    What I Hate about Summer

    Most people say the heat. The humidity. Mosquitoes. I say Black Socks. Yes. You read that right. I said black socks. I hate black socks. Always have, probably always will. I will admit there is a time and a place for them (i.e. Men in suits, etc) but it doesn’t mean I have to like them. But you are probably wondering why that involves me hating summer. Well, the 2 are interconnected. J wears black socks to work because he has to wear stinky steel toes.  Especially ripe in the summer months. But pretty much as soon as he gets home, off come the socks. Understandably so I must admit.…

    Nothing like a little child labour

    to do my garden some good. Never too young to work for his keep I say! It’ll put hair on his chest. This I’m sure. He loves “helping” me garden.

I ran into a few glitches with my host and they needed to look into a few things for me. By the time it was all ready to go and I could reinstall applications E was already in bed. We were due to be working on…

    What I know now

    The past year has been one big learning curve. Some days I feel like I know what I’m doing and other days I’m lost, somewhere in oblivion. But, at least the days where I have some sort of clue have outnumbered the days I don’t. I’ve been trying to put into words how I have changed but I can’t. I know I have changed but it’s been so gradual it’s hard to pinpoint the differences. Where the “old me” begins transforming into the “new me”.  Was it as soon as I got to hold E? Or was it when I was pregnant? Or was it long before? It’s funny because…
