Ok.  Here we go again.  For those of you who do not live in areas effected

you back soon.

Alena keeps taking off her diaper and sitting in one of her toys (it's a
wagon-esqe toy) and peeing! Not only adorable, but frustrating to clean.
Should we pick her up a potty and see if she'll do anything with it??? She's

cat for lunch in 10 seconds we want to satisfy her urge for something soft

stuff to take to some donation center because it most ...

Did my last exam of this academic year this afternoon and I shouldn't
have bothered. I was just drained. I had started the preparation
enthusiastically, but got discouraged when I encountered mathematical
problems in the course materials. I never quite recovered, so I knew my

Our dog got out of her collar and took off.  I searched the area for hours last
night and couldn't find her, so she is out there .. w/ no ID and I'm sure we
will never see her again.  
I have been in tears for hours ... C is very sad ... even DH was in tears for a

All of a sudden I notice I can't  get anything to work on my desk top!  I
