    • So Far, So Good

      For a Monday morning, things are going well. I was fighting a migraine all night so I didn't think it was going to be a good day, but things are turning out better than expected. I gave in and took some pills when I got up this morning, followed by a long, hot shower, so the remainder of the migraine disappeared after about 30 minutes. It still feels like someone kicked me in the head and my nose won't stop draining, but the pressure's gone.I got Kadie up and put her downstairs on the couch...

      Kadie has been officially enrolled in her first"real" school. She starts on 1 Oct. Jeff and I went, yesterday, for a tour of the two facilities. Both are owned by the same woman - they're just in different cities. The one we wanted (because it was closer to our commute) was full when we called last week to make the tour appointment, but they said that a transfer from the other school would be simple, once a spot had opened up. The first school we went to see (the one that's out of our way and...

      Lisa, you'll be proud of me for this. I asked for some intervention yesterday and got it. The story starts with this: several months ago, Ms. Tracy asked if we were going to start Kadie in preschool this year - she wanted to be able to plan for any forthcoming openings. I had been looking around (and had even gotten brochures for several different schools) but hadn't made up my mind yet and, when I asked Jeff, he was apparently thinking about kindergarten and said"no" as he thought Kadie was...

    • A Sheepish Hello

      I've been off the air for a while, though I've tried to at least keep up with reading the posts. I've been focusing my attention on several different things lately and"a little here" and"a little there" add up to way past my bedtime. First off, I took my first database administration class last week. I put it off for several days and it finally dawned on me why: I was, subconsciously, thinking that, once I took the class, I couldn't feign stupidity any more. Once I had taken the course, I...

      Anyone else up for a little time off? I woke up this morning and heard our answering machine beeping. I was a bit surprised as I didn't hear the phone ring last night and I'm normally a very light sleeper. Exhaustion helps, I guess. Anyways, as I'm walking down the stairs I'm thinking,"Please let it be Tracy calling to say she can't take Kadie today." How pathetic is that?! Unfortunately, it wasn't Tracy and I was forced to get ready for work. So here I am - with no coffee as I've sworn off...
