• New Chart

    Today I suggested to Ethan that we start a new chart. We would use a calendar to mark down the values. Each day, in the morning we would say, “How is today going to be? (Scale 1-10, 10 being the best)”. Then, in the evening, I would ask, “How was…

  • Bad signs/Nice things

    Auto supply giant Delphi files for Chapter 11. General Motors may get dragged into bankruptcy over it. MCI and Verizon are merging. SBC and At&T are merging. They even have a special website for it. This doesn’t fill me with confidence that phone services are going to improve. I hate…

  • Weekend Party

    This weekend, Ethan, Jared and I had a bachelors fiesta. We saw a movie (Wallace and Grommit, not bad, very clever), we went to mini golf, boat bumper cars, batting cage, tennis, walks to Lunch, milk shakes, toy stores. We had a grand old time. However, the fun and excitement…

  • Today is going to be a Birth Day!

    Happy Birthday to Ethan. He is six today. Ethan is so friendly, he says Hi to everyone. I love him so much. His smile lights up my soul. When he hugs me, I feel it to my bones. I remember when we was so little. His first steps. His first…

  • Foggy thoughts

    My head is foggy today. Having trouble concentrating. Basically, I am meandering between thinking about work, the kids, politics, the Supreme court, New Orleans, and the upcoming trip to NY for Abigail’s Bat Mitzvah. Which makes me think of Rosh Hashana. The thing I have trouble getting people to understand…

  • DMV

    Katie and I just spend 2.5 hours at the DMV. Jared had a fever but was well behaved. Matt thought it was fun to say hi to all of the people there. The experience was very painful. My jaw hurts from clenching. And it’s not even over. We still need…

  • Look who’s Talkin?

    Matthew, last night, started saying Baaa, Baaa. It was a high pitched sound, and he said it quietly. I haven’t heard him make this sound. Katie came over and thought it was funny too. I said, “Maybe he is saying Bath.” Katie said to Matt, “Do you want a Bath?”…

  • Psyche!

    I had another dream last night. God came to me in a dream and said, “Remenber that Jets thing I told you? I was kidding. HA HA HA HA HA HA HA Haaaaaaaaaa HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA HAAAAAAAAA HA HA HA” He laughed in my face for 5 minutes in my dream. Then…

  • Disappointment

    Speaking of Robert Burns. He had this quote: “Suspense is worse than disappointment.” I think he is right, but it doesn’t make it feel any better. Also on Nip/Tuck, this guy had a quote, I thought was particular incisive. “You try making someone do something they don’t want to do.…

  • Quandry

    I am flip-flopping. I tried to install the 64-bit version of Vista. No dice. Too many drivers missing and it wouldn’t support dual CPU. Overall it was acting too slow. And I have 4G of ram! So now my choice is 32-bit version of Vista and I can install the…

  • Perspective

    O would some Power the gift to give us To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notion: What airs in dress and gait would leave us, And even devotion! I have used this in my blog before. I wonder if…

  • Tired

    I am so tired. Seriously, I feel like a sticky film is over my whole body. Like Plastic wrap clinging to my face. I need sleep. Too much to do. Not enough time. Meanwhile, the Jets better win this week otherwise I am going to open up a can of…
