Teeheee…..I cannot stop giggling!
I have been stressing about my 3 year arm mortgage coming up to the variable rate option. You hear so many horror stories of people’s mortgage payment shooting up at the end of the arm period, I was just expecting the worst.
Well, today I get a letter from my mortgage company. And [...]

Feelings from a Holistic Perspective
Posted in health, meditation, ramblings, reiki, tagged EMDR, holistic, mental health, OBE, reiki, weight on February 25, 2008 | 6 Comments »
I guess I do have more to say today that’s not down and dreary.
I mentioned before that I was seeing a Holistic MD, but I haven’t blogged about it much. As predicted she spoke about diet and exercise. But more importantly, she understood and spoke about ENERGY! Not energy as you are [...]
Chocolate Good Deed
Posted in ramblings, tagged cadbury creme egg, chocolate, dove truffle egg, easter, wawa on February 25, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Today I really have a lot to say, but it will pretty much all come out as moaning which just seems so boring to me today.
So instead of moaning, I will tell you about my good deed for the day. Yes, it is only midday and I have already done a good deed.
I am [...]
The Cell Phone
Posted in Step-Parenting, kids, parenting, tagged cell phone, parenting, Step-Parenting on February 20, 2008 | 5 Comments »
I have a situation on the home front I’m not sure how to handle.
The kids have a cell phone. Yes! A freaking cell phone! Remember, they are only 6 and 8.
In my opinion, they are too young to handle the responsibility of a cell phone. It makes me really uncomfortable that they have it. It [...]
Online Security
Posted in Step-Parenting, kids, parenting, tagged online security on February 20, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Following on from my previous post, my friend Mr David W. Boles has given me lots to think about again in terms of internet security and anonymity. This is a fascinating – and scary article – he wrote about parents unwittingly exposing their kids to online predators. A few of the commenters disagree with Mr [...]

Airing Dirty Laundry
Posted in blogging, ramblings, tagged blogging on February 19, 2008 | 8 Comments »
I’ve been thinking alot again about blogging and the anonymity of it or rather non-anonymity of it all.
It started with a conversation with my step-mom about why I am blogging and “airing my dirty laundry” in public. It seems that some family members don’t understand why I would want to do this [...]
Kiddie Love
Posted in S Person, Step-Parenting, kids, parenting, tagged Step-Parenting on February 19, 2008 | 3 Comments »
This week is our week with the kids. And it’s started off wonderfully!
Yesterday at 5pm S dropped the kids off. Polite conversation ensued between her and myself about the kid’s schooling needs for the week…kids have bathed today, haven’t eaten dinner yet, N needs to finish the book he is reading for his [...]
Sometimes, I Cry
Posted in poetry, tagged cry, poem, tears on February 18, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Sometimes, I Cry
Great big heart wrenching cries,
shuddering sobs,
rivers of tears.
So great,
it would break a mom’s heart
and a dad want to viciously hunt down the cause.
But there is something you need to know.
Shuuuuuuuush, it is a secret!
Something the average Joe does not know.
My tears are healing! Not harmful!
They release the toxins
which have poisoned and [...]
N is sick again
Posted in S Person, Step-Parenting, health, kids, tagged Step-Parenting on February 14, 2008 | 3 Comments »
Sooooo….in a fascinating follow-up to yesterday’s post, N, my 8 year old stepson started throwing up last night at around 6pm.
Some back story first…
oops..I accidental deleted a long detailed description and history of the back story. So I will post this anyway and hope to get around to the back story at some point.
So [...]
The Lioness, she is me
Posted in S Person on February 13, 2008 | 4 Comments »
So I’m thinking that in my previous Cat & Mouse post, I kind of likened myself to a mouse, just waiting for someone else to decide my future. Well, that is NOT who I am and it’s time to reclaim who I am. I searched long and hard to find an image that [...]

Cat & Mouse

This week the children are with their mother. And today the schools are closed. So we get a voicemail at 8am this morning from B’s ex asking if I can look after the kids today. Ummm….luckily I decided to call in an inclement weather day for myself. So I say yes, [...]
Inclement Weather Day
Posted in ramblings, snow, winter, tagged ice, snow on February 13, 2008 | 2 Comments »
Looks like I got my wish. Today the schools have been closed in our county. Not that it affects me much, other than to give me an excuse why I shouldn’t drive my hour and a half commute to work, and work from home instead. I really despise that commute [...]

Today

Today, right now, I am pissed off.
I cannot get my freaking program (computer program, that is…in PHP) to work. And so I have left my desk in a huff to pursue more pleasant pursuits (like eating and blogging). B had better get home fast and help me. Because right now I’m barely holding together the [...]
Frozen Hamster Anyone?
Posted in kids, parenting, tagged hamster, parenting on February 5, 2008 | 6 Comments »
Yes, as you might have guessed (or not!) from the title of today’s ramblings, we have a dead hamster in our freezer!
My dear step-daughter M’s hamster died over the weekend and my dear darling husband has promised her we would take him to nearby woods and bury him. Well, it hasn’t happened yet. And so [...]
Scramble! A new Addiction!

Oh my word! I’ve found a new addiction!It’s Scramble on Facebook. I am really getting into it…it’s quick and challenging and doesn’t take as long as Scrabble. Hopefully it should not be as disruptive to my day .

Posted in blogging, tagged blogging, feelings, tracking on February 4, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Today I had a click to my blog from an interesting source…..We Feel Fine. What an interesting website! And how fascinating that my blog was found this way by someone.
This is their mission statement:-
We Feel Fine is an exploration of human emotion on a global scale.
Since August 2005, We Feel Fine has been harvesting human [...]
Too fat to Eat Out?
Posted in health, tagged health, obese, weight on February 3, 2008 | 4 Comments »
Blog hopping again, I came across this inspiring piece of news….Lawmakers have proposed legislation that forbids restaurants and food establishments from serving food to anyone who is obese (as defined by the State).
Well…well….well…substitute those words with vulgar cussing!
Can’t say I’m surprised that someone’s finally tried this though. Just glad that I do not live in [...]
Being a Step-Mom
Posted in parenting, tagged Step-mom, Step-Parenting on February 3, 2008 | 15 Comments »
My role as step-mom to my husband’s two kids…it’s a toughy. Where does it define what a step-mom’s role is? Because I have no freaking idea what it should be! I know what I want it to be. But no idea if it’s appropriate or not.
I want to be a real [...]
Who are You?
Posted in meditation, ramblings, tagged meditation on February 2, 2008 | 2 Comments »
a higher Me / Spirit / God / your chosen Deity : Who are you?
me : Who do you want me to be?
That my friends is the eternal question. “Who are you?”
And the answer, my friends, is almost my entire problem. “Who do you want me to be?”
I’ve realized that I define [...]
