Happy Birthday Oprah!

Tired

I’m exhausted. This cleaning of the bedrooms battle has got to end. It’s been an all day affair with these girls. First oldest daughter in the morning, then youngest daughter when she got home. Son, love his heart, just cleaned up his room so he could go out & play. [...]

I referenced the article b/c I’ve been trying to help oldest daughter become more positive.. as she has been progressively more negative [...]

A conversation I had today…

Me: I’m trying to be like Lily (main character in a book I’m reading that this friend shared with me), but my telepathic abilities are NOT working. Darn.

This morning, my ex husband’s wife, my children’s stepmom, left for 9-10 months in Iraq, Afghanistan, Baghdad, or wherever they’re stationing her over there.

Yesterday my children learned about signs and symptoms of illnesses that they might see at school. The reason for this is that a teacher at their school had a heart attack in class and her class did not realize it. I guess they kept on doing what they were doing. Probably working, [...]
