Graceful As A…

Well if you read yesterday’s entry you know the day got off to a rocky start. I did my best not to be bitchy and for the most part was doing okay. Until I was going down the stairs yesterday afternoon.
We had finished lunch and I had picked up after the kids and was on […]

What A Day - Already

November 29, 2005 | 6 Comments

I didn’t sleep very well last night because it was so hot and stuffy in our house. We went from 20 degree weather to 60 degree weather literally overnight. It sucked. I tossed and turned most of the night and was totally awake from 3am - 4am. Then the fun began.
The dog started barking at […]

It’s official. I only have one job now - running my daycare. I’m excited about the prospect of having only one endeavor to focus 100% of my efforts on. This will be the first time in years I didn’t also hold a side job for a little extra cash.
On the same day I gave […]

So how was your Thanksgiving? Yesterday was one of those horrible travel days that sticks in your mind for a long time. We had been hearing for days that we were going to have SNOW on Thanksgiving day. Ice storms for Thanksgiving? Sure. Cold? Without a doubt. But snow? Not for a real long […]

Playdates

The kids and I had a blast at the playground yesterday. I pushed the little ones on the swings over and over and over. But I could not get enough of their smiles and the sounds of their laughter. We ran all over the place, climbing the structures, going down the slides again and again. […]

Nick - “Mom I think you need to have a conversation with Elizabeth about how it hurts when you kick people in their shins.”
Me - “Elizabeth don’t kick your brother in the shins.”
Nick - “Wow that was a short talk.”

An Apple A Day

I try like any other good mom to get my kids to eat healthy. I buy plenty of fruits and vegetables at the market each week and we eat most of them - very little goes bad and needs to get thrown away. In an effort to encourage better snack choices the rule is that […]

The Many Faces of Marriage

November 14, 2005 | 5 Comments

It’s late and I need to get to bed. I have to work early and get Olivia off to school in the morning but sleep eludes me. The boys are still at camp and won’t be home until Tuesday night and I miss them. Don’t get me wrong - there are definite advantages to having […]

Ketchup Anyone?

The girls and I are on our own for the next 3 days while the boys are at hunting camp. Tonight we had to run out to get a few things and in my supreme laziness I decided to get them McD’s for supper. We went through the drive thru, took our food home and […]

I have been hiding from the world for a while now. It’s my typical MO when things are overwhelming me and have me feeling pretty down. I’ve even been hiding from my best friend - the one person you’d think I would turn to when things are going bad in my life. She and I […]

I’m sorry I haven’t been around much. I’ve been getting more scheduling work again (YUCK!) to make up the difference financially and dh seems to need a lot of attention right now as he is feeling pretty worthless.
We had a good Halloween. I wanted to share a photo of my kidlets from their school Halloween […]
