We're finally home! We rolled in this morning around 9:30 am and have spent the rest of the day vegging and napping, preparing for our return back to work. What was supposed to be a ten hour trip ended up taking eighteen hours. Not counting the three hours we stopped and slept at a rest stop, that's a total of fifteen hours drive time. Longest trip ever! Now it's time for December and Christmas! Oh Lord, help me please.
I think part of my problem is I don't make time to write. And then, when I finally do, I don't know how to make the mundane sound interesting. Or how to make a month or two's worth of information readable without it being a laundry list of this and that. I always say, "I'm going to do it this month.

The only time that house is quiet is when they're not there.) Oh, and we get to hear the frogs and birds singing - shame they're overshadowed
Read MoreLife is sort of back to normal, I guess. They say life is a rollercoaster - you have your ups and your downs. I always try to remember that when life is good. Not necessarily to bring myself down but more to ground myself and realize that I need to relish in the good times because there will be bad times. And the only thing that's going to get me through the rough times is to remember that life will be good again. It's just the waiting for the good times that kills me. The floors are still messed up. We are waiting
Read MoreSo here I am, finally! I've spent the past few weeks migrating this site over to Wordpress. I can't tell you exactly what made me do it. Considering Wordpress has been out about five years now, I'd say I put up a pretty damn good resistance. I think the final straw was the fact that my Movable Type dashboard never wanted to load at work. I know it wasn't blocked because we are in a "go anywhere on the web" group in my department (that, and I have access to the filter so I can
