Fall in Florida. That means wet, and if we’re lucky temperatures that dip below 80. I had the doors and windows open for almost an hour this morning before it warmed up into the high 80’s and the heat drove me to turn on the air.
So if fall won’t come to me, I’ll [...]

What a week. Not a bad one, just a long one. I think the 4 hour nap I needed (only 3 hours after getting out of bed) tells just how exhausting it was for me.
I’ve got 3 13 year old boys in the house tonight. And you have a dirty, dirty mind [...]

And on the seventh day… I cleaned.
When did Sunday become a day of cleaning?  You’d think, since I work from home, that any day could be cleaning day.  And that Sunday could be all about the resting.
It isn’t like I don’t clean on non-Sundays.  Dishes, laundry, vacuuming, they happen daily.  Ok maybe not daily.  Semidaily.  [...]

No picture today, because I’m just not feeling good enough to do the whole Find a Picture, Upload, and Link bit.
Add “me” to the list of things that have broken in the house this week.
Some kind of nasty throat / cough / headache / fever ickiness sent me to bed at 8 last night, and [...]

Things that have broken in the last 24 hours :
Hubby’s car
Son’s ipod
Hubby’s printer
Hubby’s Tivo
The car is at the shop, the ipod I was able to get working (after I chewed him out for his annoying habit of twirling cords around his finger when he sits at the pc) by giving him hubby’s cord and using [...]

Football season is officially underway. I haven’t watched much the last 5 years. Ever since Princess came into the world, my days of Sunday barcamping ended, and more mundane things like blocks, Barbie, and ballet took over.
This week hubby ended up watching the game from home (first time he’s watched a Bronco’s game [...]
