It’s a bittersweet day today. I’m glad to be home for a day (although we’re leaving for another trip tomorrow, so we don’t get much breathing time)… but the bitter part is that my parents left a few minutes ago, and I cried some big, fat tears. I know I won’t see them for at [...]

The arbitrariness of insurances
Posted in Complaining Freckle, tagged insurance on June 5, 2008 | 4 Comments »
is truly mind-boggling. I feel a little helpless when dealing with large corporations that seem to have so much power over little old “Jane Doe”.
Last year I have had some health issues, or I thought I did, and I went to get them checked out. Extensive blood work has been done, some x-rays have [...]
Clean Up Time
Posted in Complaining Freckle, tagged clean up time, kids, Memorial Day on May 26, 2008 | 3 Comments »
is a bad time to have. Nobody here likes it. I don’t like it, my husband doesn’t like it, and my kids hate it. Clean up time is the most un-funnest time in this house. And kid room clean up time is the most un-funnest of all un-funnest times in this house. Kid room clean [...]
My son is like a broken record
Posted in Complaining Freckle on April 30, 2008 | No Comments »
(yes, those big black ones)
My husband is sitting at the piano, making music. My son stands beside him and says,
“Dad, I wanna play LEGOs… Dad? I wanna play LEGOs! Daddy, I wanna play LEGOs.”
“Not right now,” says my husband, trying to make music…
“But Dad, I wanna play LEGOs” (whining now)
“But Dad, I wanna [...]

I went jogging this morning, for the first time in over half a year. I used to jog every day last summer, and I got really good at it after a while. Well, I decided it was time to get with it. It’s almost May and actually warm enough most of the time. And the [...]
I’m having a fuddy duddy day
Posted in Complaining Freckle on April 23, 2008 | 3 Comments »
It’s just one of those days… I don’t want to do anything. No chores, no school work, no nothing. I’ll complain about the weather instead. Stupid weather, really. I mean, it’s the end of April… and it’s bitter cold and rainy and windy, and I’m sick of it. I’m going back to Arizona! Ugh… I [...]
Monday can be soooo slow…
Posted in Complaining Freckle, Freckle's good life on April 21, 2008 | 5 Comments »
Yawn!!! It’s one of those mornings that have been going on forever despite the fact that it’s not even 9 o’clock yet. I had a sleepless night, after doing much research last night to find writers groups, checking out the writers conference here in Portland in August… and worst of all not understanding what exactly [...]
You’d think I’ve learned my lesson with white shirts…
Posted in Complaining Freckle on April 16, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Apparently I haven’t. And when I went to Fred Meyer’s the other day I couldn’t resist. This cute, hooded (very white) sweater called out to me, “Buy me, buy me!!” And I bought it… and I brought it home and put it on and loved it. Then I poured myself a glass of red wine [...]
I hate being sick
Posted in Complaining Freckle on April 8, 2008 | 9 Comments »
Which is why I usually don’t get sick. I am the rock in my family. They get sick. All of them. The kids go first, then follows my husband. Me? I’m Super Mom with an immune system like a horse (hoping at this point that this is a good comparison. Do horses have good immune [...]
I feel soooo old…
Posted in Complaining Freckle, Freckle's good life on April 5, 2008 | 3 Comments »
So I went out with a friend last night… to a bar/tavern/dance kind of place in downtown Portland. Anyone who knows Portland is aware of the parking issues this town has. I wouldn’t be surprised at all, if half the people who are trying to go out Friday night, get so frustrated they’ll just turn [...]
