You're back? You still read this thing? I am flattered. About 6 months ago I posted that my life was going through a major upheaval and I would be taking a hiatus from this blog. I'm still not sure if I will post often, but blogging is a catharsis fro me and I miss it - so who knows. I figured I eneded to update those of you who still read/check on me what is going on in my life to cause me to

I will be on indefinite hiatus for a while. I am going through personal upheaval and need to focus on other things - if you check in now and then I might post somethign or other but right now i am mostly just going to say goodbye to this blog for the time being and I might resule again later when the dust has settled. Don't worryk, it will be a good thing in the long run, though it feels likethe

I keep meaning to blog but I haven't been motivated. I've been kind of depressed lately and feeling kind of BLAH. I've been working too much and the weather is killing me now that we are subject to it's mercy on a daily basis and did you know - Florida is FREAKING HOT? Not just hot, but FREAKING HOT? Yes, it's true. Air Conditioning is a definite neccesity - and one I can't afford to replace yet.

I wrote the following post in an e-mail to a friend at work telling him about my nightmare of a trip yesterday. I left out the part where I was surprised in the bathroom by Margaret about 4 days early while I am far from home and TOTALLY unprepared (men just don't want to hear about that - especially from co-workers) so yeah, my day was worse than I described below. But - enjoy. it's funny to

I mentioned briefly that Peanut had found a good home. Right? I asked for a nominal fee ($25) to help ensure that the family that was taking him was willing in invest in him and care for him. (Free dogs are sometimes fodder for pit fights/cock fights/lab experiments/abuse - I won't encourage that by offering a dog for free) He went to a new home and they called him Tiberius. It's a huge name for

middlechild begged for a week for us to let her take violin lessons. I remembered really wanting to learn the viola as a child (don't think I ever told anyone about that.... but that was probably fo rthe best as I didn't stick with things as a kid) and the more she begged the more I remembered.

Here's another pic of the intracoastal. I'm using it as a means of making an enty to the blog - I hate taking 30 seconds to type 15 characters at the blogger site. Today is definitely a Monday. First day of school and everyone oversleeps - there's a mad dash to the bus (firstborn made his bus, the girls missed theirs) and then I get a phone call from Firstborn - he needs to be picked up because I

This is the best recent one I have of Middlechild. Firstborn is headlong into the greasys but the most recent one I have of him will follow this one - it's a shot of the intracoastal and he's walking toward it. When you get here next time I want to show you this place. He's about 3 inches shorter than I am if you can believe that. DH and I are discussing a family portrait in the coming couple of

Is anyone else having trouble posting on blogger? I have foudn that if I'm not using somethign like Heloo or Picasa to post it takes for-freaking-ever to get the screen to display the keystrokes I'm typing. It used to be easy and go lickety split so I could post in a couple of seconds but taking 15 minutes to type out a flipping post is causing me to wait to post until I have a photo to go with

Here's my latest jewelry creation. Bronzite hand-faceted tab beads, glass swarovski pearls, seed beads and a leaf shaped Mother of pearl blister bearl pendant. That's a toggle type clasp on it - the little end slides in where the big end joins the necklace and goes thorugh a slot in the tube to secure it at the other end. It's my favorite piece of jewelry that I made so far. (Earring findings

My aloe is in bloom. WOOO! I'm going to get more aloe plants! I really like it's flower - kind of skeletal and alien looking. Around here when the Century plant blooms it sends this kind of bloom about 100 feet into the air. When we first moved down here the kids called the blooms of the century plant Alien Fingers and that name has stuck. Here's my own mini version of an Alien Finger. Awesome.

Because they sure do make life unpredictable.Let me start out by saying Happy Fourth of July to all! And as for me? I'm going to buy a new toilet. Oh, but let me explain.Today started out with a plugged toilet. Firstborn usually is the plugger so he was the de-plugger by default. Life rolls on and we cooked burgers and ate lunch. Middlechild used the toilet and came running out in near hysterics.

Here's a much better photo of the moth. All I had on me was my camera phone, but my co-worker had her camera and took this shot. A quarter for perspective to give you an idea how big this bug is. Very beautiful. We see them all the time in this part of Florida. Here's another bug from outside the building that morning. I'm told it's a waterbug.

I got tapped to visit PA in about a week or so and that got me thinking about airline tickets. Durign my price hunting binge I stumbled across Spirit airlines. Why did nobody tell me about this company before? I found that I can fly ROUND TRIP to Michigan for less than $100 a head if I leave on a Tuesday and return on a Wednesday. Take that and put it with the budgeted amount I expected to spend

I found that I can get approximately five days for what one day cost us last year. INCLUDING a nice hotel... (Not a closet with a bed and window like last year) and not just one, but TWO theme parks.

DH and I stopped by Goodwill today - I rarely rummage through their clothing racks because they don't sorty by size and I'm such an odd size it's too discouraging for me - but I did find a nice pair of dressy shoes with a 1 inch heel on them (that adds alot when you are 6 foot already) and some bowls.

One of my pet peeves has to do with womanly products for "that time". You know how most products of that kind are purchased all folded up in a nice plastic wrapper? And you have to peel off the plastic or paper from the glue strip?And you stick it down and proceed to pull up your pants? Ever watch it refold itself? And then you have to unfold it again? Ever miss the re-folding of those products

Interesting ruins on one of my favorite roads in the area. The road is one of those with huge ancient trees right up on the edge of the road (we don't need no steenkin shoulders!) and the branches completely cover the road. It's like a tunnel of trees.DH found this one afternoon on his way to a job. It's a state park apparently, but all it is is the ruin you just saw and a place to pull your car

Puppy pictures! This is from about two weeks ago. Is that a puppy in your pocket or are you just glad to see me?Nope - that's a puppy. Check the teeny paw pads! And this little girl certainly is comfy. I'm totally spoiling these puppies.

DH and I got mobile phones again recently with a nice camera this time - now we send annoying photos like this one to eachother in the middle of the day. Tra la la!

I don't watch the news that often, I don't read the news that much either. I mean - I'll skim the free local paper and I'll watch local news on TV but I usually turn the channel before it gets to the world news. I never read the world news in the paper either..... I suppose I might be in denial about it because who would want to hear about the atrocities going on at the hands of people

I am terrible to telemarketers. You'd think that having been one myself I'd be better but these people don't give up. I've told the water people atleast three times that I do not need my water tested because OHNO OHMIGOSH I have hard water all of a sudden and absolutely CANNOT live without a water softener!

You wanted to crawl to the edge of the earth and duck under it so that nobody could see you? Well, the past couple of weeks I've felt like that and still do to a limited extent.... but I do see the light at the end of the tunnel now.

Okay a tiny grumble from me today - it's just a beef of mine that people never seem to say what they mean. For example - some one offers you something, and you decline. The offerer walks away. DONT get insulted that it wasn't re-offered in the form of "are you sure?". Really now. You said no thank you. I assume you meant it. Also - if you say that job X needs to be done, but not to worry about A

Here's the photo of the fire I promised. It's just down the road from her house. Fortunately I think they have it mostly under control now. We are also getting a smidgen of rain which I think we are all grateful for.

Well, not near my house - thank goodness. But there is a huge forest fire burning in central Florida right now - it's closed the highway down and a co-worker (who commutes quite a ways to work I might add) had to be evacuated from her home. She had to take the detour (no highway) and it's added about 2 hours onto her commute - each way. She gave me some photos she took of the fire - it's just

...sorry about that. I've been under a lot of pressure lately - but a ton of it was lifted last Friday when my week-o-trainings were completed. I always thought I'd like to be a teacher, but yikes - I can't imagine actually doing it on a daily basis. Back in high-school I would rather have puked instead of speaking for an hour or more in front of over 20 people each time - but now - it's no

She has to take everything apart to find out how it works.A recent example: My mom sent wonderful boucy pogo sticks for each of the kids recently - only they were like no pogo I had ever seen. These had a rubber ball on the bottom of them. Here's a picture. The kids loved them and bounced all over the kitchen and the driveway and had a great time. Today - I came home from work to find one pogo

Dixie is more relaxed with these pups - she let me take their pictures but when she saw me put the camera down she told me that she was ready to have them back. :)

Oh - I almost forgot - this is the easter cake that Middlechild and I made. I warmed the frosting to make it easier to spread - but I think I warmed it too much because it poured over the cake. It sure tasted good though. LOL!

We have two new easter puppies! One girl and one boy again. Both are already pretty much spoken for. Here is new puppy #1. This one was born first. It's a girl and she's so adorable! I can tell right now this one will be my bawler when she goes to her new home in a couple of months. I don't think she will cry - but I sure will. This is puppy #2. I might just cry over him too.

These painkillers give me the wildest dreams. Oh - and the nurse at the dentist office thought I was nuts when I declined a new pain med script. I stopped in on Thursday to get my tooth/gap/hole packed due to the excruciating pain. They packed it and offered me more pain meds and I told them no. She looked at me like I was nuts. I'm not - however. The pain meds they prescribed are too strong and

Here's a photo I took at the wedding last weekend. That's a good friend and coworker I've known for years and he's marrying another good friend of mine. I was so happy to be invited and so happy to take photos. They came out great - well, some of them anyways. This image is "shopped" but I think that's what makes it pop.

Here's a deer in my backyard. She came out to eat the fallen loquats from the tree. The barking dogs didn't faze her and neither did I when I stood at the slider and snapped this image. Of course, I was behind glass and screen and about 30 feet away (Hencee the poor quality - sorry) but she just moseyed around for a while eating the fruit and then moseyed back into the woods.

Whoo... dunno what happened but I just went all dizzy, and sleepy and VERY cold and weak. I slept for about 2 hours and I'm better now. I think maybe my blood pressure just bottomed out or something. The dentist said I could double the Lortab if it didn't help and I think I may not be able to take that much so I'm just taking ibuprofen instead. (I confirmed it's okay to have a combo of Ibuprofen

Well, let me qualify that. I only love them when I'm in some serious pain. Today - I will practically WORSHIP my pain meds. Hahaha! I had not one molar removed, but two. One on each side of my mouth. The dentist told me the other would have to go and did I want to have it done at5 the same time? I thought about it - mentally argued with myself (who won? why, I DID of course) and decided to go

Well.... it's hard to describe. It's a sweetish tart fruit that is sort of apple textured, and tastes like a mango crossed with a peach. It's mighty tasty, but the flesh to pit ratio is small so it's not really easy to eat without chipping a tooth. The fruit also will not ripen if picked too early and it does not keep well. Here's a wikipedia entry. Here's the tree in my backyard, a clower shot

...because nobody should love going to work so much.I'm having such a great time I can't believe they are paying me to do this. I mean, really. This can barely be called work - I'm designing an internal website. I am writing technical documentation. I am teaching classes. I LOVE MY JOB!LOVE LOVE LOVE LOVE it!I feel so bad about it too... I'm supposed to be all grumbly about something, but there's

My kids are learning spanish at school. Yes, gradeschool! Thank goodness I took 3 years of it in high school or I wouldn't have a clue. So tonight the kids are spitting spanish nouns at eachother and quizzing eachother what they mean:boca!mouth!pies!Feet!azul!blue!and then youngest comes up to me and hollers BANDAID!uh, bandaid?

This is Middlechild in the pool yesterday - I hope it's playable. It's a rather large movie - 6mb. Sorry in advance to dialup users.

This is part of what I love about Florida so much. These deer weren't afraid of us at all - just minded their own business eating fresh green shoots. And look at that moss! I LOVE IT! Here's another reason to love Florida - I can't wait until I can get my hands on a canoe. The big thing down here is a Kayak but I am not so sure I could manage one of those - you need to kneel in them - OW! Another

Here's a clearer picture. The sandwiches are textured with tiny "air holes" like real bread, and the orange is textured and bumply, the Broccoli has three branches and the Mushrooms have under-the-cap ridges. Sorry my camera sucks. LOL!

Yesterday I moved to my new desk - in a new part of the building - with a really nice new flat screen monitor. It's probably 20 inches. HUGE! I'm loving this new job already. Hahaha! On the flip side - I have an unbelievable amount of CRAP at work. Moving desks was an EVENT, let me tell you. I had settled into my old desk and been there for approximately three years.

I've always suspected there was something special about Youngest. Something a little bit different. Last night she gave me a card that she made. It's oddly shaped, with two "legs" like a pair of jeans and the folded part would be at the waist. Then she turned it sideways and wrote:To.MomI (heart shape) yow momoywhich was always very cute - I love attempted spellings and unintentional typos. The

Really. I saw him in my rear view mirror on the way home from work. It was either God or his twin. He had long white hair, a full Moses style beard, a long-suffering patient expression and he was the one driving. Jesus rode shotgun (long dark hair, beard, peaceful expression, hint of a smile, white t-shirt) and was in the passenger seat and some person I couldn't see was in the backseat waving

Also almost any food that goes in I have to fight to keep in. I'm so hungry - but I toss everythign I eat. Bleagh.... As long as I don't eat or breathe I feel great. :) Ha - I just re-read that.

Middlechild approached me today and showed me a tiny box she was holding. I was full with odds and ends. There was a yellow crayon stub, some legos, a couple stray puzzle pieces, the broken lock to some diary, a couple smooth pebbles and a bead. She pointed to each of these things in turn and said to me "Mom, lookit my little house! This is the bed, and that's the table, there's a beanbag, and

Did I ever tell you that I love my job? Well, if I didn't, I should warn you that I totally love my job. Mini-interviews for the possible promotion did not take place yesterday contrary to what we were told, but I was okay with that. Really! You see, yesterday, I had the surprise opportunity to look good in front of some very nice but VERY important people in our division, and I totally DID GREAT

Well, we went over to see NiceKid's parents and we hashed the whole thing out with both kids present. It seems that NiceKid was blowing some comments by third parties out of proportion and attributing things to Firstborn that Firstborn neither said nor did. Firstborn was doing the same. We made them shake hands and agree to be polite to eachother. We can't force them to be friends, but common

Remember when Firstborn told me that another kid wanted to fight and the kid kicked him and he punched back? Well, we had the talk about ignoring people who wanted to fight with us, and we discussed techniques for turning a blind ear to the taunts. Well, a couple days ago we got a call from the school. Apparently there was a fight on the bus itself between this kid and another kid and Firstborn

We stopped at a gas station last night that I had never been to and DH was pumping gas in his car and I attempted to pump gas into mine. DH had to direct me to the diesel pumps, but then let me fly solo. I pulled out the nozzle and put it in the car and struggled gettign it in the car. DH hollered over from the other pump "It doesn't go all the way in". Oops. Grin! I'm so silly. Okay then, now

I stumbled across this website (Warning! lots of images, slightly disturbing) for medical school supplies. I understand the need for practice, so I'm grateful it's not practice on real people.

Firstborn has a history of abusing alarm clocks. He will whack them, let them fall behind the bed or pile things on top of them. As a result he rarely if ever hears the alarm and is always racing to get ready for school. Not this year though... This year he has learned that he has to hustle himself off to the bus stop in the morning because there is NO WAY momma is going to get up at the
