alone

Usually I do not feel lonely. A combination of staying busy, work, and the kids keep feelings like that at bay most of the time.
Today with all the dentist & military base mess, rushing back & forth to work to take care of those appointments so I only had to take 4 [...]

This morning, I took the youngest to the dentist. Four cavities. Between the teeth. On baby teeth, thankfully. But cavities, nonetheless. Obviously, I should not have believed her innocent looking doe-eyed professions of, “Yes, I flossed my teeth yesterday. Really, I did!”

Utilities

I’ve begun a quest to lower my utility bills. The amount of my bill, for the small amount of time that we’re actually home (since I am at work & the kiddos are at school all day) is ridiculous. I know this place is not insulated well and it’s drafty around windows & [...]

Fat Tuesday

is February 28 this year.
When the ex and I lived in Louisiana, I experienced the wonders of Mardi Gras for the first time. Never before had I seen parades for a month, celebrations with bright colors, beads, masks, feathers, candy, and music. The kids even had parades in the grade schools. [...]
