Balancing it all out

October 31, 2006

We took Boy Blue and Petite Clown into the county health department for their shots today.  Boy Blue got two (he had already gotten two a couple months back from this health clinic) and Petite Clown got one.  Each shot was 5 dollars totaling up to 15 bucks.  I wasn’t upset to pay that for [...]

A beautiful day

October 30, 2006

We spent Friday walking around Cincinatti in the rain.  Everything went fine with Vilay’s appointment.  He got his picture and fingerprints taken.  The guy helping Vilay told us that it could be as early as a week for his work authorization to arrive in the mail.  We are happy about that!  It was much faster [...]

Raindrops

October 27, 2006

I can hear the rain falling on the house as it has been for the second day.  It rained most of yesterday and will rain until Saturday.  I don’t mind.  I like the rain.  Next week will warm up just in time for Halloween.  I think I am more excited about Halloween than the kids.  [...]

Four years just flew by…

October 25, 2006

We bought Sweet Bear a birthday cake for her birthday.  It is chocolate icing on yellow cake.  She picked it because it had ballons painted on top of the cake on each side.  In the middle we had “Happy Birthday Sweet Bear” written.  She was very excited to get to pick out her own birthday cake.  It [...]

What I have learned is…

October 22, 2006

that I don’t understand people.  I just don’t.  Sometimes, I wonder if it isn’t me that is the problem.  Maybe…just maybe…I am a spoiled brat.  I haven’t really lived the life of a spoiled brat in many respects.  I have had a hard life even if I think it has been very beautiful at times.  [...]

Hanging around

October 20, 2006

I am still here.  I am working and trying to get my certification for teaching in Florida lined up.  I have found my best friend from high school that was, also, my room mate in college.  We are trying to find a time to get together and I am very excited about that.  It has [...]

Happy to be working

October 14, 2006

I have a full time job! I went on an interview today and the company offered me a buck more an hour than the most stable of my three part-time jobs. So, I called the other employer and explained that I could not accept their offer because I was offered so much more by another [...]

Life is good

October 12, 2006

One of my strengths is that I never give up.  I always see the good in everything.  I know that sometimes I let it all get me down.  But, I immediately work on turning it all around. I have decided that I will be a teacher in Florida.  No matter what I want to teach.  [...]

moving along

October 10, 2006

We mailed out all the paperwork for Vilay’s greencard and work authorization. It should arrive at the lockbox of the immigration service department sometime within the next few days. It is such a relief to have it out of our hands. We can only wait now. The second announcement is I have a job! Actually, [...]

New blog title

October 7, 2006

I have changed the title of my blog because From my French window doesn’t fit so well now. Madame Citrouille (Mrs.  Pumpkin) is a perfect fit because it is my French name and was given to me by a special reader, Roland. Thank you, Roland, for all your thoughful comments and every time you called [...]

Out of the mouths of babes

October 1, 2006

Vilay was finishing up painting my mother’s laundry room.  Sweet Bear and Petite Clown were wrestling and giggling as they watched their father from the doorway of the kitchen which leads into the laundry room.  Vilay and I were talking about how the painting was going.  Actually, I was asking him if he had managed [...]
