I think this is my home for the next 6 months...

Thanks Jac! Nice to see you again.

Mach is good...he's snarkily hoping he's not sounding snarky because I snarikly accused him of being snarky.

I've toughened up a bit & realized I'm on a totally different planet over here. And if I get a 2x4 covered in snark, then I have probably deserved it.



Not much to report today. I'm going to keep this a relatively computer-free day, I need to clean before my date tonight!


Go ahead, ask. I know you want to...








I'm taking my 93 year old grandfather to see a big band orchestra & then to dinner. I'm excited, I love Poppa & I love big band--it's going to be fun.



Okay, so S8 clled H last night to tell him about the kitten. H asked S8 if he could come up and see it. He also said he wouldn't be going to the races today because he has "something to do". S8--without prompting from me because I stay silent during these calls--reminded him that there were $200 worth of tickets & if he didn't go THEY couldn't go. Answer still nope. *sigh*

I did have to tell S8 later that unless H specifically asks to speak with me, don't just hand me the phone and say "Here's Mommy!". I know he wants us to talk, but I don't want him to get his hopes up every time. Poor kid.


I've been teaching my kids the basics of DBing the past two days. As in,

"Don't chase the kitten!",

"I know he's hiding behind the dishwasher, standing there yelling his name isn't going to make him come out any faster."

"I know you want to hold him, but he's scared--give him space."

"Let him check you guys out for a little while. When he's ready he'll come to you."

"Quit pulling his tail!!"

Okay, that last doesn't really apply. But you get the idea.


As it is the kids are bouncing off the walls & the kitten is still just dashing from cave to cave. Poor kitten. At least I'm getting the nooks and crannies of the house dusted. He's like a living swiffer duster.


I hope everyone is enjoying their day. I'm going to clean the house before the concert & try not to think of H.

I think today is going to be one of those rose-colored-glasses kind of days when it comes to him. I need to stay focused.

Talk to you soon!!
