IT seems to come in thrilling multiples, those moments in time when life just seems to be one melt down moment after another...

The plumbing thing --- first it was a 'city problem' and the cure broke a line under my home and more recently a cinderblock somehow managed to break a tag line from kitchen/laundry - at any rate - there's a lake under there.

A blown head gasket --- well, at least that was the start of the problem. Just a simple head gasket that needed replaced became much larger and multiplied in price.

It's tax season and this year has been particularly busy.

My daughter has a pair of impacted wisdom teeth and there's no insurance. BUT, I'm working toward a solution with the oral surgeon who will be removing them within a month or so. She's feeling a bit better.

The cold season took it's crack at my kids and myself and just rages on... but, we are surviving even that.

Too many issues to deal with and a busy, hectic life that requires participation from the most unagreable persons I know. Sometimes I think I could just make decisions without considering them and accept the consequences easier.

Too much happening to just take care of me...

and nights that NEVER end. I'm wondering why it is that when I can go to sleep and get some rest, my body won't slow down and sleep... ARGH.
