getting bad treatment from @TMobile

June 20, 2011

I have AT&T cell phone service. When I moved to GA the summer of 2009, I had Tmobile and was very happy. Unfortunately, our house was built REALLY close to cell phone tower, so the signal literally goes OVER my house. LIKE THIS When we moved into this house over two years ago we ran [...]

there’s a house…

March 28, 2011

There’s a house. In Florida. The first one Peter and I ever owned. The one we brought our babies homes to. Back when we never had a thought to what the future had in store. We had to leave that house to make that future in Georgia. Leaving people we trusted to take care of [...]

the story of pants

March 21, 2011

This falls into that WAY TMI category, but I have to tell the tmi for it all to make sense. Sorry. Not sex, Mom. Months ago I asked my therapists a questions I figured they would have a solution for. “When you only have one arm to hold you, how do you pull you pull [...]

reposted from Hope4Peyton – “Locks of Love, you disappoint me greatly”

March 4, 2011

This a a post I wrote on my blog Hope4Peyton. It told of my frustration and anger at Locks of Love. I’m still angry with them for letting people believe lies for financial gain. Read it. Share it.  Don’t forget it. (damn, I used a lot of words!) Ok, fasten your seat belts because this [...]

the choices i make

February 20, 2011

Lately it has seemed that I’m making choices to make others unhappy. True. Decisions I have made have caused some to be less than thrilled. I know that. I had to weigh those choices. My family’s needs won every time. The needs of those who are close to me take priority. It’s not that I [...]

when every shoe can’t be high-heeled

July 29, 2010

There was a time when I used to be a pro at shoe-shopping. It was one of my limited talents. I don’t build things, I don’t invent things, I don’t bake things that I see on the Food Network. But I can buy some shoes. And then I had strokes. And my feet were different [...]

don’t make me smack the &$@%^#! out of you

July 20, 2010

Someone shared news with me and I was happy for them. Happy with them. Someone else was the voice of unhappiness and they grumbled the slightest bit. They grumbled just enough for me to realize that it was true.  They were snarky JUST long enough for it to feel sincere. They let me hear the [...]

i sometimes get excited by silly things like unicorns and tax returns

May 11, 2010

Every day is something new.  A reason to be excited. Whether I’m able to move my leg a little more, or see some progress in my face…there is always something. And a part of me is worried.  About the friends that will see me like this for the first time this summer.  The ones that [...]

If we’d had one more day there probably would’ve been a boar’s head on a stick somewhere

November 3, 2009

Corporations would call it a “Team Building”. At Aiming Low, we call it “Times when you’d better wear a diaper cause chances are good you might pee a little”. (I don’t even watch The Office and this is funny…probably because I love Ali Martell…no, I REALLY love Ali Martell) I mean, come on, there’s not [...]

After this I may bash Mickey Mouse in the head next time I see him

August 24, 2009

Back in June, we moved into our new house in Georgia. Six days into it, I *thought* I saw a mouse or rat in the kitchen.  Appropriate amounts of pants-crapping took place. Pest guy was contacted, no rodent was located or ever seen again.  Food stopped being noshed on and it looked as though it [...]

And THIS? Is how it all starts to spiral out of control

August 21, 2009

My son got hit on for the first time. She walked by and looked at him and then said “I think you’re pretty hot.” He never quit smiling all evening. That is all. I can be found huddled in the back of my closet, swigging straight from the bottle and comfort eating Jelly Bellies.

I live for these moments!!

August 20, 2009

Sometimes it just does not pay to even bother opening your eyes in the morning….. At 7:30 Rachael wakes me up.  WAKES ME UP.  We have to be out the door at 7:45 to get the girls to school on time. Apparently my alarm clock bothers her so she comes in and turns it off. [...]

The evolution of moving furniture

August 12, 2009

There is an armoire in my living room. The armoire in my living room is IN my living room because there is no room in my bedroom. There is a bookshelf (AKA “Dumping Grounds of the Gods”) that has to move from my bedroom to the living room. The bookshelf is six feet wide. So, [...]
