Tragedy in Oconomowoc

My sister in law’s house burned down.

Perhaps you heard about a church exploding in Oconomowoc Wisconsin. The house next door to the church burned so badly they had to eventually tear it down. We just moved my sister in law and three of her four children in there about 2 1/2 weeks ago. They have lost everything! Thankfully no one was home at the time and they are all safe.

Contrary to what the papers and news stations have reported this is the truth: The people that lived there were my sister in law and three of her four children. She is divorced and separated. The man in the newspapers and tv reports has never lived there. He has a separate residence and he has lost nothing.

If there is anyone that would like to donate to the family, all donations are being handled through the family’s church and can be referred here or visit this blog for a paypal link.  http://oconomowocexplosion.wordpress.com/

Last Tango in Paris

Labor day weekend is here and instead of going “up north” like the rest of Wisconsin SugarMomma*  and I decided to stay home and not spend money on the road trip. We are going to try and enjoy the last bit of nice weather in WI before fall comes, which will probably be in two weeks.

I am trying to process my feelings before starting school in a couple of days. Scared, nervous, excited, motivated, and completely freaked out. As the deadline approaches I am having all those negative thoughts that always pop up at the last minute. What the fuck am I thinking that I can go to school, am I really smart enough to do this, am I going to fail all these classes, I’m going to be even more poor than I already am. So going to try and exhaust those feelings as I cram as much family and fun as I can into the last days of summer.
