Kind of worried
2007-10-27 06:34:00 It’s silly, surely we can manage a week right? My husband’s work might send him for training soon and we’ll be on our own. It’s just a week, less than.. like 5 days. Technically four since we get to see him before he goes and same day he returns so not too bad I guess. ... More About: Worried

Oil paints
2007-10-23 08:33:00 Today we bought an oil paint kit, brushes, brush cleaner, and 5 boards to paint on. Soon we start painting classes! Spending the money on it makes us feel very very guilty, but he said do it! Sign up, order the supplies, and go for it. We got a kit on sale online, plus brushes ... More About: Paints
Some art
2007-10-21 04:53:00 We have no idea of proper technique or how to mix colors, just sort of.. had at it. Got some library books though to kind of learn from. Today we got brave enough (with my husband’s help!) and went into a gallery to ask about classes. The teacher wasn’t on site, so ... More About: Some
Bleh
2007-10-19 04:20:00 Just feel bleh. Worn out. Tired. Like a slug. Laying down doesn’t help. Reading LOLcat sites don’t help. Not really sad, just bleh. Afraid we’re coming down with something. Always thirsty, but more so today. Drank like 9 of these 24oz bottles. Just refilling the same one over and over, peeing like there’s no end in sight now too but still excessively ...
To tell
2007-10-16 19:41:00 Just want to wear a shirt that says “Yes, I’m a Village!” Just get it all out there and be me.. be us.. Tired today. Got up, couldn’t sleep more, finished a few projects that are quiet to do. Need husband to wake up so we can sew the last few things. Then probably go take a ...
Sucessful day
2007-10-16 02:57:00 Got through everything that was on the original list except doing dishes. Quite possibly the most necessary one on the list too. But, we got most of the sewing done. Only thing left is easy to cut/sew. Won’t take but a couple hours tomorrow to finish that up. Then unless we’re all wrong, we’re done with ...
Lists
2007-10-15 19:32:00 Today, in order to feel useful, making a list. We make lots of lists of things to do but today’s is different. There’s four or five things on it that we’d really like to get done, about 5 things that can get done this week but prefer to do it today cause it’s nice outside and it ... More About: Lists
Still recovering
2007-10-11 03:33:00 Bleh.. still exhausted from Saturday! Too much sun, made us sick but it was worth it. We’ll feel better by the weekend, enough to actually go back out hehe! Got to return a couple things. The bike rack didn’t fit properly, and a frame we bought is damaged. That totally sucks!! So this week we’ve done ... More About: Erin
Best day!
2007-10-07 05:20:00 We had so much fun! Husband and us had bestest time ever! Completely and 100% exhausted, it is hard to type whew. We are not supposed to do this much in one day, in the heat, and sun.. will be suffering within a few days for a bit but you know what? It will be worth ...
On a lighter note
2007-10-05 23:44:00 I’m totally cracking up. Hoping hoping that tomorrow is a good day! If all goes well, we’ll get to spend the entire day out with husband! It will be fun. Looked up stuff for one city we could have gone to for the day but there’s a couple very major town events going on that draw ... More About: Note , Lighter
Disturbing dream
2007-10-05 22:20:00 It was horrible. Had there not been sound, it would likely have been a lot less scary. Just a dream, not a flashback as the events of the dream could not have possibly happened to the people in the dream. Hiding it behind a clip, as to not be exceedingly gross or scary for those just ... More About: Dream , Bing
Ill friend
2007-10-05 07:30:00 Our dearest friend is ill, very much so unfortunately. She’s been ill since shortly after we first met her in an mIRC chatroom long ago. Today she is sicker. We pray hard every day for her and her husband. We don’t expect God to make them well, even if we do pray for that too. ... More About: Family , Friend
Our pet
2007-10-03 19:31:00 She was very weak last night and by this morning had passed away. She’s buried in a nice spot, protected by a cement block to prevent anything horrible happening due to other animals, and a pretty rose from our garden. She was our favorite. Having to struggle to keep it in memory, a few villagers are ... More About: Family

A bunny cam!
2007-09-30 05:56:00 Watch bunnies that live on the west coast (use internet explorer!) There is actually 2 cams going, cause I think it is 2 cages. One has a bunny who lives alone and the other seems to be two bunnies. You need to use internet explorer. Firefox won’t open the cams for me. Right now the two bunnies ... More About: Bunny
Progress
2007-09-29 19:16:00 I’m all excited about the fact I loaded the dishwasher. That’s just lame. The villagers are happy too, the one at the door says it is good.. it got done, and now we can rest and not feel guilty. Time to do something fun she says, so first we’ll eat breakfast cause we never did ... More About: Progress
Bleh
2007-09-29 17:05:00 Still feel the same. It’s very sunny out so that helps a little. Tired of seeing people on tv with friends that they sit somewhere and laugh. Sometimes I see that commercial, do they show this there for you? There’s a man standing just before the camera, back facing the viewer. They show a large group ...
Alone
2007-09-29 01:15:00 How can I feel lonely? This is silly. Should not feel lonely. No reason to. Just want to cry. Friend is sick, pet is very sick and slowing down so fast, husband has to work tomorrow again so we can’t go to the movies or go anywhere fun together, joints hurt so bad it is hard to stand today ...
Funny, Reunion site
2007-09-27 01:31:00 Oh my gosh.. I’m laughing! You know, a year ago.. this would REALLY have upset me! Like freaking me out, panic attack, type upset. For some reason, I think it’s funny. Might be because I have a couple Benadryl working through my blood stream (ahh… not itching myself crazy now). A year ago I’d of ... More About: Funny , Family , Site , Reunion
Tired
2007-09-26 06:11:00 Very tired. Lost much of the day it seems. Cleaned the tub though, tomorrow I gotta find that spray and clean the shower walls. The spray reeks something nasty, but it works. I read some reviews of L&O:SVU’s new episode. I think I’ll wait till daylight on a really good day to watch it. What I’ve read from ... More About: Tired , Tire
Touchy subject
2007-09-25 23:36:00 I dislike having my photo taken. I really didn’t know why until fairly recently. It’s incredibly upsetting when I see news articles about someone printing inappropriate pictures involving children at a Walmart, another being caught with 20+ years worth of photos of the same type manner, another where they’re searching desperately for the little girl in ...

Our pets
2007-09-24 22:52:00 We have two pets, not counting the plants we keep. They are old. One is getting weaker very quickly the last couple of days. It’s been a slow decline until recently. It’s a horrible thing to admit, but when we go past their cage, I have to make sure she’s still alive. Between last ... More About: Family , Pets

2007-09-22 20:39:00 maybe I’m just crazy Maybe I am. What if I live in a made up world, what if although they’re real to me..w hat if I’m just crazy? What if my whole life I’ve been a complete nutcase. They always said I was crazy. They always said I’d never do anything with my life, I’d never ...
Feel like crying
2007-09-22 17:59:00 I don’t know why. It’s nice weather out. Feel pretty okay as fara s health goes, not well enough to bike but it could be worse. So why do I feel like I’m about to break down and cry. I feel stupid. Neighbors are holding a family reunion or something today. I felt like crying before I ... More About: Crying
We?re around
2007-09-21 04:25:00 Fighting off a spot of ringworm, which is starting to heal nicely. Caught a cold, feel like crap. Busy organizing embroidery floss. That turned out to be a major project, didn’t expect that for some reason. Reading some blogs, just dunno what to say on any of them from crafty to fellow multiples. Hit the jackpot ...
L&O SVU, Sept 25th
2007-09-17 04:28:00 The episode will be about a multiple. I saw the commercial earlier. I hope they do not portray her as a spaz with an inner murderer. That’s so typically Hollywood. Part of why I keep it so secret, everyone sees this junk on TV, in books, in the news with what I suspect is some fake claims ... More About: Sept
Over the edge
2007-09-15 21:21:00 No, I haven’t lost my grip on reality. The edge I’m talking about is the couch or bed. It dawned on me today as I lay on the bed surveying my organization progress of craft supplies, that my feet and hands were hanging over the edge. I was laying diagonal on the bed.
