Guilty again!   Leave a comment

    Yes, I’m guilty again, of not posting because: I don’t have time. I don’t have anything new to say. What I’m interested in saying really won’t interest anyone. That is really ridiculous, though, as even if no one else reads this, I read it.  I do go back and look at these from [...]

Trivial and important often reside together   Leave a comment

As a person who has always been not so good at multi-tasking, I have had to learn to become quite good at it! The important things in my mind always are: Taking care of our children and the family’s basic needs. Roger and I getting our work done. Us getting our schoolwork done when we’re [...]

Almost August and I haven’t even been swimming yet!   Leave a comment

DSC00709 Originally uploaded by criscollrj We took this back in June when we did take Colleen & her friend to the beach for a while. We haven’t been back. I didn’t go in that day and neither did Ryan — Ryan has been afraid of the “different” lake water and this is the closest he’s [...]

Missing writing, missing an important part of me!   Leave a comment

I need to take more time to write here. I do feel my life is kind of taking on a pace all of its own that half the time I feel I have no control over!!! First of all, Chris is doing great — We went out to eat with him today and he was [...]

Spring is in the air!   Leave a comment

Well, maybe not for long, but after a few months of a blanket of snow continuously it was so nice to see the grass this week!! We had snow pretty much continuously since November with maybe 2 short breaks. I love winter, but it was getting to be too much!

Being led home…   Leave a comment

… and I didn’t even leave Wow, after 3 months, I’ve decided to quit looking for a job. I made this decision on Sunday, after 3 months of no-gos and dead ends, and not really being able to give transcription my all because I’m always looking for jobs or going to interviews (only 2) or [...]

Changes   Leave a comment

Reminds me of this song, even though mine has nothing to do with a heartbreak – well not the same kind. My boy is moving!!  Chris is moving to a group home on SATURDAY.  It is an awesome place.  I think he’s really going to be happy there.  It is so close to his school, and [...]

Lest you think I forgot you –   Leave a comment

I’m alive! Kids have all been sick again. Ryan is home sick with the intestinal garbage (I think he fell asleep). Colleen missed 3 1/2 days this week, Chris missed one. Mom was here this week and now she doesn’t feel well. My days may be numbered. Rog was sick earlier this week while he [...]

Broke in the digital camera, early Christmas present for us. Here’s a start: Going to Erie from Dori H on Vimeo. And by the way when I said “Open the door” I didn’t mean the car– I can see that would possibly be assumed from my statement All videos here – and I’m sure this [...]

Funny things said at work   Leave a comment

This was in response to a “what was the funniest thing you typed” post at the transcription board – “These are all so funny! I keep trying to think of one I’ve done and I’m sure in almost 20 years of typing professionally I’ve done many! But I can’t think of anything. I can sure [...]
