I rarely have my impatience about a situation end as well as it did on Wednesday. I was done with silence and all with a friend – a friend where things hit a point where I know I needed a good time out – even if I also did not want it. It has been…

Happy Birthday Indigo!
She is nine today. Holy crap, I cannot believe she is nine. Seems just yesterday that she was a four year old riding in the backseat on the way to preschool, lecturing me about driving too fast and getting pulled over by a police man….again. Or that would talk my ear off – demanding to…
When Worlds Collide
G is having problems. He is a teacher. He is a dad. He teaches his daughter. His TWEEN daughter. Since he has been a teacher in her school since she was 5, they established an understanding quickly. He is a teacher – not her dad – when they are in the school together. Obviously there…
Toys, Cats, Friends, Oh, My….
Ashly is doing her 3rd year of Toys for Tots. I love that she does this fundraiser every year. Go give her a few dollars to support her this year. I know times are tough, but that’s not the fault of the kids. Make sure they get some toys during the holidays. It’s a good…
Random Ramblings for Wednesday
First off, welcome back to Veronica over at ASM. She had walked away from blogging, but came back. We knew she couldn’t stay away. May you find the balance of topic you are hoping for. Today I start my job. Should be interesting. Their first question to me was about passive agressive people. I am…
My thoughts in bullets
Hiring for the job I interviewed for is “on hold” indefinitely. That was the last word I got on Friday afternoon as I lay in bed sick. So, I’m back to square one. It sucks, but it is what it is. Nothing I can do about it. What sucks is that they were clearly on…
Just Call Me Brook
….because I’m just going to babble…. bad pun, I know. They have been calling all of my references. Each one is pinging me after they have been contacted. The nicest one was from an old CIO I worked for who said, “They obvious love you, so I didn’t think you’d mind if I added my…
Not feeling one post, so you get my ramblings……I know, you love that, don’t you? 🙂 First off, it’s been fun seeing how many people are still reading and commenting on the post I did about open marriage. I’m glad people are getting it. Open marriage is not for everyone, but I also hate it…
Tween Cleaning
The other day, I woke up DJ by throwing things at her from her door. “Is there even carpet under the crap on your floor?” I asked after she woke up. “Moe, you can see it,” she said annoyed with my comment. Then quickly added, “kinda.” I declared it clean-your-room day. Later that evening, I…
Looking for Good
Years ago, there was this popular self-help-ish sort of book that was based on a simple idea. The idea was that we are really good at seeing all of the negative shit in our live that we forget to look for the positive stuff. So, we end the day feeling like nothing good happened, but…
