Sixth Day Poll

I've only got about four presents left.

How far along are you on your holiday shopping/making?

Well I have my husband to shop for and a handful of gifts would in theory like to make if I get my crap together and get them done but if I don't it is no biggie. I like to give baked goods to Evan's doctors but I got lucky this year and scored a ton of honey from my inlaw's beehives. Who doesn't love beautiful raw honey? This stuff is gold baby plus the bees do all the work.

I have all of the extended family bought and paid for, just waiting for pioneer woman calendars and pika peeks Christmas ornaments to arrive so I can ship them out. Now I only have the very, very important stuff left - husband & kids.

I have one more niece to get something for, and then teacher gifts (which will be homemade). The fact that Chanukah starts on Dec 4th has made me step up my act big time this year! :)

I'm thinking about it. A lot. But I'm only 3 presents in. Bright spot, I think I'm putting my tree up Sunday :D Maybe that will inspire me.

I'm doing well, but I buy for a lot of people, so I'm not even close to done. Well, close, but not super close. No ideas even for a few folks...

I'm sorry, but what holiday? As it's not yet December 1st, we are still basking in the glow of Thanksgiving here at the Dept.

I believe in giving each holiday its fair due.

Tomorrow begins a new Holiday Cycle, for which I have yet to begin. I'm not the least bit worried, either. I never am.

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
