I took the kids to the park for photos. I learned, and this was a new realization, that there’s a window of time where photos are good. Ruby grins, she laughs – she’s all good. The worst that can happen is that she decides to crawl to another spot on the grass – the bugs […]
Oh, the drama!
Blaine says boys don’t whine. I disagree. See for yourself. Ok, tears done. Photos commence?Nope, not so much.Now?Yep. Time for some deep-cleaning in the toes. Perfect. But the flowers were pretty! The best photo I got of them all together? It’s slightly out of focus, Sterling’s not happy, and they are all looking only somewhat […]
An update just for mom.
Feel free to read on, should you dare, but these are things only mothers care about. You know, the rambling, “oh-that’s nice” kind of stuff. I’m too tired for humor or even semi-intelligent thought tonight. We have an application in for a rental. Of course, it hit the weekend and we’re still waiting to hear. […]
Me and My Big Mouth
My morning yesterday started out with an email from a guy on CraigsList. I’d emailed him the night before about a rental property he had advertised there. The email said that he doesn’t rent out three bedroom houses to families larger than 4 people. I was shocked. Really?! Never heard of such a thing before. […]
Huh what?
In the grocery store checkout, the conversation went something like this: “What does Sterling mean?”“Of good character; genuine.”“Of good character or ding-a-ling?!”“Genuine. Real. Not ding-a-ling.”“Oh!” This was a conversation not with Eden, but with the 9 year old son of a very good friend of mine. It still has me giggling. The look on his […]
Can I use the meanderings one again? The overtired part definitely applies here too.
Then again, it usually does. Ruby opposes sleep for Momma. Really, why on earth do I let her get away with this? Nearly a year old an nursing twice in the night. Spoiled baby, that one is. “Three blind mice, three blind mice… they all ran after the farmer’s market…” Seriously, these children need to […]
Meanderings of an overtired mind.
I drank coffee yesterday afternoon. Free samples from Taster’s Choice, mmm. But I digress. Coffee – at 3 pm. At 1:30 am, when I was chattering Blaine’s nearly-asleep ear off, I remembered. Apparently even 3pm is too late for caffeine. At 6 am Ruby reminded me of that, when she was ready to get up. […]
Make up your mind already, Momma.
How awful is it that when Sterling hollered for the second time in 3 minutes from his bed that he needed to potty that I waited a few minutes, hoping he’d just go in the diaper? Really, why? And where is it written that with a diaper, he’ll stay dry all night, but without, wake […]
Tell me why…
Blaine decided to cross over to the dark side… Firefox, that is. He’s been using Opera, but we all know Firefox is the best. This created new problems – namely, I use Firefox. Don’t mess with my tabs! He figured out how to create different users, so we’re all set. Not so much. Firefox had […]
Sunny cems.
We have had our goldfish, Sunny (Thus named when he was two. Apparently we needed to be sure he wasn’t going to change color first.) for nearly four years now. He was – wait for it – $0.29 from Walmart. I know! I’d gone through fish after stinking fish, and everything died. Did you know […]
