It seems my neighbor in the adjoining apartment has ants worse than I do. She’s talking of moving as her lease is up the end of the month, but so is mine and I don’t want to go through the expense or hassle of moving again. But management doesn’t seem to care about the ant [...]

Grandkids weekend
Posted in Uncategorized on July 28, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
I had the grandchildren overnight Saturday night. They were there about 22 hours straight. I am so tired still from it all that I just want to go to bed. There is a reason the young people have the children. Lexie is so little and adorable, but requires so much attention that Demetri doesn’t get [...]
Straight from a Stephen King novel

Okay, not quite, but that is what it is putting me in mind of. Remember that Stephen King movie about the rats in the factory that had a huge monster of a rat deep underground? I’m put in mind of that every time I walk into my kitchen. No, not rats. Ants. There have literally [...]
Hold On, Friday’s Coming!

It is a cool Thursday morning. Temps in the 60s, sky is cloudy, no humidity. It is quite lovely out. Wish we could have this year round, but of course that will never be and as long as I live here I must accept it. And I will probably always live here. I love visiting [...]
Fifty-three years ago today

What? Me blog twice in one day? Unheard of! However, I remembered something. Fifty-three years ago today my Aunt Kay was killed in a car accident. She was 15. I barely remember her, just a couple of instances come to mind, but I do remember that I loved her dearly and she was the first [...]
More Dreams

“Spare a little candle
Save some light for me
figures up ahead
Moving in the trees
White skin in linen
Perfume on my wrist
And the full moon that hangs over
these dreams in the mist
Darkness on the edge
Shadows where I stand
I search for the time
On a watch with no [...]
Dreams

I live another life when I sleep. I do different work (usually) sometimes my 34-year old son is a toddler again, usually my 18-year old is a toddler again but one or the other or both of them are usually in my dreams. My dream life is usually happier than my “real” life. Sometimes I don’t [...]
Monday at the Fair

Since I work for Johnson County and we have a booth at the Johnson County Fair, they ask for volunteers to work the booth for two hour shifts and you get a free polo shirt with the county logo on it. I did my stint this morning from 10:00 – noon. It was kind of [...]
Still another Friday

Friday is my favorite day of the week, after 4:30 PM that is. I know I have two whole days before I have to go back to work. I know that Saturday morning is mine to do with what I will. I sleep late, don’t get dressed until even later, and sometimes take a nap [...]
Understanding the Frustration of Others
Posted in family, granddaughter, grandson on July 17, 2008 | 1 Comment »
I just checked all the family blogs (the ones I know) and no one, not even Marge has blogged today. She says she gets frustrated when she checks blogs over and over and no one has written. Now I understand. I have to go see my doctor today so will leave in about 40 minutes. [...]
