Be Careful…

what you wish for. Remember how I said I’d rather have a cold that the puking virus any day? I have a cold. And I’ve lost my voice. Do you know how hard it is to yell at your kids when you have no voice? It’s not easy hollering at them in sign language but […]

The Birthday Gift That Keeps on Giving

January 25, 2006 | 7 Comments

We celebrated Olivia’s birthday Monday night with her favorite dinner - breakfast. We made Chocolate chip waffles, bacon, eggs and home fries. Everyone feasted and when her brother got home from basketball practice at 8pm we had cake, ice cream and her presents. It went well for the most part except for the typical fights […]

I remember it like it was yesterday still. It was 11pm on a Saturday night, January 22nd. Your father was sound asleep and I was watching TV. I had a terrible time sleeping because it was 6 days after your due date. The house was dark and quiet except for the light of the television.

Unfortunately I got stuck spending half the day helping my […]

Upgrade

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.0 this morning so let me know if anything is acting screwy. Looks pretty cool so far - but I’m a techno geek when it comes to this stuff anyway. LOL
The kids seem to be on the mend so maybe we’ll have a halfway decent weekend and then life can get […]

Out of Circulation

January 12, 2006 | 6 Comments

The holidays really burnt me out! I have been dragging ever since. Exhausted - no energy - struggling to get anything done. Hopefully the spring like weather we’re having in the Northeast will help me feel better.
The kids have all been sick nasty colds which leaves me pretty well spent too. Everyone is whiny, everyone […]

Happy New Year!!
I ended up taking an unexpected vacation from my blog last week but now I’m back and refreshed. Every year I take the week off between Christmas and New Years to be with my children and we had a busy, fun week. It didn’t leave much time for the computer but the nice […]
