William Matthew II came into this world at 11:20 AM after a whole 20 minutes of hard labor. He was 7 pounds 10 oz, 21 inches long, blue eyes and GOBS of dark hair. Momma and baby are doing well, but will be kept in the hospital under observation for 48 because Ashton was rather [...]

Several weeks ago, Mindy was being lazy and didn’t want to get up from watching TV to check her email… so she gave me the account and pw info because I was sitting here and she asked me to check it for her.
So obviously, the whole time she’s been gone, I’ve checked it periodically. She [...]
Ashton is STILL in labor. Not that the amount of time is such a big deal, but this: She’s so anxiety ridden about the whole ordeal that she is unable to let her body do what it’s supposed to-GET RID OF THAT BABY!!!!
So at 1 this morning, Devon called my parents (Ash’s aunt and uncle-by-marriage) [...]
My mom just called here and said Ashton (my baby cousin!!!) is going into labor “for real” this time. We’ll see. Rob is giggling at me because I was pacing around and unbelievably giddy. Ashton is 12 years younger than me, but it’s as though she’s my little sister. She was mine and Dotty’s little [...]
Thanks everyone for your comments about the Mindy situation. I know we all need some serious counseling and I am not averse to it. I’ve counseled before and it was really the best 6 months of my life, being able to dump all the crap and crud onto someone who is completely not judgemental.
I will [...]
Mindy flipped out today.
She lied about completing several homework assignments and then she got really sassy-mouthed when I took her to the school to retrieve her books at 3:30. As we left the school, she mumbled a bunch of stuff that I didn’t hear. To comfort and calm her, I laid my hand on her [...]
Dreary Day
Today is so dreary. It’s raining and 38 degrees. I am home from work 2.5 hours early because of a scheduling snafu. (I love that word, BTW, and have never thought to use it on my blog until right now.)
Jayleigh’s Afternoon
Aunt Laurel came into my work today, for 13.75 seconds (approximately) and stated she [...]
I am alive and well. I’ll write a post later. It was a heck of a weekend with Mindy pms-ing.
*sigh*
Not bad, though.

When I’m not going through a grueling week of funeral home visits and funerals, burials, dinners, and consoling friends, the word “funeral” sounds funny to me. The movie Four Weddings and a Funeral comes to mind, and that just always makes me laugh. The first 5 or 10 words of the movie are the F [...]
Hospice Patient M passed away on Saturday. She was a family and church friend and I was pals with one of her 9 kids growing up. Her funeral is tomorrow.
At 9:30 AM yesterday, my Hospice volunteer coordinator called and informed me that Hospice Patient Annie had passed away. She’d has Alzheimer’s Disease and I was [...]
My parents met us at Their house and we all went inside together. For cover, perhaps, because noone wants to be put on the spot like that, when someone is dying and we all know it. After being there for a while, I noticed the new curio in the corner. Our pastor’s wife had told [...]
Full About. One-Quarter Impulse. Get Us Out Of Here, Ensign.
OK so I’ve been watching too much Star Trek: TNG these days. And yes, it’s bordering on obsession. But seriously, it’s a great show. Will Riker, Deanna’s amazing hair and doe eyes. Captain Picard, Data with the semi-metallic skin. Jordi’s visor. Worf’s honor. LOVE IT!!!
Yesterday I [...]
