Yesterday was so jam-packed with goodness that I’m going to bullet point my day…
Had a lovely morning with the kids then got ready for C’s birthday party at 2 pm
Needed to stop at the store for a present and was sooooo worried about having both kids with me in that environment, without help. However… Max [...]

Bella was sleeping when I arrived at Max’s school so I left the car running with the air conditioner and radio on to keep her comfortable. As I was walking back to the car, Max by my side, I looked down at my set of keys and saw that I had the wrong set. [...]

Putting Max back into pre-school was a smart move. That coupled with Bella sleeping in her own space at night has given me a sense of independence that has been missing for a while. I’m getting good sleep at night AND I am enjoying my toddler’s company, again!
Max is in school Monday, Wednesday, & [...]

Hal’s five day weekend was just wonderful. Last night, I wanted to know how soon he could take two more weeks off from work. I love it when he’s home.
We had a lovely weekend with the double-fun birthday party on Saturday, and Dinosaur World on Sunday. My kind of weekend, because the [...]

Just got home from Iris and Lilah’s birthday bash at the beach. Yeah, eat your heart out Northerner’s – I was at a beach party! The water is too cold to swim in, but the weather was absolutely perfect. I didn’t drop one iota of sweat and I had blue jeans on! [...]

We joined the world of cable TV watchers, today. That’s right folks, we now have cable… the kind you can record. It will stay off during the day, for the most part, but it is oh-so-nice to watch at night.
I grew up watching TV with my parents and have fond memories of movie [...]

Bella has been sleeping in her crib for the past six nights. I created a routine of reading, rocking, and nursing her before laying her down by 8:30 pm. She isn’t actually sleeping when I put her in the crib but she normally falls asleep shortly thereafter. Not without fussing and crying, [...]

I have been knocked-out-dragged-down-dead- tired for the past 5 days. I think my body is finally on the mend from this nasty cold. Oh yeah, and of-course I got my period just as I was starting to get sick. Good times.
So, I’ve decided to put Max back into his old preschool. [...]

MIL picked Max up this morning and my friend Liz is coming over later to take care of Bella. I’m going to spend some time out of the house by myself, today. Hal is working a 9 day stretch and this is my only opportunity for some respite. A part of me [...]

Its not the constant touching, jumping on, talking, or needing that have worn me down today. Its not my son’s insistence that mommies don’t get sick. Its not the reality that there isn’t anyone to give me a lunch break. And its not the responsibilities of the day that have zapped me [...]
