  • Withdrawal

    Ugh. I cannot stand not having my computer! It’s like an appendage has been cut off. A new laptop has been ordered, but because I’m not satisfied with ordering just any computer, I’m having one built, so it’s going to take a couple of weeks to get here. But, I think it’s going to be… Read more

  • Laptop woes.

    My laptop died yesterday. This is the third laptop crash I’ve had in 3 years. The first time, Andrew walked on the laptop. And we lost 5500 pictures, including the first year of his life. But, I’ve blogged about that before. I digress. The second time, we only lost a couple of files – no… Read more

  • Puppy update

    So, I’m not liking working from home much at all. So, I’ve we’ve made a decision. I’m going to give it a month before we make any changes. Either I decide to get a different job that gets me out of this freakin’ house allows me to work around other people and we don’t get… Read more

  • Random Post No. 3,658

    Just dumping the contents of my brian for the all the world to see. Why is it that that makes me feel better? going through a really rough time with this legal work – not all because i don’t like it, but because i don’t like being home alone all day long. that puppy is… Read more

  • my heart attack

    My four-year-old is killing me. If I had a dime for every time he’s given me a heart attack, we’d be a very rich family. The latest heart attack? Well, not only can he ride a two-wheeler, but now he’s so fast on it that I can’t catch up with him no matter how fast… Read more

  • Which one now?

    Two people have now recommended beagles. And, my grandparents had a beagle when I was growing up and I loved him. So, I think it’s been narrowed down to a beagle or a golden retriever? Which one now?????? Read more

  • Steph, Esq. at your service.

    Well, okay not really. But kind of. I had 3 interviews last week. One was for a full-time job outside of the legal profession. It would have been a fantastic work environment with people I know and it would have been flexible around my kids’ schedules, including work from home summers. But, it just wasn’t… Read more

  • It’s happening.

    Well, I’ve been talking about wanting some change in our lives for awhile. I’ve babbled about it for over a year – in this post and this post and then this post and I’m sure there’s more posts, but I’m too lazy to go back and look them up. And I’m scared to death about… Read more

  • New beginnings

    ,

    School is in full swing here – we’ve finished the second week – and all 3 kids love their teachers, their classes, and are just genuinely happy to go to school everyday. Makes life so much easier. The girls are starting violin lessons at the local Suzuki school next week, so it will be interesting… Read more

  • Good-bye Summer!

    This is it. Labor Day is here. The pool closes today. It’s been in the mid-40s in the mornings when we wake up and the sun is rising later and later every day. Summer is over. I normally look forward to fall with enormous anticipation – I love the changing seasons, the crisp air, the… Read more
