Monday Madness

I found this cute site called "Monday Madness" where a question is posed every Monday and you can answer it in your blog. Today's question is:

How many simple things have you learned to appreciate more for one reason or another?

1) Warm Saturday mornings where the breeze is blowing, the sun is shining and I can sit on the porch drinking my coffee, reading book.
2) Watching the hummingbirds drink from the feeder attached to my sliding glass door.
3) Hearing my kids burst through the door after school in the afternoons, all excited to be home.
4) Having my husband IM me from work just to say 'hi'.
5) A new set of workout clothes.

I'm sorry I missed making the rounds yesterday. Drinking coffee and reading are two simple pleasures that are often forgotten. Great list. My MM is up.

Don't know why but I'm still having trouble getting to your newly posted blogs and sometimes get them a couple days late. I'm just noticing this one for the first time today.

I gotta love it Jennifer, how sweet of your husband to IM you from work.

1. Drinking my coffee (that hubby made and he doesn't even like it) and reading the paper BEFORE the boys get up for school.
2. Watching Damon (6yo) play a mean game of Instructional baseball (you never get struck out!)
3. Watching Camron (9yo)play basketball and soccer (2 things he swore he would never do!
4. Watching my hubby be a great son to his mom (his dad passed away last year!)
5. Watching a movie with my 3 favorite boys on a Friday night while eating popcorn (and hubby and I drinking margaritas!)

Stickin' It Out

I got married today. Well, not exactly today. It was Friday, June 2. But the year was 1989 - 17 years ago. "Amazing", people say. "Good for you", they comment. "You must have picked the right one", the add. Amazing? Yes. Good for me? I'll admit it. But it has nothing to do with picking the right one, really. It's not because I found the perfect boy, and it's certainly not because he found the perfect girl. It might sound a little unromantic, but there never really is a 'right one' floating around out there waiting in the cosmos for the other 'right one' to crash and connect. There may be 'better ones'; there may be 'more easily compatible' or something or other. But the real story is you start becoming the right one the moment you vow that "you do". When I married, I had been 20 for a whole 33 days, we had just completed a 2-year long-distance realtionship and HE was five years older tha

Too Close For Comfort

Depressing: Def., "Realizing that you and your Dearly Beloved are entirely to close to wearing the same pant size. Case in point - Hero Guy came ' har har-ing' out of the bedroom relating that he had accidentally been wearing a pair of my jeans for the last 15 minutes. He wondered why they felt so weird (translated - TIGHT) until he took them off and inspected the tag. He gloated that at least he knows he can fit into a Ladies Size ___ (you really think I'm going to tell you the number?!). My Observations: 1) He had a MONSTER wedgie, so the jeans were entirely too small for him. 2) They are my "fat" jeans, a size bigger than what I actually wear, but I just like the broken-in feeling of them. Or the roominess or something. 3) They were the stretchy kind of jeans, so an elephant could have painted itself into them. 4) What's he bragging about having a girlish figure for anyway? Not very macho if you ask me. Hmph.

Mixed Feelings

It's been a long time in coming, but as of this morning, I'm no longer a medical transcriptionist. I'm not sure how I feel about that...a little bit relieved, a little bit sad, a lot bit uncertain about whether I'll regret this decision. For the last year or so, I've found that the transcription work isn't fulfilling the need I once had to stay at home with my babies and have an income. I've increasingly felt that I need more interaction and less monotony. I've also felt the pressure of work that constantly needs to be done, with no sense of ever being really "finished." No matter how much work you've done for the day, there's always another note waiting to be transcribed. That goes for sick days, holidays, vacations days or any kind of days. This year, I've dabbled in substituting as a school monitor and office staff, and kind of found my niche in the last few weeks. I'll be working a couple of hours a day in one of the
