Random rambling

July 20, 2007

I have fixed the issue with the blogs. Fantastico was throwing extra code into the WordPress configuration file. I found the answer on the WordPress forum. Once Bluehost got back with me telling me where to go to fix it I was all set. It took about five minutes tops. I really do love WordPress [...]

Hi! How are you?!?

January 14, 2007

Vilay asked me one day why people he worked with would tell him “hi” and say “how are you” as they sped past him not even waiting or wanting an answer.  It was a little over five years ago when we started our life together here in America before moving to France.  I told him it was just the [...]

Happy

December 16, 2006

I received my Official Statement of Status of Eligibility from the State of Florida Department of Education today.  It does state that I am not eligible for a Florida Educator’s Temporary Certificate at this time. All my coursework from Antioch was before July 1, 2002.  Florida will only accept coursework dated after that date.  So, [...]

Tom’s of Maine

December 13, 2006

I have stopped using chemical based deodorants.  I, now, only use Tom’s of Maine.  Why?  Because…it is safe.  It works better.  I love the smell (I use Lavender and Vilay uses Woodspice).  When we arrived back in Ohio this past summer, I soon remembered how HOT and HUMID it can get here.  I was putting [...]

My thoughts today

December 12, 2006

Nothing in the mail today but my car insurance statement.  Go figure. It was warmer today which made me feel more cheerful.  I haven’t had a day off since last Wednesday and won’t until this coming Sunday.  This is my last week with the job that I am leaving.  Boy, am I glad I am [...]

When it rains it pours

December 10, 2006

I logged into the Florida certification website last night after work like I have each and every day for the past month.  I have been anxiously waiting for an update to my application stating I am eligible to teach in Florida.  I could then get hired by a school and afterwards I would have to get a temporiary teaching certificate. After [...]

We are all just humans

December 6, 2006

I have decided to leave my job at the Mall.  Hmmmm…could it be because working until 1 in the morning is just not cutting it.  Vilay is not loving picking me up with the three kids in the backseat of the car.  He has to drag them all out by himself into the cold night.  Why?  [...]

Christmas sparkle

November 29, 2006

I have changed my template…again.  I love snow.  Reeaaalllyyy.  I do.  I like to look at snow.  I hate to be in it.  I hate to be cold.   With Christmas coming up quick, I thought I’d decorate my blog a bit.  You know.  Get into the spirt.  The girls have been admiring all the Christmas [...]

Boy Blue is a wiggle monster

November 25, 2006

Boy Blue has spent the last two nights trying to wiggle out of his fever.  Mama has been giving him his meds and lots of kisses.  Mama would like to give him a magical kiss that will put him to sleep.  Wiggle free sleep.  The fact is that sleep is not so easy with a wiggle [...]

Sick and tired

November 25, 2006

Petite Clown and Boy Blue have been sporting the overflowingsnotnose that goes with fussy and sick babies.  Guess who is now sick?  I went home from both of my jobs early today and am about to hit the sack for the night.  It is another early day that this sick girl must make herself get [...]

Work for nothing

November 2, 2006

Sometimes, I just feel like throwing in the towel.  I am the kind of person that always tries to see the bright side of things.  Having said that I will admit that there are moments in my life that it has been hard to do just that.  Well, in spite of everything that we have [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]
