But tonight, my friends…tonight I have a real treat for you. [...]

I just wanted to go out…

The plan was for me to leave work early enough to get home and have a bite before taking the boys to the 7pm movie.

They didn’t want to go. The Spongebob Sponge Bash is coming on and WE CAN’T MISS IT MOMMY!!!

The plan became: get the boys in bed, slip out and find something to [...]

First Grade Timeline – Part 2

I finished going through our photo collection at about 3:30pm today. I realized a few things, as I went through seven years worth of digital photography:

I need to start snapping pics again. The difference between the sheer volume of pictures from 2001 and today is startling.
Saving the pictures in dated file folders isn’t [...]

Maintenance creep is killing me.

Never heard of it? I’m quite sure you’ve done it. Veeeehickle stuff that gets ignored until you can’t ignore it anymore.

New tires, but you don’t have the money so you set it aside and wait.
An oil change, but the kids are hungry and cranky when you think of it so you go home [...]

On the 11th day of Christmas my children gave to me…

laundry and some vomit to clean….

The boys have spent the last two days on the futon mattress in the floor in front of the TV. It’s both unnerving (they’re both laying!!! and not fighting!!! OHMYGOODNESS IT’S THE SEVENTH SIGN!) and a relief (no fights to break up? SCORE!). On one hand I’d [...]

My Notes From The Universe for today says:

Emily… you’re not using all of your angels. What’s [...]

Abundant Spending: A few days later…

I did indeed fall behind in my 30-days of abundance spending. Work and the story I’m working on have been distracting me. But never fear! Today I get to spend $102,400 – and I’m going to invest in a friend with that money.

My friend owns a defunct bakery, and wants to get [...]

Twenty Five Thousand Dollars

Oh how to spend today’s $25,600? I’ve debated and written and deleted several things. And we can’t forget the constant interruptions of The Progeny as I try to write. Today’s method of attention grabbing is to take a flying leap, landing across my chest (because they know landing on the laptop will [...]

The Abundance Concept, personalized

When I first read MMND’s post about abundance I felt a ring of WOOHOO! through my soul. The original post had her spending a dollar amount (that multiplies exponentially until by day 30 we’re spending 50 *billion*) and combining her spree with gratitude for three things.

And then she kicked it up [...]
