I’m still in a way recovering from the weekend. Elizabeth’s Birthday went well, even though the majority of the kids that we invited from her school didn’t make it. She took it in stride, though, saying to me that she was kind-of sad that they didn’t come, but it was their loss because they didn’t get any cake. This morning she got to wear some of her new clothes, her new boots and her new

I’ve been very Nano-centric lately, I think more than anything to keep my mind off of the fact that I’ve invited absolute strangers with their children over to my house tomorrow. Strangers. In My House. With Children. Yeah, can you tell that my agoraphobia has kicked into high gear by inviting these people to my “safe place”. Silly? Yes. Debilitating? I’m trying real hard for it not to be. I’m sure that the kids will

Working at a college makes me jones just a little more to go back to school. Maybe it’s getting confused for a student occasionally, or just overhearing some of the classes that are going on around me on my floor that does it. I do want to go back to school so badly, but I’m having problems paying my bills already (including the student loans from my BFA), I don’t need to add more stress

Yeah for a positive amount in the bank account. I got paid last night, so that means that I can actually go out and buy things for my child’s birthday this weekend. Not a lot, though, as the car payment still must be paid. Will someone come over and finish cleaning my house for me, please? Because I just don’t have the energy. Flash is kicking my ass at work currently. I’m actually working on

I need ideas, people. I’ve been trying to find cheap or free activities to have the kids that are coming to Elizabeth’s birthday party do. I’m lost, and I’m broke…. any ideas?

I’m feeling better, other than the regular old sinus crap. Which is probably a good thing, since it’s taking everything in my power to stay conscious today at work. If you take a look to you right, over on the sidebar you’ll see a new button with the great Yoda on it. What the hell is NaBloPoMo, you ask? Well, the Absolutely Fabulous Mrs. Kennedy over at Fussy came up with yet another thing to

The Good News: My contract got extended again at the HBCU. So, I have a job at least until Thanksgiving. The Not-So-Good News: I’ve not heard anything back from State School Research Center, as they’re still interviewing people. That’s a permanent gig, so I almost wish that one had come through before I got the notice of extension. The Could-Be-Good News: The girl I’m temping for has quit to move back up North, so who

I want one damned day that I don’t feel like shit. Is that too much to ask?

Elizabeth and I had some “Quality Time” yesterday at home, since she was still running a fever from the weekend, and I, by default, get to stay home with her. Normally it doesn’t bother me at all, but guess who started feeling MUCH better right around the time that both of us should have been laying down for a nap? Yeah, joy of joys. I’ve become terribly familar with how well the futon in the

Y’all really don’t know how thankful I am that it’s Friday. WHile this week has flown by, it’s also been jam-packed with shit to do, and with my current depressive, everything becomes more critical and more intense, because all I really want to do is curl up and watch some mindless TV and read, instead of being a responsible adult. On the way to the train station this morning after dropping Elizabeth off at school,
