well, for the first time in nearly two months I made something for my family
to eat.  it wasn't fancy, but just the fact i could put it together all by
myself was immensely satisfying.  no great skill was required.  in fact, all
i did was use a pearing knife to hull and quarter ...

Ok, last night wasn't exactly a good night by any standards.  Picture me
sleeping peacefully and my DH comes in the door and says "honey get up" me
being in a drugged ( the doc prescribed some sleeping pills as I can't seem
to stay asleep at night) stupor wasn't quite sure of ...

That's all I gotta say.

i brought home Heidi & Liesl. they're very sweet & look like

DS is pretty much potty trained except he wouldn't go poo on the toilet.
Well, three days ago I decided no more pull-ups.  I'm not going to spend all
that money on pull-ups just for him to poo in, especially when I can just
wash his undies.  Well, tonight he went to the bathroom ...

After a few weeks of diligent wiggling (at all hours!) E finally got

yesterday:
There was a snail who went to a brand new car dealership to buy a new car.

Bit of a recap for anyone who missed it: I passed my driving test when I
was young but never really got driving afterwards. I became more and
more phobic about driving to the point that even thinking about sitting
in the drivers seat made me feel sick. It has been such a nuisance ...

Just needed to pick your brain a bit.
