Friday Poll

Today we had an earthquake, hail, and a tornado. Well, the tornado wasn't exactly where I live, but it was close enough.

Do you think the weather is weird lately? Or is it just me?

I think it is getting more weird. Even my husband who doesn't take notice to anything said that last week.

Very weird here. It's almost June and our heat still keeps coming on. That's just not right.

Yikes- hope all is okay with you! The temps here keep going up and down. We had the heat on last night! Definitely weird.

The weather is hotter than 7 hells here. Don't get me wrong, that's normal though.

As far as earthquakes - those scare me. Tornados and hail don't frighten me near as much as earthquakes.

I hesitate to say it's weird as if to say it's weirder than usual this time of year. I am always scolding Christian friends who think we have an overabundance of natural disasters, so it must be the end times. The fact is we have the same number of earthquakes we normally have and the same number of tornadoes and hurricanes. they just get more attention than they used to.

I suspect that Scout is right about this. It's like the summer of 2001, I remember hearing about shark attacks, tons of stories about shark attacks, and yet, there weren't any more shark attacks that summer than any other. They just made it into the news. Until Sept. 11, then, of course, the shark stories stopped.

I'm freezing where I live (NE Ohio). We can't get any warmth here. If it gets past 63, we consider it a heat wave. The weather just isn't right. We're way below normal for this time of year, and we were way above in October. My heat's been on FOREVER.

I give up on the weather ... it looks like it's planning on ruining my long weekend. And I have 4 house guests and 3 kids. All. IN. Side.

Last week, it was 103, and today's high is about 65 -- with a chance of rain. So yeah, it's weird.

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
