It’s 7:45 am. I sit at the computer, its early morning, Morning Joe, is on TV. Bella is playing with her only doll, feeding her. Max just walked into the living room having given up that I’d respond to his screaming, “MOOOOOM!”, and go into the bedroom to comfort him. He’s too old, he’s got [...]

We left the house around noon for lunch at Chipotle. It is our family dinning preference [for now] because Bella can eat a big ol’ plate of black beans and rice. And its fairly cheap. After lunch, we hung out at my in-laws because we had nothing planned and watching TV there seemed better than [...]
Its the little stuff in life that makes me so happy all the time.

It was a slow day. A day that leaves me daydreaming about future days.
The only complaint I have about life these days is that I get bored. Of-course, with little ones around, all I need to do is go outside to lift my spirits.
My children play rather well together. I suppose being holed up in [...]

On Friendship and Calling Out…
Just as soon as I think I am qualified for my PC card, I say something whack’d. It happens to me all the time!
A reminder, courtesy of our Universe, that there is so much more to learn.
If I’m going to someday do something with all this brainpower I possess (heh), its [...]
My little comedian and marking the passing of time.

Max: I’m going to tell you a joke, mommy.
Me: Okay.
Max: How does a chicken catch so many grass?
Me: I dunno, how?
Max: With all his feathers!
He likes telling jokes. Its cute. Clever. Sometimes really funny. And sometimes, never ending. He gets on a roll and I find myself wondering if I should fake-laugh or be genuine [...]
What a week!

Thursday, I took Max and Bella to Selby Library for story time. That’s two outings in one week! I really like their program and we all would like to go on a regular basis. In the car on the way there, Max said to me, “I like it when you do things I like to [...]
A little more on too much praising…
Posted in Uncategorized on September 18, 2008 | 4 Comments »
I should prolly clarify my position on not praising Max and Bella for every little thing they do. Its not that I think praise is a negative response, but speaking from of my own life, it is certainly the easiest response and often lacks mindfulness. I can do it without stopping my chores to really [...]
The argument against praise.

Took the kids to Mr. Dean’s music class at a local store, yesterday. A store that I gladly begrudgingly give my money to every time I visit. Usually, a puzzle or toy leaves with me. Tuesday, it was a puzzle for Bella and a pretty dress for my niece. The store is cute, filled with [...]
Happy Anniversary, My Love.

Wednesday, September 10th, was Hal’s and my fourth wedding anniversary. Other than dually noting it, we did not celebrate. In total, we have been together [never really separating even while “broken up”] for 14 years.
A few weeks before we conceived Max, we were broken up for about a month. I had started [...]
Releasing.
Posted in Words on September 13, 2008 | 3 Comments »
As of late, I feel a deep pang of regret. I’m not sure how to shake it or if it will periodically haunt me forever. I know I can’t change the past and I don’t know what the future holds, so my only option is to sit with this moment and grab the shovel. I [...]
