Writing

I never noticed, but I’ve now gone past the one month mark on this blog. True, a couple of weeks of that was while I was on holiday, but I’m still counting it. It hasn’t yet (and maybe it never will) become a habit. We’ll…

A slow day around the house. Just the regular stuff, misbehaving kids, yelling, etc. We did drop by the kids old daycare place, where they played for about 4 hours. That was fun. Once we got home though, the bickering started again. Reading Soul of…

We had a fairly cloudy/cold day out here today, and I was not looking forward to having the kids in the house all the time again. So, I did what any sane parent would do: get out of the house. We spent about 2 1/2…

I must have built up some pretty bad karma. I ended up going to the same store three times today, to replace the same item. Two of them didn’t work right. Aaargh. And last night, I came home and found my 4 year old tent…

Nothing much to say today, and it is the weekend, so I normally won’t post (I think). I asked Gavin to look after the house/plants/garden while Marnie and I are gone. It’s easy money for him, but he is nervous about killing everything. He’ll let…
