Tales From Janet Land

I love old TV shows on DVD...no commercials and you appreciate the humor and the drama a bit more because you're older.My Mom was on the actual Love Boat boat...not on the show...but she knew someone who was and they took her on set. She tells that story a lot.

The t-shirt is an amazing idea! I think you guys get out of school earlier than us...the girls still have a full five weeks of school left.Great list of things you're grateful for, by the way...I'll have to try that. I just feel too sad still to try it today. Maybe tomorrow....

I completely related to this post...made me think of the post about Emma learning about what to do in a lock down situation...My childhood was a lot like yours...and while I wish the same for my children, sadly, I know it can't be.

I used to fight with my sister because she looked at me.And then there was the time when she stepped on my head because I was laying in the middle of the floor, watching TV and I was supposedly in her way...even though there was plenty of room to go around...and then one time she licked a cucumber and gave it to me to eat without telling me. She assured me that she had asked Dad if someone's spit would kill me....Good times...good times...

Hmmm...I've never encountered the issue of lighter things not being included in a sale...That sucks.

Sounds like a win-win situation, Terri.No need to justify how hard you work...we all know it.

Oh Mary...what I wouldn't give to just wrap my arms around you and give you a great big hug.

A list of good things sounds like a wonderful idea...mind if I snag it?I wonder if maybe Kota doesn't respond well to other females because of his close relationship with you, Mary....Emma was always a Daddy's Girl and didn't like other men....

Who couldn't like that?!

Yes, Gee...we are both experiencing the same kind of thing and yes, I am also happy for us.But now it's my turn to feel jealous and a bit sad....you've got him minutes away, whenever you'd like him.

WOW!

Well, way to say Ottawa! It's "Big City" here in blogland, dude!I'm not actually laughing....Thanks for posting these.

I cried this morning over toe nail polish...So, I get that. It's a release.Learning to let go and allow things to happen as they will and as they should is one of the hardest lessons we have to learn...really, how to trust...and the worst part is that the lesson never stops, does it? We are taught and reminded over and over again to trust and believe.I once read the quote, "If the only prayer you ever said in life was, 'thank you', that would be enough" and that has become my motto. Easy to say thank you when things are going well, not so easy when things are hard and sh*tty. But it's when things are hard and sh*tty, that we *learn* the most.And now I'll climb back over to my own blog...sorry...

Happy Thursday, Elfie!Our government has started, slowly, to introduce incentives and supplements to local, family owned and operated farms because they have such a hard time in this day and age.The organic co-op farm place sounds neat.

First of all, Gee, I am *not* ignoring you. I promise.Secondly, sometimes we need to have time alone, no matter how much it stinks, to propel us along in our own personal growth, you know? Ack, scratch that...I'm sorry. It sucks.
