what the hell is that odour !??

Darn it, someone put the fan on reverse. There is a prankster among us.

Timely that was Mason under the table but I think he went back home to his basement. Don't touch any of the food until you clear it with the pixies, they are cleaning up the soggy stuff and replacing everything. As for the smell, it went flit poof and with magic it went bye bye.

Homer, don't you hate when that happens?

A prankster? Singular? Really? In here? Bahaha!

I blame it on Mason....

*big squishies!!*
For my online brothers, sisters, mothers, strange aunties, and weird uncles!

Dave's good... if you consider working 16hr days, getting 2-3hrs sleep, getting fiscally violated every week, being over-stressed, over-tired, over-everything... to be "good". But things are progressing, slowly but surely. We're guessing he'll be here in August... or September... if he manages to survive til then. (hyperbole)

He's just so tired all the time, and his job at the moment is being behind the wheel, surrounded by crazy LA drivers, while over-tired and stressed, and it's so worrying for me, being all the way over here, and I keep worrying if something happens to him, if he got into an accident, I'll never know. It just hurts me so much knowing that he's going through such hardship and pressure and I can't do anything to help or really comfort him or ~be there~.

*sighs*

And I've been going through things with my son... he's 4yrs old, and he's the sweetest little thing. And so smart. And friendly. And is supposed to start school next year. But he has leeway of one year so doesn't -have- to start next year. And the way he is at the moment, there's no way he's starting school next year. He's intelligent, he can read and knows his ABC's and numbers and has been doing rudimentary math all by himself, but he doesn't do well in social situations. He's VERY painfully shy and seems to suffer from anxiety. He's fine out and about and at home, Dave can vouch for that! But at daycare and thus in a school environment he just shuts down.

Sooo, he'll likely be starting the year he turns 6 instead of the year he turns 5.

And then there's me, and my self-imposed isolation. I literally have no one to talk to. I have Dave, and I have my 4yr old. And then the only people I talk to are random strangers in the streets, saying hello or good morning as I pass them by, checkout people at the shops, and my son's daycare teachers.

So, I'm really really really lonely.
And I just want the "rest of my life" to begin. I feel stagnant at the moment. Just waiting...

And that's my giant wall of novel.

And here's a picture of my son that I took a couple of days ago.


And now... I really need to go to the mall. I am DESPERATELY craving some Pringles.
(Disappointing ye of Doughnuts and Cookies )

I apologise for my giant novel and swiftly depart! On the quest! For! PRINGLES!
*zoooooooooooooooooooooooms!!!!!!*

Found you !!

why is there a sleazy looking man under the table a d why are the doughnuts soggy ?

what the hell is that odour !??


* so many questions ...

At times like this I find it best to just slowly walk away without asking too many questions.

The pixies will use their little orb and "flash" that little memory away. Isn't The Shed wonderful, LOL

Oh honey I can't imagine the emotions that you are going through right now. I'm so glad that Dave is working but it sounds like he is working himself to death! And doing it on the roads!!! Oh my! Yes, I can totally understand your anxiety levels.

Sorry, I have no ideas for your son. (Who is absolutely adorable!!!!) I haven't raised a little one. Hopefully one of the Shed mommas might have some ideas.

Do you want to get out more? Have you thought about working with charities? I don't know what all y'all have. But that is some of my most fun. I do a lot of cancer work. Tomorrow we are doing an activity at our hospital called An Evening of Hope. It is a big community event and all the monies raised goes back into our community cancer center. I've done everything from organizing 5K races to working registration for a free clinic. Or maybe a photo class.....

a reply to: kaelci

Sorry to hear Dave is so tired and has to work so much. I know how much you worry all the time and it's not easy

You're lonely because you hide in the bushes and don't come out to play. Come out more often and join the crazy people.

OMG, if that boy of yours gets any cuter! Big Hug from Aunti Raine!

Don't worry about your giant novel. We like those!

a reply to: HomerinNC
So where in NC are ya Homer? My Step-daughter moved to Matthews (right below Charolette) and open her a State Farm office there.

a reply to: Martin75

You're always so helpful dear Jess.

Kaelci just went up to the store for a sec to get herself a treat. Shell be back in a few minutes.

But i think she should say hi to her shed friends more often.

a reply to: BASSPLYR
Dave!!!!! Oh wow, both of you on the same day!!!

a reply to: Night Star

Hehe!! No,I was pretending to argue with someone about being the weirdest uncle!

a reply to: kaelci
Kaelci dear, Auntie WIS is heartbroken that you weren't comfortable sharing your woes with us.
You are dear to us. You have given all of us comfort when we needed it with kind and gentle words of encouragement and compassion.

Now welcome home and I have plenty of tissues and hugs to go around.
