Free At Last



I don't think I've ever been happier to see somebody get on a helicopter and leave.

I think this evoked more feeling in me than anything. My mom said she threw a shoe at the tv as they left. haha She's a kook.

PS word verif is CHILL. I'm gonna go do that now.

Amen babe. Wish I had seen that part on the TV. I would have cheered.

AM, your mom ROCKS.

My word verification is punwsi. Sounds like an insult.

Right! And, I cannot fathom a man who is so out of touch that he says, (paraphrased) "I can look in the mirror and say I have no regrets."

:sigh:

Well, actually, I can fathom him. What I cannot fathom is all the mindless people who believed he did a good job. Argh.

Free at last, free at last ... thank GOD ALMIGHTY ... we are free at last.

I thought that quote was appropriate :)

I can only imagine the relief he feels, and I suspect it's even greater than yours. I would so not want to have that job.

Nero has left Rome. But Rome is still burning.

We have a lot of work to do to clean up. And yet there are still millions that love him, want to see Rome burn down.

There you go.

Nice blog here. I look forward to dropping by again soon!

That copter picture is going to stay in my mind just like Nixon's copter flight. Yeah, I'm that old.

And, might I add, "obsessed" according to word verification. (I have so been loving the new words nowadays!)

My mother’s take after watching the coverage of the inauguration was “They showed President Bush arriving in Texas. He was greeted by a huge cheering crowd.”

Excuse me? Was she baiting me, or just honestly that was what stood out for her?

I couldn’t resist. I said “Yes, and there was a large crowd cheering that he was leaving.”

“Oh, I just can’t understand all that hateful talk. I’m not a hater,” quoth she.

I've gone searching the blogosphere for like-minded mommies since mine has let me down.

I think this is going to be the beginning of a beautiful friendship with you folks.

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
