Trying to maintain my sanity and live to blog about it.
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 […]
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!
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 […]
Washed a load of gender-neutral clothes so the baby won’t be naked until I get the right tub of clothes out after it’s born. First Ruby tried to put the teeny shoes on herself, then gave up and held each and every item up to my belly, then pulled on my belly and told the […]
We lost our internet and my phone’s service the day after my last post, and the internet connection I’m currently trying to use is interesting to say the least. It’s taking me back to the days of dialup… for a much higher than dialup price. Grr, Alltel. We have hot water! It’s been cleared, tested, […]
We bought a house a few months ago. No shocker there. Three and a half months and much labor later, we look like we don’t clean up after ourselves. Rest assured, dear neighbors, this will all be better. Someday. First things first, we’re getting a lawn mower. I’m beyond excited. We have a push mower […]
Liberty asked me today what comes after Romans. I said Ephesians. My dear husband corrected me when I told him this story, so before you email me regarding my error, I know. In all fairness I was 2 hours into typing court reports for a job I’ve started for an online news site, and my […]
A few rather long stories on a really hot day that has not included indoor plumbing or A/C… bear with me here. CATO cashier: “Wow! You are really pregnant!” “Um, thanks. I have at least a month left.” “Is it twins or something?” “No.” “Oh. Um, you look really good.” Gee, thanks! Somehow I’m not […]
Apparently I’m highly predictable. While my search baby names is still on, Facebook friends came through with many name suggestions. About 80% are on my favorite list – a list of names that contains none that thrill my dear husband. But the fact that my friends have nailed almost my entire list is almost disturbing. […]
