Friday Poll

Why have I been maintaining blog silence this week?

I have no idea.

For whatever reason, even though I've mulled over possible blog posts, none of them ever made their way to your screen. I guess it is called busy and tired, plus a soupcon of lazy thrown in for good measure.

Yesterday, I had a really busy day that popped out of nowhere. I was pretty much on the go from 9:30 to 4:00, and that's fine. But it annoyed me somewhat that my day formed itself, rather than me having it formulated already. I don't like surprises, although I am adaptable. I am adaptable, but grumpy about doing so.

Do you like to have your day planned, or do you just go with the flow?

I like to plan as much as I can. Like you, I'm a grumpy adapter. This weekend I have PLANNED to do a lot of nothing. :) Have a great weekend.

I tend to have one or two things in mind for the day and then go from there. I am not too much of a scheduler but all the doctors and therapist appointments have forced me to be more of one.

interesting to think about...

I am a planner. I like to plan the day all out. I get energized by thinking of things I'm going to do. I start my day with all sorts of ideas of things I want to accomplish. I usually even start on them first thing in the morning and then something happens. I completely stop and nothing gets done. And even if it is me who stops the doing and changes the plans, I am still grumpy about it. If someone else changes the plans (even if it was unlikely I would actually do them) I'm pissed.
But you see I'm also lazy as shit... you don't see shit getting up and doing stuff now do you? no... that's me. Make a big entrance and then I just sit there.
:)

Happy Friday!

I live by my schedule, baby. In fact, my husband and I just synced up our calendars so I can both see what I am supposed to be doing AND what he is doing in one fell swoop.

I pink puffy heart my calendar.

I try to plan things out, but sometimes life just doesn't work the way you want it to.

Don't feel bad. Seems like everybody in my neighborhood has the blogging blahs this week.

I am a total planner. I will go with the flow, if needed, but would much rather know what is coming my way and be ready for it!

I'm a planner. I pretend not to care when plans change, but no one's buying it, because I suck at the pretending.

My happiest days are when I have a list, and I accomplish everything on it. That doesn't mean I don't enjoy the things I'm doing. Just means that I like that feeling of accomplishment.

Open up the taps, baby, and let it flow.

It depends on what's on the schedule. If it's booked with things I'd prefer to ignore, then I get really miffed.

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
