Just so you know…
Fidium Fiber is a really good internet provider. Thanks to the tech who came out on a frozen Sunday morning to connect my household to the internet. It’s people like you, that make the World turn. THANK YOU!!!!!

Some days…
Some days, I’ll look like a diva. Then… there are some days, when I look like an old fisherman/lumberjack who belongs on a boat off the coast of Maine. Today’s one of those days.

Strange visitor, this time of year.
It is frigid cold up here in the northern part of northern New England. This guy’s hanging out on my curtains. How it got in, who knows? Where there’s a will, there’s a way. We’re under a cold weather warning. The wind-chill is supposed to be 25-35 below tonight. I’ll let it stay until the…

Well… I’m a wimp
And scheduled the installation of home Internet. It’s not fancy like my ex’s liked. It’s just what I need for the kids and me. It’s within my budget, and… I can control my own billing. Also, I’ll now be able to manage my own account. 😁 The first thing I’m going to do after the…

Changes in some staple foods
In an effort to spend money wiser, I started to buy only the necessities and staples. However, the term “staples,” grew stricter. A few days ago when the kids were looking for junk food, it occured to them that chocolate and sweets were replaced by fruit, yogurt, and whole grains. I’m having the kids clean…

Since the Internet detox started, this is what I have noticed…
Now, for our Internet detox each of us has a phone with a hotspot. So far, there’s very little difference in the speed or quality of the Wi-Fi from normal household Internet. Us having our own Internet was a choice that I made after thinking about our homeschooling needs. Both children will have to travel…

Well… I, um…
Caved on the idea of a complete home and phone Internet detox. I can’t shop, check the weather, or bank. I slightly upgraded my kids and my phones and plans. Let’s just say, I was less than prepared for the winter storm that rolled in. 😁 Our usual online homeschooling spots were closed due to…

Day five of the Internet detox… I’m a raging bitch!
Today I am not proud of myself. I yelled at a Walmart worker because he didn’t know what he was talking about. That doesn’t sit well with me. WTH? Besides today’s panic attack meltdown, things are going well. I’m writing skits and trying them out. The picture from the other day is a costume for…

Fake me pretending to be real me… so dumb.
Starting to record lectures and writing skits. Oh, and yes… my cat “Agnes” is crawling under a closed door. It doesn’t fit the door frame. In these mountains people do what they have to, to get by.

When your kid is fussy and hungry but wants “nothing” and “everything” to eat.
Truth be told, my kids are overweight. It isn’t their fault it is mine. I used to be very overweight with fluctuations between obese and overweight. I’ve only recently (in 2025) crossed into the healthy recommended weight range for my height. I grew up not knowing what to eat, only that I should be grateful…
