about jabrn

I am a Registered Nurse, wife, mother of one beautiful daughter (6 years old going on 17, a good friend stated when I had my daughter that the hours and the days drag on, but the months and the years fly by - how true!) three dogs (all beautiful mutts) and an old cat.

My husband and I have the complete role reversal. I work and he is a stay at home dad! He definitely runs the day to day of the house better than I ever dreamed... My life is full and hectic like everyone else's. I enjoy reading, baking and spending time with my family. I am a native of Williamsburg, Va. My husband is a Tarheel (class of 94) born and bred and he has fully converted me to a Tarheel fan (at least in basketball)! I do enjoy watching most sports although NFL (really any football) is what I like the most. I am a Chicago Bears and Michigan Wolverine fan (midwestern parents).

I would say that I was a pretty liberal person, except now that I have had the displeasure of working with an entitlement program, some of my liberal leanings have changed direction.

Above all I consider myself very open-minded. I just really want to know, why can't everyone have just a little more common sense?

“Common sense is not so common.”- Francois Voltaire

“I love being married. It’s so great to find that one special person you want to annoy for the rest of your life.” - Rita Rudner

“Too often we give children answers to remember rather than problems to solve.” - Roger Lewin

“Children need models more than they need critics.” - Joseph Joubert

“We'd all vote for the best man, but he's never a candidate.” - Will Rogers

“The average dog is a nicer person than the average person.” - Andy Rooney

“A dog is the only thing on earth that loves you more than he loves himself.” & “Money will buy you a pretty good dog, but it won’t buy the wag of his tail.” -Josh Billings

Morning Jabrn! - By all means, post your blog! Your flag is set so you can - I like good lyrics too...poetry set to music.

Years later "Imagine" by John Lennon took on new meaning for me. I had never 'really' listened to it before.

I need keyboard for dyslexics my self . . .

I have to go back to wedding at Lenexa in two weeks. I hate driving back to Billsburg. I-64 (no way), Rt 60 (police know me by first name), Rt 40 over to Rt 5 (watch out deer, here I come . . . ) I guess it is going to be I 85 to Rt 10, then back roads over to Rt 5. Brutal.

With you being a nurse have you been seeing a lot of people comming down with the flu? There so many people including my whole family thats caught it. I have spoken to several others that have said the same thing. Just woundering?

no actully I have not watched it, we still have it on the dvr but my babys have gotton a cold so we have not had time to watch it. We have been watching alot of little bill, and blues clues. lol

Yeah, I've never seen so much talk without getting anywhere! :)

loved the joke...so true...so very true

Thanks for posting a new blog on the greenies site. I am just too darned busy right now to write much of anything but hopefullly that will subside soon.

JABRN, you're thinking of another bridge, I can't recall the name, that goes from Maryland to Virginia. The Bay Bridge goes from DC into Maryland and it's HUGE! My BF insists on driving it himself, probably because he knows I would have a panic attack, but his hands sweat the whole time.

What is it like driving the Tunnel Bridge? We are planning to visit Virginia Beach on our way back and will probably drive it.

Nice to meet you, Jill!

Our trips North involve crossing the Bay Bridge (~~SCARY~~)into Maryland to spend the night at BF's brother's, then up through Delaware and on to the coast of New Jersey. Now THAT is some traffic! One Christmas trip we left Brother's in the falling snow and slogged our way to Newark Airport to pick up Sister and on to Mom's. It took about 9 hours traveling at 35 mph. I was terrified that we would wreck - I just knew the Rescue folks would never reach us in that mess.

Actually, Sunday traffic is heavy because everyone is passing through on their way home.

I see on your profile you like football - me too! And I have two cats, 10 years old now, who rule our house. Someday soon I will get a digital camera and flood GOLO with pics of my "girls." My "stimulus rebate" has already been spent on new glasses and car repair.
