Desperate, again in --
I haven’t had proper sleep in three years and I’m starting to get desperate.
I think today is free slurpee day at 7/11. GO GET ONE. I’ve never had one. Have one for me. Anyway. I’m back at my in laws’! I needed to get homework done and we don’t have internet for another ...
Cannon said “I love you” for the first time!!! He said it to me. Oh my gosh, it melted my whole heart. He also gave me a kiss after he said it. My boy. <3 He’s making such great progress, I am...
Life’s going. We move in a couple of days. I’m excited! But I don’t look forward to unpacking. I’m just glad that when we are done unpacking, it’ll be the last time we unpack for a LONG time, if ...
We moved out of our rental house, and we close on the new house July 8th. We are staying with Jacob’s parents until then. I wish I had my own space. I can’t do my own laundry because whenever I ...
referring to women as "girls" in --
Why are so may people offended when I say that I think referring to grown women as “girls” bothers me? I get that “it’s just a word” thing and “but men are called boys too!!” Uhh, not really. Peo...
Living history, we are. in --
History has been made today. It is so wonderful and absolutely amazing to see a marginalized group of people gain a basic right today. I am so thrilled. I have been on the verge of happy tears al...
What I've learned about teaching summer school at an urban high school in --
I’m done with my summer practicum tomorrow. I have learned that I don’t know much about the Cold War. I have learned that kids sometimes don’t have filters, and will ask you probing questions. I ...
I need some fun in my life. My school work and internship, along with parenthood and housework take up all of my time. I’m really stressed. I guess this is how life is though.
I’m still crazy busy… We close on July 8th. We have to be out of our current house by the end of June. So we will be staying at Jacob’s parents’ house for a week. I’ll have to travel an hour and ...
WE GOT THE HOUSE!
Busy, busy. – Internship is going okay, but some things have bothered me. I don’t have the time to write about it right now though. I start classes on Monday. – Lorelei is almost walking! She cra...
I’ve been pretty busy. I’m too tired to write a detailed entry. We’ve looked at so many houses lately, and we’ve been beaten out of so many houses lately by other applicants. Bleh. Friday – went ...
I have to be at a meeting that I got less than 24 hours’ notice of tomorrow at 8am. And Cannon woke up from a nap a 9pm. Tomorrow probably won’t be good, BUT we are going to go to a Thomas the T...
So I thought we had the house… but we don’t. The owner failed to tell us that there was an applicant before us that she decided to give the house to. We waited four days before she said anything ...
We found a house! We put in our applications today, hopefully it’ll be the one. We both love it. There are three bedrooms upstairs (one of which has a half bath attached to it), and a full bathr...
I got my student teaching placement for the fall and spring semesters. It’s at the same school that Jacob student taught in. How crazy is that? I’m really nervous. The days have been really slow ...
I am so tired! I can barely function today. I started working out last week again after a two month hiatus and I have less energy and I’m much more worn out than normal. I’m trying to eat enough...
Communication is hard. in --
Man, I wish I had better communication skills. Today has been really rough. I was woken up at 2am to Lorelei spitting up on me (it got in my hair too). She seems fine today, so she probably just ...
I finished my last final. Hooray! Jacob’s parents came down to watch the kids so I could go do that. Cannon also had his first autism evaluation at our house. The next one will be at the hospital...
the world's a stage in --
I don’t believe people pay as much attention to us as much as we think. I suppose I outgrew the adolescent “spotlight syndrome” thing. I am usually oblivious to others in public. I suppose I’m mo...
drag thoughts in --
I’ll never be a drag queen, because I have a vagina, but if I could be one.. My name would be Pearl Clutcher. It sums me up pretty well. I’m very high-strung, uptight, and old lady-ish in many wa...
developments! in --
Cannon pointed to the turtles on Lorelei’s shirt this morning and said “tortoise.” Where did he learn that! :D Lorelei has been standing by herself for longer periods of time. She’ll be walking ...

I finished my paper yesterday. One more final and an article summary due this Friday, and I’m done for another two weeks. Yay. I was kind of sad that my last class of feminist theory was last we...
