The toilet won’t flush; Blaine’s getting something to fix it, and I gathered the kids together to find out who flushed something they weren’t supposed to. Ruby was quiet, I asked her what she flushed, and finally admits it, scared and whispering. “My poopy.” Oh, honey.
Thank you, my Dear.
As a bridal shower gift, my now sister-in-laws bought me a set of pans. A few years ago, Blaine found a matching saucepan, larger than I had, and added that to my collection. The littlest saucepan, once well-used, had gotten too small to be useful with meal prep for my crew. Today, we hit a […]
Can’t win at losing.
1 cleared garden plot + 1 lawn mower to mulch up the, ahem, vegetable plants pulled = 1 shattered pane in the double-paned sliding glass door Now that must have been one rock hard cherry tomato. Or a rock – it is Missouri soil after all. Just to be an optimist, it was the foggy […]
Calendar confusion and scared stripes – or something like that.
Ah, the busy-ness of this house has taken over. Between that and the internet seeming to only like Blaine, I’m finally getting this updated. And just for the record, first I wrote business. Because that should be busyness. And while business works there too, I fixed it. Because, well, “business” is something I have to […]
Charlotte’s chunking up! She’s 9 lbs 15 oz at three weeks old. She’s gained two pounds since birth. Such a sign of success in the breast feeding department. 🙂 The turtleneck I attempted to put on her this morning was tighter than any turtleneck ought to be though – so much for that shirt. It […]
Photos!
Charlotte had a little photo session today (and a few last week!) and I picked a few to post. She’s two and a half weeks old, her three week appointment is next week, not this week – something that would have been nice to have remembered before I got all the kids dressed and in […]
We’re all alive and well. Having a hard time finding time enough to do all that my day requires, but that’s not exactly a new thing. I spent about five hours today working on getting new stickers for another year on the license plates. Went to the old inspection place, found out they don’t do […]
It’s a girl!
Charlotte Serenity was born yesterday afternoon at 4:08 pm in terrifically impressive fashion. She weighed in at a small-for-one-of-ours 7 lbs 14 oz and was 20.5 inches long. We’re both quite well and I’m so excited to finally get to meet her!
Viewer discretion advised.
If my internet decides to cooperate, I’ll post a photo on here. It’s rather disturbing, I’m sorry. There’s a reason I avoid mirrors these days. We’re in a homeschool co-op this year, and I’m helping out in the elementary music class. The looks on some of the 5th-6th grade girls are quite funny. They look […]
Just killed the biggest tarantula I never wanted to see. It was inches from my sleeping son’s head and the body mass was size of my fist, plus giant furry legs. Yes, I screamed. Called Blaine afterward and he laughed at me and my panic. He’s so in the doghouse. But rest assured, when Blaine […]
