Life Lesson #79

An important lesson was learned by me tonight.

It was one that you would have thought I had learned a long time ago.

But, you can benefit from my misfortune.

Don't hold a bunch of semi-wet knives in your hand.

Because one of them is bound to slip.

And cut you where your thumb tendon thingy is.

And make it really hard to type.

Or maybe the lesson should be don't ever be helpful and try to dry the dishes.

Yeah, I like that one better.

Oh dear. Yesterday, I cut mine also. Although mine is not too bad but why does it hurt so much?

Hope it's feeling better today!

So sorry you hurt your thumb. I think you have a good excuse not to help next time. You can say "No, I can't help cleaning up after, remember what happened to my thumb?!

yeah, that freaking HURTS!!! Even more so when you get lemon juice in it when you decide to be a martyr and keep going with making a lemon cheesecake that no bastard ends up eating.

*breathe, breathe* Sorry 'bout that!

Wow! Painful lesson, eh? Did you visit the hospital for stitches?

Ouch. I think this is the type of injury that requires others to do your house work for at least two weeks.

Ouch! I can totally (literally) feel your pain, as that's basically the same spot that I slit my hand last Monday. At least I got out of dish duty, because I can't get my stitches wet.

Onward

The end of the school year, finally! Did I tell you that my son went to public school this past year? Did I tell you that my daughter was in a regular Kinder classroom this year? Although it was nice to have them both in school, there were definitely things I was not so hip on, such as having to wake up at 5:20 every morning just to get everyone out the door on time.  And then after all the driving and dropping off, going to work. Such fun! I had forgotten the dreariness of having to complete mounds and mounds of homework (even though new research has shown that homework, especially for Kinder, is for shit).  Of constant deadlines and fundraisers and things I am supposed to volunteer for. My daughter had a good year, but was definitely not without its bumps. Her teacher, an older, highly experienced, practical woman with a Master's in Education, kept referring to my daughter as an "inclusion student."  It wasn't her name or just "student" but was

Fallen Between the Cracks

Why did I stop writing here? With the grace of 20/20 hindsight, there were a LOT of reasons. My daughter's journey would get tougher and tougher, and as I added work into the mix of raising two kids, it was one more thing I just didn't have time for. And well, that work thing.  It sure does suck a lot of free time away, doesn't it?  Even though I am still only part time. I will be honest, as much as I adored all the people on the blogosphere that were kind enough to grace me with their wit and time, I just could not keep up with the constant commenting that I felt was only fair to these wonderful people.   So instead, what did I do? I did what any self respecting coward would do. I ghosted, of course. Not that I think my absence was enough to cause people to be distressed, but I feel badly if anyone felt slighted. Even as I write this, I feel like I am being waaaay too self important.  Isn't that the whole point of a blog, though?  Nobody writes a blog that doesn't

Apples and Oranges

Perhaps some of you may have noticed, but the real estate market is beginning a tumble in prices that benefit us, prospective buyers. And we're going to wait. That is cold, cold comfort to those such as J and Py , who are attempting to sell their place as we speak. But, we're not going to wait too much longer, if that makes them feel any better. There is no sense trying to time the bottom of the market, and we have been putting off moving, oh, since Mr. P was born because of the huge runup in prices. So huge that at one point, we could barely afford to buy our own place from ourselves. We should be ok even if we sell at a lower price than we could have gotten say, two years ago. We have, however, a dilemma. We have narrowed our choices down to two cities. And we are stuck there. We just can't figure out which city is better, and they are oh-so-different. Let me give you a rundown. City 1 Older, smaller houses (in our price range) Larger lots Beach city Infrastructure
