Hey, guess what? Only six weeks left until Christmas. The panicking all at once may commence now. But not for me! I have got my Christmas gifts spreadsheet all up to date and am working on gift ideas and things, organized my calendar, and am hoping to sit down and write up a December meal [...]
After five+ years without being seen by a dental professional, I finally made it in for an appointment last Thursday. Since my teeth had been a bit sensitive for awhile and I had heard some crazy rumor that the rule of thumb is you lose one tooth for every child, I figured this visit was [...]
Ahhh, I love fall. Have I mentioned that? Okay, so the weather outside has been ninety degrees, but I don’t care. As of last week, my fall decorations are up and I’m ready. My Mother told me today that I needed to take them down. Dream on! I haven’t gotten sweaters out yet, at least. [...]
Wildlife Safari last week was great! We drove through the park twice, picnicked on their grounds, took a little train ride, ate snow cones, the kids rode camels, and nobody had a meltdown from spending six hours in the car. Here are a few pictures: Trinity on the Train Kyra the Zebra Girl Hungry Hippo [...]
Trinity is now 8 years old. AAACK!!! Phew. Okay, pardon the flipout there. I am now fine and will continue this message with no further flusterment (I made that word up. My spell-checker is now confused). Since she is having a joint party in a couple weeks with two other girls from church, today we [...]
Specificity works! (also begging…). So yay! I got the fancy little slimline Casio Exilim camera that I wanted for my birthday (thank you parents, Hubby, and SIL). It’s teeny tiny so it fits in my purse/diaper bag/crochet bag, has video capture, and it’s even red. So cool! Apparently if you email everyone who might buy [...]
Okay, my birthday is coming up next month (June 20) and I know you’re all dying to know what to get me. Usually when people ask me what I want, they get a deer-in-the-headlights stare in reply, but this year I actually have two things I reeeeeally want but would never get around to actually [...]
As is usually the case after I deliver a baby, my computer is driving me nuts. I have some brilliant business idea and am gung-ho for a few days. I purchase a domain name, set up a website, and research and install some software (I actually did all of this last week). Then due to [...]
Ahhh, busy week around here. I can always tell when I’m feeling better because the house all of a sudden looks really messy and drives me bananas. Saturday morning I spent three or four hours cleaning out the big kids’ trash trap of a bedroom. Four garbage bags full of broken toys and miscellaneous paper [...]
After the chaos that comprised the entirety of last week (George got home from Vegas Wednesday and then worked all day and into the evening on both Thursday and Friday and then from 2:30 to 8:30 on Saturday), this week is looking blessedly slower. It’s throwing George all out of sorts after working all hours [...]
