We had to put a chair in the downstairs bathtub (I can’t make it upstairs) so that I could take a bath/shower. I had to. I usually bathe daily (who doesn’t?) and I’ve had to skip Thursday and Friday. I’d taken a shower Thursday morning, but that didn’t count after …
I seem to be having a lot of them lately. I can’t tell if it is because I haven’t hit my stride with work this year –just never have. I seem to get no breathing room to think, just go from one emergency to the next. I know I’m doing …
Does Adventure time seem like it isn’t for kids? Are cartoons much more like a weird head trip than they used to be ?(H.R. Puffinstuff and Lidsville excepted) Are jobs asking way more of us than 5 or 10 or 15 years ago? Kids know more in 3rd grade than …
So the plan was to get a bunch of stuff done today and then in the early afternoon go to the NWA Fantasy Faire . We were going to bring in the Halloween decorations (or rather Mr. J was) take down some of the indoor Halloween decorations, clean up the …
Not sure if embedding will work, but here goes/ A beautiful video of the abandoned Six Flags in New Orleans
I am still sick from the flu I caught three weeks ago. Still feel yucky. I hope I have the energy to go to the Fantasy Ren Faire with the Bean and James tomorrow. Right now, I’m barely able to keep going. I’m very very tired. So I looked over …
I had to get out of bed and publish last night’s and it lacked content. I may go back and add some, wonder if that is permitted for nablopomo? I’ve just been kinda down since I got the flu and because of some friend issues.And work has been large. I …
It had to happen. Some kid told our kid she was going to hell tonight. I’m so angry I”m shaking. First, the program gets changed into a pentacostal church revival meeting. Edited to add–It turns out that –the University Children’s Choir participated in someone else’s program. This guy turned the …
Well another November 1st rolls around. I actually got out of bed to put this up here. I usually do Nablopomo, but I’m not sure this year. Just like this year may have been the final Halloween Party year (forever, for awhile?) it may be the last year for Nablopomo–or …
Dearest James– I had to wait a long time for you, I guess my whole life up to that point. I’m so lucky to be your wife. You are so kind to me, so loving. I thought I was done with the whole being in love thing when we met. …
Well here is the obligatory soul searching blog post. I’m waiting to post this until after my birthday so I don’t bum anyone out. Thank you for all the good wishes. They actually do mean a lot. You learn to count your worth in FB or LJ comments (JOKE) and …
And lo I have been gone these many days. It isn’t like I haven’t been up to lots. I’ve actually had more to do than I know how to deal with. Good work, difficult work. A wonderful vacation. some loss Well. I’m back. And there will be more soon
mantis guy Originally uploaded by jyllianm A new born baby mantis guy. He let us take pictures as we were eating our dinner outside. He skittered back and forth and was so tiny it was hard to catch him,but there he is.
cattable3 Originally uploaded by jyllianm What your dining room table isn’t full of cats and princess dresses? Well that’s sad for you.
We had this tiny little (ok not so tiny or little over 8lbs) baby dear. Squinched up face, cutest toes in the world (still are, and I still want to kiss ’em much to her chagrin “oh mommy I’m much too old for that,”) tiny long fingers and opinionated from …
The nerves sit ceremonious like tombs; The stiff Heart questions–was it He that bore? And yesterday–or centuries before? The feet, mechanical, go round A wooden way Of ground, or air, or ought, Regardless grown, A quartz contentment, like a stone. This is the hour of lead Remembered if outlived, As …
