In honor of Martin Luther King, I’m taking a moment to be thankful for the strides we’ve made, and also for the strides we have yet to make. _We’ve come a long way baby_ in the fight for freedom, civil rights, and getting things done the non-violent way, but we still have steps to make.…

Naive. Ignorant. Stupid.
What’s the difference? Is there any good to any degree of naivity? When does it cross the line of stupid? Is naive just not knowing? Ignorant not learning? Stupid not choosing to know or learn? It’s all give and take. All relationships. Especially the more important ones. Can you give too much? Take too much?…
Oh, so overwhelmed
It’s not a new thing. I’m just so overwhelmed. I feel like I have too much on my plate, as usual, and I just can’t keep up with ANYTHING. “I don’t know how you do it”, they say, well I don’t either, because in reality I don’t feel like I do. Everything is behind, a…
Jill = Bride, Me = Maid of Honor (honorary)
Did I tell you? I was honorary Maid of Honor for Jill’s wedding! Here are a couple of photos they had made, when they tied the knot last month, in beautiful Niagra Falls – gosh, how I wish I could’ve really been there…. Isn’t she just gorgeous! !/images/11.jpg (Jill the bride)! The Happy Couple !/images/12.jpg…
Itchy no scratchy
So, I’m getting the redesign itch here. But NOT until your work is caught up young lady! (yeah, so I just said that to call myself YOUNG alrightalready) I’m trying to get out of the ‘blues’ and get caught up in the colors of the season, my favorite. Oh, and for a great “escape” from…
Shall I hide my feelings?
I keep having the urge to post something positive here. I’m not posting, because I have nothing positive to say. So what. It’s my life. And it’s not so positive right now. And when I look back at these entries (since I’m really the only one that does and to whom it really matters) I…
Dreams, sleep, denial, life
I heard a song, an old song, you might know it, on the radio this morning, oh about 4 a.m. that has the line in it: “Dreams are for those who sleep”. It’s from an old _Earth, Wind & Fire_ song, called “Make it With You”:http://www.lyricsfreak.com/e/earth-wind-and-fire/44701.html Now, I’m not so sure it’s true, in fact…
When it rains it pours- and I’m drowning already
Financial problems…. Car problems…. Health problems…. I can’t handle much more. The finances: “Due to financial constraints, the light at the end of the tunnel has been temporarily extinguished”. The car: Me (at 3 p.m. today): Hi, I was wondering what the status is on my van. bla bla bla Service guy (something to the…
My 2nd nephew was born!
After a chaotic weekend of some sickness, birthday parties, trials with _his_ job, etc. my new nephew miraculously entered this world (with me there) at 10:37 a.m. on Monday, August 23rd, 2004. He’s 7lbs. 1oz. of absolute sweetness! Of course! More later – I’m heading off to welcome him and my sister home from the…
Back to school 2004-2005
So, I’m preparing for the school year. Or am I? Well, I’m trying to, and finances are making it VERY difficult. But I really need to focus. I have a Preschooler (K-4), 1st grader, 6th grader, 8th grader and a Junior in High School this year! I need to look into a new math program,…
