Hello, World!

I have been very remiss in my posting the last few months. 
I have starting feeling a lot better, and I have resolved to remedy this blogging problem.  I do, afterall, have a TON of things to post about here lately!
1st update, this was taken 9-30-09, it’s a GREAT profile of the little alien!
No - we [...]

School Update

Well, day 2 has come and gone for the girls.
Brittany’s classes are blocked now.  She has A block and B block.  She likes her A block classes and doesn’t really care for B block.  Amazingly, no teachers “hate her” yet.  (So and so just hates me!  That’s why she’s so mean!  Parents - you know [...]

School has started

Sigh.
I get really tired of trying to think of witty, cute one liner titles for my blogs.  Perhaps I should just start with a date system or something.
School has started for the chirrens of Casa DuBose as of yesterday.
Brittany got most of the classes she wanted (including theater which is what she was REALLY hoping [...]

Hot showers should not be taken for granted.

Yay!  So, I found my powercord for my laptop.  Exactly where I thought it was, only when I was looking for it, it was dark and I couldn’t see it.  Yay me!  Yay fullsize keyboard!
We have our new hotwater heater.  Ray and our neighbor, Jake, installed it last night.  It rocks.  The water is hot.  [...]

Can’t seem to get a break…

It has been a Monday of a Tuesday.
I can’t find the powercord to my laptop, so I’m am stuck using the little Dell Mini.  The keyboard is SOOOO small!  I have GOT to find my powercord asap!
Earlier (like yesterday) I heard what I thought was water trickling in our kitchen.  BUT, I had just done [...]

My Girls

An update on my girls:
Last Friday Brittany was inducted into the National Junior Honor Society. 
Her softball team finished 2nd in the city.
They won their playoff game yesterday 10-3, and will advance to the next round.
SWEET!!
Hailey is doing great in karate and bushikai. 
She is currently studying sai, and has been known on occasion to want to [...]

Too Many Thoughts, Too Much to Do

I promised myself I’d be very Stalin-esqe in making myself blog more.  Now that I have this nifty new space, I haven’t said much, have I?
Problem now is, I have too much rolling through my mind - if I took the mice out of the wheel, it’d keep on turning on it’s own at this [...]

Garden time

Our neighbors Jake and Dana have a garden every year.
This year they put aside an entire row for Hailey to plant whatever she wanted to.
Today, we planted 4 tomato plants (3 different types), some bell pepper, some banana pepper, some cauliflower, and watermelon.
She is so excited over planting her own garden, I hope she has [...]

Back Online

The internet connectivity at my office has been down more than it has been up today.  I’m seizing the chance at a post, hoping I get it typed before the internet goes back down!
Update:  We got everything back last night.  Still missing one Ferb shirt, which we can not find anywhere at our house.  Who [...]

Has it been that long?

I don’t know about you, but life has been pretty friggin crazy here lately.  No vacation.  No GW.  Ray in NY for two weeks.  Work crap.  Financal crap.  School crap.  yeah, Depression city, HIYA!
Just… crap.
I’ve been so overly bogged down with being way too worked up over, well, everything lately, that it wasn’t until today [...]
