Please say a prayer tonight for our friend Juli. She just turned 4 like Dorothy and has the same syndrome. She is extremely ill with pneumonia in the PICU unable to breath on her own. She’s a very special little girl and I know her whole family would greatly appreciate your prayers.

A side note on the previous entry.
It’s my fault I moved back and left myself open to it. I just have to find a way to let them know that they matter greatly to me but their opinions do not. They have opinions on everything too from how the doctors should fix Dorothy, to my parenting, to our dogs.
Or at least get through to myself that even if they treat me like I’m the worst mother in the world I’m really...
Monday - things that bug me.
Sarcasm: Well I guess I’ll go get showered so I can drag my selfish butt to school. I do this so I can ignore my family. No one wants to stay home, cook, clean, do laundry, and play with their kids anymore. I just don’t care that it makes me a terrible mother. I’ll drop those kids off at daycare and kindergarten and forget about them.
That’s my Families version of what I...
Sunday night.
I was invited out to do homework with friends.
I’m opting to stay home drink vodka and watch a show about polygamy.
Priorities people.
crystalposey-deactivated2011041 asked: What are your three favorite fiction books of all time?
For the Record.
I’m going to put this out there on the internets…
I hate valentines day. I’m refusing to let it get the best of me this year.
I have 15 days to prepare to not celebrate it. The girls have to celebrate it because schools buy into this crap now. So we are celebrating it as a “Love the family” day.
I would much rather celebrate the male version of the holiday that...
F YOU RIGHT BACK SATURDAY
WHO DO I TALK TO IN ORDER TO PUT IN MY TWO WEEKS NOTICE AT THIS SHIT JOB?
Pep Talk for Saturday.
Saturday, I have no classes in you. I have no obligations in you.
I have time to get work done for the days when I don’t have time to so much as eat a granola bar, but really all I want to do in you is lay against a pillow with a blanket and read some stupid book that I don’t want to admit to anyone I’m reading.
I have papers due. One on domestication of animals in the...
Update
I have cleaned, NONE of the things.
I saw that error as I hit post.
I edited 2 seconds later but tumbler is a bitch.
I knew stookey-girl would catch me, and she did.

Overheard after 11pm...
Dorothy: Dinosaurs can’t go fishing Ethan: Why not? Dorothy: Because they do not have hands. Ethan: That is infallible logic. Dorothy: Yeah, except those dinosaurs rex. They have hands, and go fishing.
mush.
I have this essay due on Descartes meditations. I’m sitting here putting it in standard form. Trying to comment on structure, and content, and context. Trying to form my own argument on his argument that thinking makes you real. EXCEPT. I cannot think. See I have a child with a 102 fever who didn’t sleep last night, who just fell asleep after screaming for 2 hours. I had to hand...
The only place that can figure out how to get my keys out of my land rover is the dealer. Really it’s hilarious to watch, and yet I don’t understand what gives people so much trouble with them.

Suddenly, Monday isn’t looking all that bad.
To whom it may concern:
Converse are awesome shoes for times when your chacos or flip flops are not acceptable footwear. However during wet NW winter weather, they will be no better then if you wore the sandals.
For all that is good, please try to grow out of your 20s hipster phase and put on real shoes. Please remember you just spent $120 on a pair of Keens for this purpose.
Respectfully,
Your toes
please note.
D just handed me her doll and it’s dress: Mom you need to dress this doll.
Me: Why you know how to dress your doll
D: I am WAY to busy to put a dress on my doll. You need to do it.
Me: 0_0
I am watching the tooth fairy movie.
I’m not sure why the rock made this but even though I like him I swore to never watch it.
Then directv gave us HBO. We were bored… The rest is history.
Please kill me quickly, I’m actually laughing.

This spring I'm going to
Paint the living room and kitchen.
Take the LSAT
Get a 4.0 (This would earn me an extra 2,000 dollars worth of government money per semester for my degree so it’s important).

Truthful Tuesday Redux
I lived.
Barely.
9+ hours of classes with under 1 hour break all day isn’t really healthy.
Unfortunately I think it’s life on Tuesdays, at least for now.
In my last class of the day I found out I would be leading town meetings. I like the public about as much as I like a hole in my head. Given the options between bullet in the head and leading a town meeting educating on wolves....
Truthful tuesday
I learned today that natives were badasses at catching literally MILLIONS of salmon a year with nets and spears.
I also learned that I need a bathroom break every hour and 15. And 15 min barely gives me enough time.
Damn you healthy water intake. Damn you.
Ew. Monday. Ew.
I have a dog who throws up multiple times a day on my carpet. Problem: I don’t know which dog.
This means I can’t get rid of… Or take to the vet, the sick culprit.
I have considered throwing them all out, after stepping in dog puke that was under my desk a couple moments ago.
MLKJr day
I was scanning the news. Then I wikied MLKJr… And I was scanning quotes and speeches. All of which were amazing and worth reading. These caught my eye:
“The law cannot make a man love me, but it can stop him from lynching me, and I think that’s pretty important too.”
“Means we use must be as pure as the ends we seek”
-Martin Luther King Jr.
Ethan is cooking. Which is code for “we are at the local kids eat free on Sunday’s pizza joint”
The TO DO list.
School:
Phil 240 readings: Bertrand Russel, Malcom
Phil 240 email to professor
Hist 424 Readings: mann, creatures of an empire 1-3.
Poli Sci reading: Lindblom
Forestry reading: Value of life, and leopold (for the record I’ve read leopold so many times I wouldn’t dare need to read it again, but I want to)
Forestry reflection paper.
Comm quizzes 1-4 (the only thing checked off on...
Please note:
My leopard print snuggie which appears in 1/3 - 3/4 of all photos I take was a gift last christmas. I embraced it, wholeheartedly because it is OMG awful and well things like that tend to work well for me lol.
It is also the only blanket of mine that my kids NEVER steal. Damn kids, stealing blankets.
It was 50 degrees today. I took a long walk. Ate a burrito outside. Took 3 quizzes, got 100% on all of them.
Best of all? I wore my converse all-stars and my feet didnt freeze.
Saturday - you are win.
Honestly...
Moscow only has one badass Iraqi hairdresser, I really really hope she doesn’t stop cutting my hair because I’m a creeper.
At least I tip well?
In a parking lot:
I just told my hairdresser that I was thinking about her this morning in the shower.
WatchIt’s raining men! It’s been that kind of night….
Here we go
At the end of the first day back to classes I can honestly say something about being around adults challenges your mind in such a way that I am literally wiped out.
I’m just not conditioned to be required to think. I’m going to have to workout my mind AND my body for awhile. Though I hear working out your body makes you smarter maybe I’ll just count on that.
Plus I added...
Hi. My name is Kim I’m a shopaholic
A note
I’m sorry perky instructor. I do not share your enthusiasm. Maybe I did when I was 23, but I doubt it. Please don’t do anymore hair flips, please.
