Say more

Yeah, there is some crap going on between Paladin and I.  Yeah, I know.  Surprise.  Surprise.  But, we’ve come to terms.  I got him talking.  It’s weird.  This is a man who never shuts up (sorry, hon…but you know you can keep up a conversation!) if the topic is politics or scifi or travel or the state [...]

Function

We finally got word from the kidney specialist this afternoon.  Mom’s kidney function is down to 20%.  At 12%, they will begin dialysis.  There’s nothing to do but watch her diet and hope that it takes a while before it goes down.
I was on the phone with Tina a few minutes ago.  She told me [...]

Getting the call

I got a call last night to go get M. in Natchitoches!  They let about 10 of them go home on time because of school and the others will be out by the end of the week hopefully.  It was pretty late by then, and it was even later after we stopped at Huddle House [...]

I Hope You’re Not Eating

M. called last night to tell me that they finally gave them a release date.  It’s September 15th!  He’s going to miss our anniversary AND his birthday.  Not to mention, that he won’t get paid for this for a while yet.   Unfortunately, he picked the wrong time to call.

 

 
 
Last night, I did [...]

Got guilt?

  
I swear that the universe is just pushing my buttons these days.  In case you haven’t read the comments under the last Wordless Wednesday, my BFF GingerMagnolia’s sister is expecting after a very few months of trying (like 2 or 3…lucky duck!).  I am genuinely happy for her.  I swear!  But, at the same time, [...]

Children need not apply

Last night we got a call from Delbert (he’s our brother from another mother or bro-a-ma).  His 15 yr old stepdaughter is pregnant. 
 
I won’t say that it didn’t hit me hard.  I know it’s nothing to be jealous of, and frankly, M.’s aunt’s pregnancy hit me much harder.  But I don’t think I have [...]

Update 2

If you’ve looked at your comments you’ve noticed that I commented on your blog, but I didn’t comment here.  That’s because I felt a bit better yesterday after talking to Ginger for a while, but I didn’t really want to look at my blog again.  If you do that, it tends to just stick in [...]

The jagged-est of pills

There are times when the multiverse just seems to be grinding its Nazi boot heel into my nose, and last night was one of those.  I’m sick.  I’m sick of two years of hope and disappointment in a cycle that’s almost as regular as my monthly visitor (I lie…the disappointment is more dependable than that).  [...]

Poorin’ a little out for the homies

 
Somebody thinks I’m cool!    The Evil Twin’s Wife has tagged me with the Arte Y Pico award and the meme that goes with it (thereby forcing me to make an awards page)!  Yay!  I don’t have to think of a post (I’ll save the winne-crapo for another day…don’t worry you’ll see what I’m talking about [...]

Sheds, Balls, & Peanut Butter Cake

Last day of Clomid!  Now the waiting and peeing of sticks begins.  I’m stocked up on Instead cups and Preseed.  Yeah, doesn’t sound much like the old-fashioned way does it?  Whatever happened to sex for sex’s sake?  Oh, and don’t worry men, I’m not going to blog about this constantly (I know, just as I [...]
