Questions, but Few Answers...

See how incoherent I get when I even think about George W.? I got all verklempt up there, and I would apologize, but until we get a new president, I don't think I have it in me.

Anyhoo, moving on and lowering the blood pressure...

Here is my current life, in questions:

Why is my son scared of the dark again?

Will you do me a favor and go to J's blog and give her and her mom some support after her mother's bypass surgery?

Why are incompetent people always in charge?

Why is my car always so filled with papers?

Why is Ben Bernanke going to lower interest rates and cause stagflation? Who is he trying to protect?

Did you know I bought a pair of awesome Converse sneakers for myself for ten bucks?

And why can't we have a Dillards here in SoCal?

Why do birthday parties seem to always come in bunches?

Why is it that I can never manage to do my nails without some sort of smudge?

Why did it take me so long to realize that doing my nails in a lighter color would minimize the look of said smudges?

Why is it 84 degrees in February?

Why don't I just end this now?

I don't know if I'm going to be able to hand the birthday party scene in a couple of years. I might have to go see a shrink about this...

You can't have Dillard's because you have In-N-Out Burgers and that would be wrong. It would upset the balance or something. It's either the fashion or the food. Could you spare about 20 of those degrees for us poor MidWesterners? I forgot the worst part. We don't have Dillards either

I think I'd enjoy an 84° day right now, but your questions are too hard on my brain. Ouch.

We don't have Dillards either. Well, maybe there is one somewhere up here..but what is all the fuss about??? I like the mothership (Macy's) just fine ;)

Awesome about the $10 converse. Spring is sprung...and it makes me want to SHOP!!! Strange, it should make me want to be outside, but it doesn't.

Dillard's is great, I agree. And in Stockton, pit that it is, they have both Dillard's AND In 'N Out.

Thanks for the good wishes with my mom.

Congrats on the shoes!

I NEED to know where you got the Converse and were they Chuck Taylors? High or low top? And what color?

GREAT taste in shoes, mama ...

Birthday parties do some in bunches!!!! Weird, isn't it? Oh an another question:

"Why can't humans hybernate?" I always feel like crap from December to about the end of February. If I could just hybernate I could skip all the crap!!!

Do not, I repeat, DO NOT trash the 84 degree weather in February or we will have your SoCal citizenship revoked.

Someone had to say it.

Developmentally, children will take a few steps backwards before they take a giant leap forward. This is really apparent around 5 or so , just before they are taking giant steps of starting school, being more independent.

It's either that, or you've earned yourself a "Bad Parent Award "
and let him watch scary TV. ;)

Birthday parties always come in bunches because folks only procreate a few times of the year.

True story. :-)

I would like to know why I'm still scared of the dark! I cannot walk through the house without turning on the lights as I go. I fully blame it on The Creep Show.

I hear ya about Dillards. I didn't grow up with them, but anytime I've shopped at one (online or brink & mortar) I've found some finds for great deals.

I hear ya on the nails! But I'm loving the fact that I've broken out the flip flops! Woo Hoo! (I totally need to paint the ol'tooties)

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
