Turkey Coma Abated...

Okay - so I'm still kickin'.

The always enjoyable, never a bore, highly contagious flu-bug has trampled its way through my house. Stretch had it before Christmas and Shorty suffered through it yesterday. So, we missed Christmas Eve/Day and Boxing Day... that was good. Hubs had to go back to work on Saturday - so that sucked ASS. He's working New Year's Eve AND Day ... so that REALLY bites. I was hoping he'd get a little time off - alas ... no rest for the wicked, I guess.

Santa found us alright and our Christmas was quite lovely. The girls were crazzzeee excited. My sister actually came out on the "eve" and spent the night ... I was rather impressed, as her man was at his family's place ... I assumed she would be with him. It was good for Mom to have her here ... and my girls.

Not a whole lot of creative juices flowing today ... I'm still wiped out from Shorty's flu ... and our flu shots - which we all got yesterday. (Yeah ... poor Shorty got the H1N1 needle and then promptly got the stomach flu. She ralphed all over the car on the way home ... good times ...

I am rather happy to report I do not have to go back to work until Jan 4th. That makes my pants wanna git up and dance.

Until I have something with some sort of entertainment value ...

Ciao!

Ugh, stomach flu is so gross. Thankfully the kids are big now and they can make it to the bathroom. I remember when they were little and they'd come stand over my side of the bed in the night "mommy, I'm gonna frow up!" Well why the bleepin hell are you standing by my bed then??! You know where the toilet is! Of course I never said that.

Glad everyone is well and Christmas was good to you! Missed you! Hope your New Year is fabulous even if you have to start it without the hubs!

Flu bites! But glad all are recovering. I think that turkey actually pools around the brain causing a lack of creative spirit...well that's my excuse. :)

oh my holy holy good gawd...and all that jazz.

I have an exceedingly unhealthy aversion to puke.

AND---my man is also working a 12 hour shift TODAY and TOMORROW.

Which means...drum roll please...I am home alone. With five kids. That would really love to see my tied up with duck tape and stuffed in a cold dark place.

Nuff said. Pray for me. I will pray for you.

Does that cancel the prayers out? I'm confused.

From One Mother, to Another

(Written Nov 29, 2022 ~ Still relevant... picking up July 20, 2023)  It's been a while.  I mean... I've typed out a whole bunch of words... over and over again... but I've been so stuck.  I had a meeting with one of the executives I support in my current position this morning. She was telling me that she's leaving the company.  She's an amazing woman. Her credentials and education are so far beyond impressive, I can't even describe... but today, she said that she was going to take a beat before moving into a new role... and spend some time with her kids.  She has two and they're young.  Her comment was that (I'm never going to get the wording right on this) she isn't the 'kind of mom that I am'. That she isn't 'there' to put them to bed and she isn't 'involved' in their day to day like I am. That her mother recently reminded her of the fact that they grow up... 'with or without you'.  I have a great deal of res

This is dedicated to the one(s) I love .... (gotta sing it)

Yesterday was my 37th birthday. I was sick for the entire day and mighty worried I was in for a pretty miserable few days. I went to work and did my thing (I know I should have stayed home, but that is not the sort of place I work in) and the gals at my office threw a little lunch time party for me, complete with chinese food and cake ... and card and song and even a gift certificate for a hair-do at a local salon (okay - so you know your "do" is a "don't" when you get a certificate like this from your co-workers... unclench, Eyvi - I know I've been bitching about my hair for months ... I'm just funnin'). To them, I say TYVM ... for making me gain 5 more pounds... no, I'm kiddin' again - I am so touched. Thanks guys - you ROCK! I don't plan to spend a whole bunch of time yaking about the 'day' itself. It's just that birthdays have a tendancy to cause somewhat of a retrospective thought path ... especially when one is campe

I know I have been a slacker on the fun MeMe's lately. I thought perhaps I might try to rectify this little problem and join in today with Chiefy and her highly fun theme. Without further ado: On Monday night, my hubs came home from work at his usual 10:30(ish) pm. I had recently awoken in my daughter's bed and come downstairs to watch one of my most fav shows (The Big Bang Theory ... don't judge me - it is funny!) ... I had fallen into a sound stupor while trying to get my brats beautiful darlings to go to sleep and I was barely coherent. My hubs had come in and then disappeared for a little while ... I thought it odd, but didn't dwell as my show was starting. When he finally came into the living room  with his plate of dinner, (yes, I save him a plate from our dinner to eat when he gets home) he asked me how I was feeling. I found that odd. I said: "Why?" in a highly suspicious tone. He didn't say anything else until the next commercial break. Hub
