It’s been a while (again) since I’ve done a bullet Sunday and this particular Sunday is a perfect time for one since I just have a bunch of random stuff on my mind. Hot - It was blazin’ hot this weekend. Record temperatures yesterday at 101 degrees. I have missed the warm sunny weather. But 101 [...]

So it’s been a crazy week. Just lots of crap going on. I think I have figured out the source of my getting random zits now and then… STRESS. I really WILL need to look into the best acne treatment if this keeps up, lol! Lets see… the clutch went out on our car. I tried [...]

This deserves it’s own entry. As we were backing out of the parking lot at Costco today, we heard someone beeping their horn incessantly. It sounded close so Jack stopped. He was already backing out very slowly as we always do, but couldn’t figure out where the beeping was coming from. Finally we realized it was [...]

Tomorrow is Father’s day and also Kayla’s graduation party, and also Katherine’s birthday party. (Why not combine everything into one? Besides, Kayla leaves for California/Disneyland on Tuesday morning so it’s this weekend or never…) As such today was the only day to get caught up on laundry, get the house straightened up, fix the window [...]

Stressful times are back. So it seems… “These are the days of our lives.” … Seems there’s some sort of drama going on everywhere in our lives right now. We’re not directly involved in all of it, but it just seems to be everywhere. It’s enough to make one wanna pack up their luggage (I wouldn’t [...]

Dear family, You know me well. As such you know that I can’t and won’t function in a messy house. I’ve been saying that all your lives and I’ve explained it to you one billion times. Maybe two billion. You say you want clean clothes? No problem. Simply put your dirty laundry in the laundry basket, NOT [...]

That’s what she keeps saying, and it just trips me out. Our little girl… who’s the oldest little girl in our family, will be graduating from high school Friday. Then, shortly thereafter she’ll be taking the long trip to Southern California for an internship at Disneyland. I’m a Disney lover. Always have been. It’s the happiest place [...]

I’m still in my funky mood. I would almost say bordering on depression… Things are slowing down in some areas so there isn’t as much stress in our lives, but we’re getting busier in others and lots of good stuff happening, too. So there really isn’t any reason for me to be in these moods… [...]

Our kids have been a little nuts lately behavior-wise (when I said they were having a quiet week yesterday, I meant as far as plans/friends over, etc. goes). Some are just having minor issues, here and there, and some might be thinking about getting a life insurance quote if they don’t get their act together. [...]

I have to work late today as I’m covering someone else’s shift. It was nice to have a quiet morning alone to get things done. Except I got nothing done. I didn’t clean, do laundry, polish the furniture and baseball trophies (if we had any) or do dishes. I goofed off the entire morning. I [...]
