A few months ago I said we would stay in Bloomington until I was absolutely sure it was time to go. This week I had that moment of clarity when I was absolutely sure it is time to go. We won't get up and move out next week, but I think we'll be leaving after … Continue reading WTF?!
Life
Fuzzy Wuzzy
On vacation... in Arizona... with friends and family. I can't believe I'm even thinking of this, but we are considering a move back if things don't work out in Bloomington. Have to find out many things first, mainly whether Jasmine could be cared for here. I'm in such a fuzzy state. I need to get … Continue reading Fuzzy Wuzzy
Getting an Indoctrination… er, Education
Remember September 11, 2001United We Stand! Or so proclaims the sign over the entrance to my children's elementary school. And as if the US flag on that sign wasn't enough, there's a faded paper flag two windows away that came out of the local newspaper in the days immediately following 9-11. And as if … Continue reading Getting an Indoctrination… er, Education
Me, A Nihilist?
Nihilist Bear Which Dysfunctional Care Bear Are You? brought to you by Quizilla Well, that's only partially true. While I do occasionally get depressed about the state of our world, and while I do consider myself both Goth-ish and intellectual, I rarely get into the "I don't care" mentality. If I were brooding about something, … Continue reading Me, A Nihilist?

While my floors and dishes may appreciate the fact that I haven't had a solid six hours of sleep for the past week or so, I think I'm beginning to hallucinate. Jeff is barking at dust molecules. … Continue reading Barking at Dust Molecules
Dissident
Had a dream last night. Civil liberties had finally deteriorated to the point that people who had spoken out against the government in any way were being rounded up and then disappearing. And if they couldn't get the "dissident" then they would take their family. My husband and children were gone and I was running. … Continue reading Dissident
Cinderella I Am Not
I want my home back! It's a little known fact of parenting that at least for a time you trade a home for your kids. Oh, not that you don't have a roof over your head and a warm bed to sleep in, but that under that roof and around that bad are all the … Continue reading Cinderella I Am Not
I M UU R U?
Yesterday we had the dubious distinction of being the youngest guests at the UU Church's Thanksgiving potluck, as well as the only one with kids. Since we're out here in the Midwest pretty much away from family, my covenmates are out of town and since we didn't feel like travelling because we'll be going to … Continue reading I M UU R U?
Dilly, Dally Dilemma
Yes, friends and neighbors, I find myself on the horns of a dilemma. What a great way to begin a diary, right? Well, writing is supposed to make everything so much clearer, so what the fuck. Let's give it a shot. I quit my job working for a major corporation recently. It was a good … Continue reading Dilly, Dally Dilemma
