Thank you, Mr. Virus!

I would like to thank the POS virus that invaded my daughters body leading to another Promptcare trip yesterday resulting in her being put on steroids once again and has apparently set up camp in my body too. Damn thing! Be gone with you!

New Blog

Please take a look and let me know what you think!!! Also feel free to spread the word if you want!!! Sarah Simplifies

Just a day

Ok- so I've got to admit I've really not got a whole lot. I'm trying to set up my other blog so when things calm down & can plow ahead with that one & I'm not feeling the best. I think a trip to the physicians assistant is in order. Now to find the time! I will share just a few of the quirks of my brain. Here we go with random musings!

-How does one know when they are seriously PMSy?
Well, if you happen to be me, it is a sure sign when you're sobbing watching The Wedding on Keeping Up with the Kardashians. The show isn't on my must see list but occasionally its fun to watch. Last night they had a marathon leading up to the season finale. I also have to admit at this point in my life I have not real tracking system for when its that time of the month. After one of my best friends was hospitalized for blood clots in her lungs I got off the pill much to my gyno's dismay. I'm not in a relationship of any type that would require me to keep track so I basically don't. (You should see the nurses face at a Dr's appt when they ask when my last period is- I don't know a few weeks ago) So I realized as I was watching the Wedding preps on the show & crying it must be PMS

and one last how do you know

-How do you know when your cat is too fat?
Ok, I admit it. I have a fat cat. This is not exaggeration. Last time she was weighed she was 15 lbs and she weighs more now. My sister & bil call her Jabba the Cat. So yes I am fully aware my cat is fat- she fits in with the household perfectly! That said when said cat is so fat she can not clean herself well & I have to clean her privates the cat is too fat! Bathing a cat is not fun if you haven't tried it, so Fluff is heading for a diet!

Well, that's it for this side!

The Olympics

Ok, so I admit it- I'm a big old sentamental freak but I always get teary eyed watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics! Princess Bear wasn't very into but did want to carry a flag! My child has a innocence that I find so precious! If I could just protect her from the real world :( Now I need to go google several questions I have from watching the said opening ceremonies:

- Why is Ireland its own entity but not Scotland?
- Why are the Native People of Canada called the First Nations?

and there's a few more but frankly I'm about brain dead!

Ugh!

I'm seriously ready for some big down time. I have this feeling of being on a hamster wheel or something like it. Princess Bear (PB) has had another tough year at school this year. I understand that children need to learn about grades at some point in time. I also understand that my daughter is in a special ed first grade. Does she really need to know she got a "F" or 0%??? If it was a subject that we hadn't be having monumental struggles with I might not be so upset but I really feel like this is just another chip away at her self esteem. So, am I overreacting? Give me some feedback!

Another "pop" b&*ch

So finally the drama seems to be dying down with the NBC Leno vs O'Brien fiasco. The article supporting O'Brien is SO not accurate it just makes me want to scream! What most supporters of O'Brien forgot is that in some ways Conan is getting EXACTLY what he deserves! Leno NEVER wanted to retire! 5 years ago NBC almost lost O'Brien and in a stupid attempt to keep him at NBC they promised him The Tonight Show in 5 years. Fast forward 5 years and NBC is still going forward with this idiotic plan. Let's not discuss the fact that Leno has consistently been #1. That apparently doesn't matter when you're faced with losing a "talent". Ratings don't matter. Or do they? Well, they surely matter when Conan comes in and flubs it up from the word GO. I must also mention that Leno's prime time slot did not do well. Then again I don't think that was a huge surprise to anyone. So NBC wanting to get the ratings back that they had enjoyed during Leno's Late Night tenure offer him a 1/2 slot before the Tonight Show with O'Brien. Once again O'Brien pitches a fit and starts spouting garbage about how it would be the end of The Tonight Show. HONESTLY???? Where did the man get his chutzpah???!!!??? As we all know Conan picked up his ball and went running home- bye bye!!! I can't wait for the return of the Tonight Show with Jay Leno! I can however wait a very, very, very (perhaps an entire lifetime!) long time before ever watching Conan O'Brien again!

Ok- of the soap box for the day!

Hola!

Wow! I haven't been on here in FOREVER!!! I must confess I do miss it. I find blogging so soothing to the soul. Perhaps 2010 will be a much better blogging year! I have tried to keep up & check in with a few of my favorite blogs. It just seems like Princess Bear got sick with H1N1 and things went & stayed downhill for her for the duration. She had walking pneumonia over Christmas vacation and is flirting with it again right now. She's done with the antibiotics and she isn't coughing as much but is still not "ok" yet. This has not been one of our better winters!

As for me I've forgotten a lot of the sign language I learned last semester. I wish it was a twice a week class so I had more of an opportunity to use it. I'm excitedly planning our garden. January was so much fun with all the seed catalogs coming in! It was better than Christmas! One of my favorite sites is www.rareseeds.com I have decided that any seeds I plant will be heirloom or at the very least not chemically treated in anyway. In the past week and a half I have read: Backyard Homestead, A Slice of Organic Life, Country Living for Dummies, and The Victory Garden. I'm getting ready to start a gardening journal and can't wait to get the ball rolling on things! I've learned so much more than I did last year and that was a learning experience all in itself. I really hope that the garden is a success & Princess Bear and I can have a very back to the earth, self sufficient summer!

So, that is news on this side! I do promise to try much harder this year!
