In this progressive age…
Pin itwhere one can get just about anything and everything anytime — shouldn\’t a pregnant woman be able to get and eat as many Girl Scout chocolate covered peanutbutter cookies as she needs (it truly is a need)? It is that time of year yet???? Or did I miss it the last time? Ahhhh!!! I [...]
My Resolution
Pin itI resolve to GIVE IN TO THE CHAOS. It is futile to resist, like fighting an undertow. Chaos will exist. I resolve to peaceably exist with my new companion:) Together we will recover my hard drive, laugh at tax deadlines, find a bigger home, sell this one, have a baby, become a mother of [...]
With Remembrance
Pin it…A moment to remember the vitims of the tsunami last week. I pray that the world communities will keep compassion in our hearts for the people and countries that were hit. It is shocking… unbelievable… It hardly seems real sitting on my comfortable couch at home. A few days before Christmas I recalled that [...]
Motherhood…
Pin itSure doesn\’t seem bring out the best in me. At least not like in my dreams. Before becoming a mom I had beautiful dreams: of patience and giving calm guidance; cooking with children under toe — gleefully letting my cherubs crack the eggs and measure the flour; holding hands with my offspring and joyfully [...]
Blind Date
Pin itAlright. I knew Carnival was a Vegas-style cruise line. According to all the reviews I read — it is considered the most like it of all the cruise lines. However, it was less expensive and had a \”great\” children\’s program \”. I had forgotten how \”non-Vegas\” we are! I write this to remind myself [...]
Sleepless
Pin itI hate it when I can\’t sleep. It\’s not due to caffeine too late last night. It could be that we had 11 teens over last night and I still haven\’t wound down!!! Nah… the reason I woke up in the first place is because of my cold. The reason I am still awake [...]
There's No Place Like Home…
Pin itDon’t get me wrong, it was nice to be in a tropical climate for nearly 12 days. However, there really is no place like home. It hit me as I was driving into Silverdale to get a few errands done — eggnog latte in one hand, pumpkin scone in the other, knee on the [...]
House Hunting
Pin itSpeaking of \”issues\”… we put down 3 different offers on the same house over the past 3 weeks (or so). The first offer we submitted was under asking price, contingent on the sale of our house, and we asked for 5 extra days for inspection. Rejected. No counter-offer, just rejected. The second offer was [...]
On the move
Pin itIt\’s been hard to read blogs, write in mine, or even do laundry. Heck, showers seem to have become optional! I was looking at my calendar and discovered that out of the last 8 weekends (the one coming included), either me, or the entire family has been gone 5 of them. To add to [...]
No Time
Pin itThere is no time. At least no time to do the things I really want to do. I have to make time to clean pee off the floor (potty training daughter). I have to make time to clean the poop too. I have to make time to wash the laundry (notice I didn\’t say [...]
