Good Morning!
While I normally harbor an unnatural love of Mondays, on this particular morning I am fighting a sinus/chest infection or something of that nature and so am not as peppy and upbeat as usual.
I did have a lovely weekend, however, and so that makes up for the fact that I’ve run myself somewhat into the ground [...]

72 hours to go.
Somehow it seems shorter when I think of it in hours, rather than days.
My mum and I are still getting along just fine, but between you and me, I’m ready for her to go home. It’s not that she has done anything terrible, it’s just that her presence interferes with, well, almost everything. I [...]

My mum has been here for almost 24 hours now, and so far, so good.
Last night after we got the kids to bed she sat and chatted with me while I worked on Aiden’s chainmail (the green and black, shown below) and has offered her assistance in weaving it. I was pleased that she appreciated my project, [...]

My mother has been threatening…err, talking about coming out for a visit for several months now, so I suppose I shouldn’t have been so surprised when she phoned me last night to let me know that she was booking a flight.
A flight for next Wednesday.
And she’s not going home until the Wednesday after that.
A whole [...]

In response to this post, Tonya enquired as to our contract and how Jack feels about another man ordering me around and telling me what to do. I wanted to address this in it’s own post because a comment reply could potentially be five miles long, heh Ya’ll know how I get so [...]

In response to my previous post, Perakath remarked:
I feel a bit bad for Jack! Is he really okay with it all?
I [...]

Aiden has now “officially” moved in with us. He has basically been living here for the past two weeks, but yesterday he gave notice to his landlords, and we fetched a bunch of his things from his apartment.
While we were in town we had dinner with his parents, and he let them know that he [...]

It’s Monday! I realized, while driving the eldest minion to school this morning, that I haven’t blogged in over a week, but I promise that I have good reasons for that.
Last weekend I went out with friends on Friday night and saw Daybreakers (pretty good movie, but unless you’re really into non-sparkly vampires, I would wait [...]

In response to Monday’s post, Sharon asked:
I’m very curious on how you are going to discuss this with your children now and on-going?
That’s an excellent question, and deserves a post unto itself. As an aside, if anyone would like to ask questions about our co-habitation arrangement, that I can’t answer in a sentence or two, I [...]

“He practically lives at my house” I remarked the other day to a friend during conversation. Even when he’s not here, you’d not know it. His socks, and other items of clothing, are regularly found mixed in with the rest of the laundry that languishes, unfolded, on one of the spare beds. When I do [...]
