LQTM

Sometimes I am not actually laughing aloud when I type LOL, I’ve decided to use something that more accurately describes what I’m doing.
I shall now type LQTM.
Laughing
quietly
to
myself.
LQTM is sometimes what I’m doing when I have the urge to type LOL. Of course, the keys are not as close together and I will have to [...]

DD’s tooth

Youngest DD told me this afternoon that one of her loose teeth has split in half. She can wiggle the left side and the right side. It’s a molar. Ick.
I told her I’d call the dentist tomorrow to see if I could switch her 6 month appointment with her brother’s 6 [...]

My pirate name is:
Captain Grace Read

Even though there’s no legal rank on a pirate ship, everyone recognizes you’re the one in charge. Even through many pirates have a reputation for not being the brightest [...]

church

For the past few weeks, the kids and I have been going to a different church. It’s been a long time since I couldn’t wait to go back to the next service, but now I feel that way each week. It’s good to know that I’m learning as I worship, that I’m coming [...]

the fair

This morning, I applied for a passport – my first one! Before that, I’d spent a couple of hours at the air force base getting some paperwork straightened out for the kids.
Tonight, the kids and I went to the state fair. We met Chrissie and her kids there. We walked around, rode [...]

Thursday Thirteen #48

thirteen thoughts
1. It’s been good to be back at work this week. 2. The past six weeks I was home recovering from a hysterectomy. 3. I think I said, “I’m much better, thanks! Good to see you too!” more on Monday than I ever have in my life. 4. [...]

And at each of those lights, [...]

Magic?

Yesterday, Smokey was in quite a bit of pain. I got some baby Motrin for him. After the first dose, he slept for an hour and woke up acting like he felt a lot better. I gave him another dose at bedtime and again this morning. He’s been running around and [...]

I had no idea…

Obviously I’ve never had a male dog before.
I took Smokey to get neutered today. I thought the procedure was like a vasectomy – small incisions but all parts basically intact.
I had no idea that it was a castration. I’ve seen castrations of larger animals (having grown up around horses, cows, [...]
