I Feel It's Important To Mention

With the fifth anniversary of our invasion of Iraq upon us, I just want to mention that my (ex)stepdad has been sent back overseas yet again. We don't talk very much for reasons that I'm unable to fathom or think about. His issues, not mine, keep him away. But I'm glad he called to let me know that he was being shipped to Iraq again. Although he knows I love him and think about him often, it was good to be able to say the words directly to him. Be safe, D and come home soon.

In The Harsh Daylight

Why is it that all the plans and resolutions I make at night seem so impossible when I wake the next morning? I am in a class by myself when it comes to lame excuses.

A Happy Ending To A Mediocre Monday

A 13 hour surprise stopover on the way to Atlanta? Awesome. Sure, I was sleeping for 8 of the hours and had another obligation for 3 more but there's no way I'm complaining.

At Least We Avoided Any Pinching

Ahh, Monday. The official return to reality (though really it started at 7 last night), the return of spring soccer practice, and the beginning of my 4 year old deciding that tantrums seem like a good way to get what you want. I've gotta say, the day started off mighty shaky but it worked itself out. Everyone went out in the world today wearing green and looking for leprechauns and returned home in a better mood. Including me. So, can I manage this for a few more months? A potentially even harder few more months? Maybe. I hope so.
