been totally screwed up. WHO ordered MORE snow? I do believe that I ordered SPRING!

Am I wrong?

Getting Older

My daughter is now 12 years old complete with all it means to be a "pre-teen" or "tween" or whatever the current buzz phrase is for this age group. Yes, we as her parents, are indeed enabling some of this odd behavior that us "old folks" appear annoyed with.

Huh? For example, she has hardly taken off her headphones from the iPod that she received from us for her birthday. *sigh* As much as I LOVE that we were able (and willing) to give her a gift that we knew she would love, sometimes I wonder, since the thing that annoys me terribly is having to repeat myself. *HUGE sigh*

My youngest daughter will be four soon.

She cannot wait.

I can.
