Vacation Time! Sort of...

On Friday Mr. P and I are packing it up and going on vacation. Yes, we will be sitting in the car, with my parents, for six whole hours! Can you feel my excitment? Hubba-hubba doesn't get to go because he has a "training" for "work" that he is "required" to attend. Probably a golf tournament or something.

Actually, they always take his side in a fight, so I'm not sure what the problem is.

But anyhoo, I am stoked because I got Mr. P a new suitcase. It was marked down to $29.99 from $80.00! Who says I don't know a deal when I see one? Nobody, baby, that's who. His old one was so tiny, it didn't even fit a weekend's worth of clothing. This one, this one will grow with him into old age, if it doesn't fall apart first. It's pretty big. The only drawback to it is that we are going to have to wait seven years before he can lug it around himself.

And, have you been to these fabulous blogs lately? If not, go to them, because they have more talent than I have in my pinky finger. Ok, well, maybe my pinky finger and my thumb, I'm not completely useless.

Drink the Kool-Aid that is Mrs. G! You'll feel fine, I promise!

In the mood for some Aussie sass? She's got it for ya!

The one and only Jenny!

And Sunshine, whose blog is like a three-ring circus, but without the elephant poop! There might be clowns, though.

Oh, and you know how they say you aren't "big" on the internet until you have a hater? Well, I gots me one, and I gots me one good. I feel like I'm banging my head against a brick wall.

First off, have a wonderful vacay! And second: that's a nice fight over there at TM. I get my own haters over at Popdose, but considering that the posts that draw the most comments are the political ones, I can't complain.

Congrats, Gina! You're now somebody on the Internets. Of course, you've been a "somebody" to your readers here for a long time -- and they love you! :-)

As haters go, that one was pretty mellow. Some of the places I hang out, they would have sent her home in a body bag.

Have fun on your trip!

All I'm saying is don't forget the fun in blogging that brought you to this point. I understand how hard it is. I too write for other blogs and some days it seems like that's all I do is research. Not trying to lay a guilt trip...ok, maybe I am. Just a little bit.

YAY! Welcome to the big time. Know them by their enemies is very wise: yours is brittle, egotistic, and as dim as a psychic's mood lighting.

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
