Until I Get Over Myself

I'm sorry, but I'm just a wee bit livid right now.  Excuse me while I work something out real quick. Do I know how WordPress works?  Yes. Did I see the little Microsoft Update tab show up down bottom on my task-bar?  Briefly. Did I click on it to see what was up?  Ka-duh, no. Did I think it would be →


Sibling Revelry

Wouldn't it be great if everyone dear to us knew how we felt about them? I have several times in my life thought to sit down and write to each special person in my life, telling them in great detail how they have touched and bettered my time here. I have done so on occasion, and it has been met →


Coming To Terms

I have a post in my draft box right now from 5 days ago.  It's about NukeBoy2's seizure last week.  It's 1200 words and I'm only about 2/3 done with it.  I don't know that I will ever post it.  I may, but for right now, it just seemed to me to be a bit much.  Most of you know →


Hospital Update

To fully tell this story will take more time than I have right now, but I wanted to let everyone know where we are.  NukeBoy2 had his EEG yesterday, and his MRI and MRA this morning.  The MRA is when they inject a dye in the body to see the blood vessels.  Those were completed this morning, and the Neurologist →


Insomniobesity

Is it possible for jet lag to last for a week?  Maybe the better question is; can you get jet lag from only 2 time zones away?  Is there a minimum, say, 3 time zones at least?  I mean, it's not like I flew to Hawaii and back in 5 days, I went from eastern standard time to mountain →


Wedding Beer Blues

Well, I figured I'd better get something up here since I've been home for more than 24 hours.  My trip back home to El Paso was great; I got to see family and old friends and I gained some family and friends while I was there.  Little sister Stacey and Alvaro (the bride and groom) are now basking on the →


You Can Go Home Again

You arrive full of expectations and preconceived notions of what people will say.  “He has gained weight”, “God, is he going bald?”, “He’s just like I remember him.”  The span of 7 years hasn’t been long enough to erase some of the unease you harbor of your time here; or, moreover, the heartache accrued since you left. Nor does it →


Remembering Claire

Our thoughts and prayers go out to the Weasel Family today as they cope with the loss of one of their own.   Claire Elizabeth Elaine passed away 2 weeks after her birth in 2002.  Please take a moment today to remember WeaselMomma and her family. (Update) What a doofus I am.  Apologies to the WeaselFamily for getting Claire's middle name wrong.  →
