I Can See Clearly

May 31, 2006 | 7 Comments

Yesterday my husband and I had planned that I would take Nick and Olivia to the eye doctor’s to pick up their new glasses after school. Jeff got home from work and immediately collapsed on the couch, complaining how exhausted he was. Sd had been at the house most of the day and was complaining […]

Blending Families

May 30, 2006 | 11 Comments

How was everyone’s long weekend? Mine ended up being busy enough with a lot of little things and I feel like I didn’t get a minute to relax all weekend long. Yesterday we went to my mother in law’s house for a real cookout this time. You’ll remember last time when we had a cook […]

Memorial Day

May 29, 2006 | Comments Off

Today I think of all the fallen soldiers throughout our history. But I especially mourn the loss of those soldiers in Iraq so recently lost. My prayers for their families and prayers for peace go out today.

Summertime…

May 27, 2006 | 8 Comments

Since Memorial Day Weekend usually signifies the beginning of summer I thought I would change my blog theme. I love the watercolor header with the lemons mixed in - there are some good templates over at Lilac Pixels for you Wordpress users.
We had to go to a dedication ceremony this morning for our new Town […]

What Is It With Friday’s?

May 26, 2006 | 5 Comments

*UPDATE BELOW*
Well I have another crazy Friday on deck this week. I’m going to have 6 kids for most of the day and then the number will be up to 10 by 3pm. My daughter has already called from school to tell me that there is a Memorial Day Parade today at 10:30am and she […]

Update on Lauren

May 25, 2006 | 8 Comments

Well when Lauren woke up yesterday I looked at her arm where the tick had been attached the night before and I freaked. There was central clearing and a red ring outside of that. Erythema migrans is the bull’s-eye rash associated with Lyme Disease and that’s exactly what her arm was starting to look like […]

A Spider’s Stuck!

May 24, 2006 | 8 Comments

So Jeff and I were watching the American Idol finale last night, which was incredibly boring compared to past years, when our 3 older children came running upstairs from the playroom obviously upset.
“Lauren has a spider on her arm and we can’t get it off.”
“What? What do you mean you can’t get it off?”
“It’s stuck. […]

Strange Sighting

May 23, 2006 | 5 Comments

So I had to head back to my favorite place last night - the grocery store. It was definitely a better trip this time around since I didn’t have any children with me and it was 7pm so there weren’t as many people in the store. I also saved $80 off my bill, paying $142 […]

Back to Normal - Please!

May 22, 2006 | 4 Comments

Wow! What a weekend. Do you ever have those times where you’re glad to get back to the normal, boring work week? Today is one of those for me. Calmness, predictability - they are my friends after the last couple of days. What I thought would be a relaxing few days without the hubby turned […]

TGIF!

May 19, 2006 | 6 Comments

He’s home. My Nick is home. Jeff actually trumped me on getting in the shower last night so he went to get Nick instead of me. I was bummed! But the important thing is he’s home. He had a fantastic trip - they spent 3 days touring the museums around the state with a stop […]

Today’s the Day

May 18, 2006 | 3 Comments

Nick’s coming home today! Nick’s coming home today! Not that I’m a little excited or anything. Not that I’m a little angsty over the fact that I have not heard from him at all. I told him to call home collect if he needed to talk with us. Doesn’t he know that translates to “Mom […]

Oh My Aching Stomach

May 17, 2006 | 5 Comments

I worked myself into a stomach ache last night. I don’t know if it’s because of missing and worrying about Nick so much (see yesterday’s post) or because I’m finally facing our money problems and trying to do something about it. Yeah, you’re right - it couldn’t possibly be about the money could it?
You see […]

He’s Gone :(

May 16, 2006 | 6 Comments

*sniff, sniff* I just dropped my son off at school and he will be gone until Thursday night on a field trip. WAHHH!! I am going to worry about him and miss him so much. He hasn’t been gone like this ever before. Sure he spends the night at friends’ houses, he is 10 after […]

A Good Day - For The Most Part

May 15, 2006 | 11 Comments

Did you have a good Mother’s Day yesterday? I hope so. Every one of the mothers that visit me here and the ones I visit also, truly deserve a special day. Mine started out great and ended - okay.
I was awoken early yesterday morning by a lot of noise in the kitchen. Our bedroom is […]
