Quantcast

Back in the Land of the Living!

I finally hit my limit with the heat and humidity around 2pm yesterday and packed the kids up and headed to my inlaws’ house to camp out, which is about 45 minutes away.  We stayed there for the night.  It was a nice break from the heat but didn’t really provide us with a better [...]

Toto, We’re Not In Kansas Anymore

We got the mother of all storms the other night, at least the worst storm I’ve ever witnessed. We’ve been without power since. I’m borrowing a friend’s computer to stop by and say hi and give an update. We watched the storm from our sliding doors. Menacing black clouds were the only warning that a [...]

Those Were The Days…

Hubby loves to take the kids to the swimming pool when he gets home from work, and every day they look forward to Daddy coming home and hopefully taking them for an evening swim. I am usually a party pooper, opting to stay home with the baby rather than join the husband and kids as [...]

Weekend’s Almost Over

So the weekend’s coming to an end. My parents, who were visiting, went home today.  The Princess is very sad to lose her playmate, her “Gandee” (grandfather).  She said to me just now, “I want them to come down next week.  Cause I love them.” We had some fun shopping.  My mom was in the [...]

One Down, Six to Go!

Last night Hub and I went on a date for the first time in, well, I can’t even remember our last one.  I ordered filet mignon, mashed potatoes, and a glass of red wine – my very favorite meal EVAH. Of course I committed a cardinal sin and ordered the filet cooked well-done. Hub could [...]

This and That

So today I got to meet up with fellow blogger Mainline Mom.  We had a great time getting reacquainted and chatting photography and blogging. Then tonight Hubby came home from work with a pound of my favorite Belgian chocolate from Trader Joes and 18 gorgeous red roses. What a guy. I sure can pick ‘em! [...]

Sleep, Glorious Sleep!!!

Ahhhhhh…  To feel rested when awoken in the morning.  Such simple pleasures. After months of sleep deprivation, the baby is finally NOT rolling herself onto her back and unable to get back to her stomach, NOT sleeping in the same room with me and Hubby and the Princess at the beach, NOT sick and waking [...]

Goal Setting

This is it.  Today is the day.  Last night I drug out all my scrapbooking paraphernalia.  My dining room table is cleared off and ready to be overtaken with cropping tools and pictures and stickers galore.  I am prepared to neglect any and all household chores and send my kids out to play in the [...]

Two Gymnasts

I clearly have another budding gymnast on my hands, judging from the acrobatics the baby has been performing while trying to nurse these days. She either belongs in a gym or a zoo, I’m not sure which!

Glutton For Punishment

You should have no pity on me when I complain about sleep deprivation later today.  And here’s why. It’s 7:45am, and I’ve been awake since 5am, thanks to Baby R, who decided to wake up at the butt-crack-o-dawn this morning.  But she went back down for her morning nap at 6:30, and I should have [...]
