I don’t usually buy into that business of telling people they shouldn’t be upset about whatever they’re upset about because there are other people in the world with worse problems. The way I see it, there will ALWAYS be someone in the world with worse problems than someone else in the world. That doesn’t mean [...]

THREE different people have asked me in the last week when I’m going to update my blog. I told them “never, because I’m sick of hearing myself complain,” and ALL THREE of them said that they are not sick of hearing me complain. Since three people amounts to approximately 25% of my readership, I figured [...]
Does “Ramirez” sound like “Miriam” to you? Before you get all judgmental, get yourself pregnant, get yourself as sick as I am, do a lot of walking you aren’t fit to do (at least not today, apparently) (I wrote that yesterday) so your head is spinning like a hyperactive top, plant yourself on a chair [...]

RS has been sick for two days. Terrible nausea, plus high fever, which I can tell because she’s on fire, though I haven’t taken her temperature. Yesterday she said she was going to come downstairs, but then she couldn’t, because… G had made eggs for breakfast for himself and the twins (God bless summer, when [...]
Yes, I am posting two days in a row. Hold on to your heartbeats.
Before I forget (again), here is an excellent story about my son, which I intended to share in last night’s post.
So there we were at the glasses store, and the girls had chosen theirs, and the Boy had broken his, and we [...]

Making lists is boring. We leave, please God, for our annual road trip to good old St. Louie in approximately three weeks. I figured since all I’m really good for these days is sitting in one place, I could get a nice big jump start on the lists of things to bring (plural listS because [...]
So sick. Soooo sick.
Feel like I’ve been bursting with stories to tell, things to post, etc., but posting is much too annoying from my new non-Droid phone, and now that I have my new non-Droid phone and can check email and whatnot while lying on my side, it’s been difficult to get myself to sit [...]
