The REAL Reason Man Invented Duct Tape

August 31, 2004 | 6 Comments

Been really busy today but had to share this little joke with you guys:
A police officer pulls over a speeding car. The officer says, “I clocked you at 80 mile per hour, sir.” The driver says, “Gee, officer, I had it on cruise control at 60, perhaps your radar needs calibrating.” Not looking […]

Seems Like Only Yesterday

August 29, 2004 | 9 Comments

I remember it like it was yesterday. Waking up at 6am after a fitful night of sleep. Finding my Dad already awake too, looking as though he hadn’t slept much either. He fixed me some eggs and toast but my stomach was in knots. I didn’t want him to feel bad so of course, as […]

Last night I had to go for my CPR re-certification for daycare. I have to re-license by Tuesday and of course CPR certification is one of the licensing requirements. Nothing like waiting until the last minute eh? LOL Anyway as we were going through the different emergency situations and their corresponding lifesaving techniques, specifically infant […]

Creature of Habit

August 25, 2004 | 8 Comments

I’m addicted to my routines. I have to do many things throughout my day in order. The course of my day goes pretty much the same one day to the next and I find a great deal of comfort and peace in them. When things get thrown off course though I’m lost. I start turning […]

Weekend Recap

August 24, 2004 | 6 Comments

:sun3-ani: Phew! This is the first chance I have had to sit down and write since Friday. We had a busy weekend but well worth it.
On Saturday my parents came down for a visit in the afternoon. They brought a little cake, a card and a present for me for my Second Birthday. Those […]

Doggie Doorbell

August 20, 2004 | 9 Comments

Lauren is at that age where she copies everything she sees. A few words here and there and many actions too. The words and phrases are cute - uh-oh spagheyi-o’s is one of her favorites. She knows the chorus to Old MacDonald by heart now. She holds her nose and says “mee mee”. She looks […]

4 Year Plan Reaction

August 19, 2004 | 7 Comments

:cldsun2: My Aunt came down for a visit yesterday as she does every few months or so. In our conversation the subject of the 4 year plan came up. I told her Jeff’s and my thoughts and our plan for moving forward. I had hoped she’d be as enthusiastic as we were. But she wasn’t. […]

Wait & See

August 17, 2004 | 9 Comments

That’s what the doc said today. He said he felt confident that there was nothing serious wrong. One of the nodes isn’t even considered swollen because of how small it is and the other one is extremely small and just barely considered swollen. I don’t have any fevers, night sweats, weight loss, loss of appetite. […]

Today’s the Day - For Sure

August 17, 2004 | 6 Comments

Today I go see the Ear, Nose & Throat Doctor for certain this time. My insurance is all squared away now, stupid insurance companies, and I have coverage for the daycare. I am scared, to tell you the truth. I really feel better than I did at the beginning of the summer, a lot better, […]

A Quiet Saturday

August 14, 2004 | 6 Comments

:cld: We stayed close to home today and just enjoyed the time together as a family. It’s funny how Jeff has become so much more of a homebody since I met him 13 years ago. I tease him now that he set me up.
When we started dating he made it very clear that there […]

Making Some Changes

August 11, 2004 | 9 Comments

:clddrk-lghtng2: Not too long ago I posted about how my daycare numbers are going down and I didn’t wonder if it was a sign that it was time to look in another direction. In my former life (pre-husband and kids), I had aspired to become an attorney. I was going to be a career woman, […]

We’re Home

August 6, 2004 | 6 Comments

:sun3-ani: We made it home all in one piece. We had a fantastic time and can’t wait to go back to the beach again next year. It was so nice to be entirely focused on family this week. No distractions at all like TV, Computer, Telephone or any other technological interruptions. The kids were great […]
