Last night I had one of those “oh yeah, THAT’S why I do this” moments with my student at tutoring. We worked on math concepts for over an hour and a half, and when her mom came in to pick her up ...

I know it makes me a terrible person for saying it, but I don’t understand the whole concept of how tragic it is when a kid dies. Or, I guess, how it’s any more tragic than when anyone else dies....

I have been craving hummus for a while now and finally made it over to Whole Foods during my lunch break today. Got regular hummus, garlic, and roasted red pepper. Also got plenty of naan, which ...

Today would have been my six-year wedding anniversary. It’s not a sad thing, but it’s not something which makes me happy, either.

Oof. The tutoring session I scheduled for this afternoon ending up lasting over three hours! I wish now that I hadn’t agreed to do it…but her class only lasts four more weeks and then she is fini...

In case yesterday’s entry didn’t make sense mathematically, I take home 60% of my current tutoring rate. After I reach ten hours through the site, that will increase to 65%, then after 50 hours i...

Have I mentioned I’ve started tutoring part time? Well, I have. I had hoped for one, maybe two students to tutor after work a day or two a week. And I was contacted really quickly by a woman whos...

Working from home is craptastic. Especially when you can’t print anything! I have the neverending cough…but it’s better than being so sick that my skin hurts.

Still sick. I had to call off work because I could barely get out of bed this morning. My head is so cotton-y that I haven’t had much of an appetite all day, which doesn’t help. I did manage to g...

Today I spent the whole day (I’m not exaggerating!) in bed watching Criminal Minds with C. He was pretty sick yesterday and the day before, and I’ve started feeling dreadful now too, so we just d...

I’m coming down with something dreadful. I already have allergies something terrible this time of year, so I had assumed it was just that, but now I’m running a fever and my head feels stuffy.

G’s second birthday party was today, although technically his birthday isn’t until the end of September. It’s just how it worked out with family in town. We also have C’s sister and her two kids...

Almost…there…! Another hour and a half at work and I’ll be free to enjoy my long weekend! We should have more of those. Tonight C’s sister and her husband and kids are visiting Cbus, so they’re s...

I’m losing these last few days of summer. Tonight I went to the dog park with K (sister) and we let our dogs run around for a while, which they all seemed to enjoy (I wasn’t in the mood for a lon...

The tutoring job went very well! The student is a 10th grader and doesn’t consider herself to be “good” at math, but she was understanding the things we went through. I think the problem with a l...

I think the dogs are settling in alright. Yesterday while I was at work we had an incident. One of the dogs (not sure which one, but we are guessing Lincoln, who C has owned for over nine years) ...

I have a feeling that owning a dog is going to result in a lot of work! Last night I went to bed around 10:30 and the dogs were all downstairs (we have two baby gates, which serve a double purpos...

We went back to the animal shelter today and adopted the weimaraners! They look almost brown in these pics, but the larger one, Thomas, is a light grey and the smaller one, Cadence, is dark gre...

Today it was hotter than it has been for most of the entire summer, and it was muggy, so we decided to take G to one of the dog shelters in the area, "just to look." Bad idea. We got there and i...

I am trying to not eat out anymore, when I can help it (I spend most of my money on food in restaurants! Unbelievable). So tonight I got some...chicken, mangoes, pineapple, strawberries, mint, or...

You know what's difficult? Trying to convince a not-quite-two-year-old that you're not really so bad when his dad is in a doctor's appointment and you have to take over for twenty minutes. There ...

My second meet up went well. It was full of old women, and at one point the conversation turned to menopause, but I had a nice time. That's it, I guess.

My office is right next to the north side of our outerbelt, and it seems like there are accidents happening regularly right outside my window. It can be pretty distracting. I made that goat chees...

The eating well challenge is going great, one week in. As I think I mentioned already, last week Tuesday through Friday I ate a healthy version of tuna salad (had avocados and Greek yogurt instea...

It's been a long day (at least for me!). I'd like to say I went to church, but C asked me last night if I wanted to go to the zoo today with him and G. I figure, I don't have a lot of nice-weathe...
