That magical morning number; 5:00 am. The time of decisions.
2008-05-27 12:23:00 I woke at 3:30 am in a panic wondering how we were going to pay for Kats college bills when she graduates high school next year. My mind swirled with thoughts of college in general - not knowing how to maneuver through these new waters. My husband and I didn't attend traditional colleges. I have no idea where the process even starts. Is there a "sending your child to college" book for More About: Time , Morning , Decisions , The Time , Number
5 hours and counting..........
2008-05-26 19:42:00 How funny that we should wake this morning with no plans whatsoever in place. After a leisurely morning find ourselves deciding at 12:00 noon that we should hold 'something' here tonight. So The Boyfriends parents have been invited over as well as an open invitation to the kids to have one or a few of their friends to join us. And although my due any second now pregnant friend was invited she More About: Hours , Counting
If I Were A Rich Man...( deedle deedle daedle deedle daedle dum...)
2008-05-26 16:18:00 I just showed my son and my husband a watch I stumbled upon on a website. It was a nice looking watch, but nothing that was glitzy or could jokingly be called 'bling'. As it was, it was a simple, nice looking watch that a businessman could wear. It wasn't full of diamonds, it wasn't even gold. What caught my eye was the price. I guess I can't wrap my brain around the fact that I would have More About: Rich
A Flashback To When He Was 5
2008-05-26 00:40:00 Too funny: My 15 year old saw there was a free "Turbo Racer" in the box of Cheerios. Was uber excited. Has played with it for over 15 minutes now. Getting a laugh at making the cat chase it. I don't think he's played with a little car in about 10 years. I love it. More About: Flashback
17 Year Old For Sale FREE
2008-05-26 00:15:00 I hear the garage opening. I think it's my 17 year old but it *could* be my husband if he got off early. I hear the door open. I hear a shoe being 'kicked' out of the way. I smile and call out; "I knew it was you when I heard you kick something!" It was the 17 year old of course. Without so much as a smile or hello she tosses her bag on the counter and walks to the refrigerator. I am More About: For Sale , Free , Sale , Year
What's So Different, Really? Besides the Way They Dress.

Couples having multiple marriages or sexual partners and not staying in monogamy.Men jumping from one relationship to another always looking for younger, more pretty (?) wife.Women having multiple children with different 'Baby Daddies'.Young, uneducated girls getting pregnant when they should be focused on school and learning.

I Should Be Sleeping
2008-05-25 16:10:00 Sunday Morning. A day I would have loved to have slept in as I was up quite late last night thanks in part to the late night pot of coffee I made and then the ice cream drumstick I ate which gave me a sugar rush. I was also half heartedly waiting up for Kat to get home from babysitting and my husband from work. But anyway; the point is I was up late and would have liked to have slept in.

If I Can't Watch Xanadu, I'll Blog Instead Random and Odd. You are Warned
2008-05-25 04:03:00 Warning; I've had coffee tonight. I cannot be held responsible for the rambling post that will, most likely, commence. Tonight I had an urge to watch Xanadu . We don't however, own it. And I have no money to rent it (I doubt my movie rental store would even have it... and now that I think about it the clerk behind the counter is so young they've probably never heard of it and would say 'what More About: Watch , Random , Blog
A Memorial Weekend Shout Out For Project Compassion
2008-05-24 15:50:00 My brother has been active in the military since he was 17 years old. Honestly, his heart has been there since he was about 6. From the age of 9 on up you would find him in camouflage every moment he wasn't in school clothes or church clothes. Christmas, Birthdays and any other gift-giving appropriate holiday would find him asking for more 'army men' in which he would built huge war scenes More About: Project , Weekend , Compassion , Memorial , Shout
Saturday... Random Coffee Talk. No... Really. I'm not Joking.
2008-05-24 15:29:00 Guten Morgan from the Coffee haus! Ha, you would think I'm German or something! Ok... I am. I'm heavy German mixed with a little Luxembourg (although there has always been a family squabble between some that exclaim, "just say 'We're Dutch!' the others reply, "We're not Dutch, we're Luxembourg!"

Is Ashlee Simpson Pregnant? What Do You Think?
2008-05-24 03:34:00 Last week one of our Coffee Talking topics was Ashlee Simpson 's 'quickie' wedding by her oh-so-weird father. This week the photos all over the internet are of her honeymoon in the Caribbean. The big question persists; Is she or isn't she? I don't know... and part of me really doesn't care. But the 'mommy' in me loves to talk about babies, pregnancies and such and that part of me saw this More About: Pregnant
The Girl Child Update
2008-05-24 03:01:00 Well... in a nutshell, she is going to stay elsewhere tonight. A little bit more of that nutshell is; It's not nearly what she made it out to be. And although I don't doubt that her Dad may have hit or slapped her at one or some point, there are reasons (that I mentioned previously that I don't want to blog about on a public blog) that I had some doubts about the story or at least to it being More About: Girl , Update , Child , The Girl
The Girl Child Is Here
2008-05-23 22:44:00 Musings over an Izze Sparkling Clementine (which is really yucky after mint gum... I'm just givin' you a heads up). I wasn't sure if I'd be picking up a girl child as well as my son but when I pulled up in front of the school she was on the bench with my son. I broached the subject of just how long she would be staying with us and her reply was that she didn't know; she was talking to her Mom. More About: Girl , Child , The Girl
Not Quite Sure What to Say About This Yet
2008-05-23 18:17:00 *Names obviously changed in this post. And for the record "Missy" is my sons 'ex' girlfriend that he dated for only about a month at Christmas time and they broke up because they wanted to be good friends and the whole 'dating' thing was getting in the way. Last night I announced to my son that I was going to bring his sister dinner at work, then go to the library, then drive to the next town

Double Birthday Cakes are in the Near Future... both are 80th birthday par
2008-05-22 23:16:00 A few days ago I pointed out to my husband that his Dads birthday was coming up in just a couple weeks. Not just 'any' birthday, but a big one. The big "80". Plans were put into place that our family will be traveling to his home that weekend to celebrate his birthday. So... obviously we need a gift.

That Kind of Day... I terrorized ants and spent 40 minutes at the dentist
2008-05-22 01:10:00 Blame it on my oldest daughter having my computer with her at school: I ended up doing laundry, dusting the living room, cleaning the table, organizing all the cans of paint and painting supplies in the storage room, emptying 'almost gone' paint into smaller sized mason jars and marking them, watering the garden as well as other stuff like; One sewing project Painted a bathroom wall More About: Ants , Minutes , Dentist
Another rambling entry that goes no where... but it's Coffee Talk!
2008-05-21 13:58:00 The mug in the coffee photo this morning really has no deep meaning other than the fact that it really is the coffee mug I am drinking out of this morning so you can visualize my morning coffee it you want. I haven't been online since yesterday morning and for me, that's weird.

2008-05-20 14:25:00 I know I'm not the only one that constantly tries to 'remind' herself; "You've got to remember to blog about that!" and like a dummy, I always think I will.

Being Anti-Social in a Good Way
