http://everythingkate.wordpress.com What's new in the world of Kate? Fri, 25 Jul 2008 02:01:16 +0000 http://backend.userland.com/rss092 en I just had the oddest thing happen.  A few words said on TV triggered a memory of a dream I had last night.  It was of my mom, who was talking to someone else, but I kept interrupting her with questions about my future.  I know I asked her several ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/whats-in-a-dream/ It's been a long few days, but also very enriching.  Hubby and I were up until midnight Tuesday night discussing us.  It's probably one of the best conversations we've had during our marriage and I have walked away actually feeling that our marriage is stronger than ever.  Don't get me ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/24/who-needs-shrinks-and-doctors/ Yesterday work was slow, and long.  But, I discovered that one on my co-workers thought the words to "Proud Mary" were "ROWING down the River."  That kept us entertained for a few hours.  We also had the semi-usual task of chasing a chipmunk through the store.  But otherwise, not much ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/22/a-difficult-reminder/ I'm cranky.  If I wrote this thing only when things were great and I was happy, it would be a bit too "Care Bear-ish" for my standards. --Not that I have anything against the Care Bears.  I loved them as a kid and had Wish Bear, but I digress... I've been sick ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/20/300-am-is-not-normal/ I'm home sick today playing, "Guess the next color of the crap I cough up."  Yeah, I don't envy me either.   Otherwise, I'm doing well.  I'm secretly hoping Hubby and I can lay-low this weekend and relax.  Tonight, if all works out we'll watch "Clerks" and enjoy some take out.  ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/18/guess-the-next-color-of-the-crap-i-cough-up/ My God Son arrived at 1:06a.m. this morning. He was 8 lbs. 1oz. and 19" long.   My friend had 29 hours of labor and a natural birth, so I'm not going to complain about my delivery anymore.  Yikes!  They are all doing wonderfully and resting well.  I just had to ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/17/im-a-god-mother/ Oh God...I think I'm still in shock.  What happened?  I went to bed with my loveable little girl and woke up to...well, someone else.  Enter the crying, the whining, the getting-into-everything, the throwing food, waddling away from me (she can't quite run yet), the "I want this, no I don't...wait, yes I do" ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/16/the-parenting-nuclear-bomb/ It took an act of God, but I FINALLY got to catch-up on some sleep yesterday.  I think this may be the first time in 16 mos. or so.  So, I'm actually feeling pretty darn good.  Now, if those damn Housekeeping Fairies would show up, I could die happy. I've discovered ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/15/dont-throw-the-potatoes/ Yesterday we ventured to the Hot Air Balloon Rally.  Unfortunately, the balloons never left the trailers because the winds never died down enough.  However, we still had fun.  I deep-throated a Corn Dog, so the day wasn't a complete waste. LOL We ate/drank enough calories for a week.  We had Corn Dogs ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/13/im-still-the-only-one-full-of-hot-air/ Hmmm...where to start today.   Well, yesterday was bloody hot, even hotter in the greenhouse and work was D-E-A-D Dead.  Our boss let us take a 2 hour lunch instead of a 1 hour lunch in lieu of the quietness.  That actually put me in a pepredicament.  The electrician was at ... http://everythingkate.wordpress.com/2008/07/12/check-please/
