Weekend Not Quite As Planned

It was supposed to be a weekend with a lot of fun and mayhap even a bit of debauchery. Mr. P was being whisked away for the weekend by his grandparents, and we had hours upon hours to ourselves.

Except it didn't quite turn out that way.

This are some conversational snippets, verbatim, from this weekend:

Me: Oh, God. I'm shivering, I've got goosebumps.

Him: It's one hundred degrees and you're shivering? You've got some problems, for sure. Here's another blanket.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Him: Drink this! You need to drink! You're dehydrated!

Me: Since when does dehydration come with a 102 fever?

Him: Trust me, I know these things.

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Him: Drink this! You're dehydrated!

Me: I dare you to Google the symptoms for dehydration!

Him: Mutter, mutter...

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

Him: Drink! You're dehydrated!

Me: I swear, I'm gonna kick you if you say that one more time.

Him: I Googled dehydration, missy, and it said that you could have fever, nausea, and limb tingling.

Me: That is for someone who has been stuck in the Kalahari for days, not me! Go away!

* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *

None of these conversations had even a whiff of debaucherism about them, which was highly disappointing to both of us.

Thus explaining my absence from the blogosphere.

But you know what? The world didn't stop because I didn't post! People will still visit me and comment even if I don't post every single day!

You may laugh, but it took me a very long time to reach this point.

Bummer the weekend didn't work out as planned...hope you're feeling better now (less dehydrated, per chance?)

And yes, I've come to that realization about the blogosphere, too. A more relaxed approach never hurt anyone!

Happy Wednesday - Heidi

Unless you get your thrills from hubby force-feeding you liquids, that definitely doesn't sound like debauchery. Guess ya gotta look on the bright side - at least you didn't have to look after Mr. P.!

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
