One nose, running away…

March 13, 2010 by Adrienne

Sterling: “Daddy, can you blow up my nose?” After trying to catch his runaway nose all day, apparently he’s fed up with it. 🙂

Alive and… well, maybe just alive.

March 12, 2010 by Adrienne

We’re still here. I’m still puking – sometimes. I’m 12 weeks now, and hoping things start looking up soon. I called the OB today, scheduled my first appointment. Gee, I can’t wait. There’s been speculation regarding my sister’s twins and her sick desire for me to experience twins as well, so ruling that out will […]

Coupon, anyone?

February 16, 2010 by Adrienne

Oreo sent me a coupon for a free package of Oreos when I became a fan on their Facebook page. I redeemed my coupon today, and the kids enjoyed their very first Oreo. Pretty sure they’ve never had them before. Is that sad? But Eden took the cake – or the cookie, if you’d rather. […]

Here we go again.

February 13, 2010 by Adrienne

I’m not certain I’m ready for the announcement, but it’s hard to hide these days. Baby #5 is due in September. Judging from the way I’ve been feeling, everything is doing what it’s supposed to. Judging from how I’m looking, I’m a lot further along than the 8 weeks that I really am. My muscles […]

And so life goes…

February 11, 2010 by Adrienne

Blaine’s home. Life’s back to “normal”. My “old” friend’s visit went well. So well, we’ll see them again tonight for supper. It was so fun to “reminisce” on times past. I got a comb stuck in my hair last night. Rephrase: I had nothing to do with it. Names withheld to protect the guilty, one […]

Diet results: unsatisfactory. Must have been the placebo.

February 6, 2010 by Adrienne

I’ve been on a diet for about 6 1/2 years now. It’s the “one bite for you, two for me” method – otherwise known as a hovering child that must eat whatever I’m eating. So tell me, why am I not a good 20 pounds lighter? Like today. Lunch today, sans Blaine, was tater tots […]

Everyday funnies.

February 4, 2010 by Adrienne

Ruby’s teething, which means a rash. I took her diaper off, left her bare bottomed for a bit before her bath, and she climbed onto Eden’s bed to pee. Really now. I figured I’d be cleaning up a puddle off the kitchen floor – but not washing sheets, blankets, quilts, the whole bit. Seriously now. […]

ABC Mushrooms and Food Sharing 101

January 31, 2010 by Adrienne

We had pizza for supper last night. Afterward, I had my younger two in the bathtub while the older two finished eating. Liberty came to me with a mushroom from her pizza. I love mushrooms, she doesn’t, it’s a good arrangement. I chewed and swallowed before she told me the whole story. “I was eating […]

It’s really not that complicated, baby. It’s not.

January 28, 2010 by Adrienne

“Mom, can you make me eggs that are flat and either hard or runny?” I laugh. “Are those called fried or scrambled? I can’t remember!” “Fried, honey.” “Can you make me fried eggs that are runny?” I fried her eggs. I broke one in the pan. It’s the stove’s fault, I’m sure. (Really, it’s not […]

Just a common thief.

January 18, 2010 by Adrienne

Sterling was stirring hot chocolate on the stove for me. Not certain he was getting the bottom as it heated, I took the spoon and stirred it a bit. “Mama, I can’t stir the haa’ choc-ate any-more. You stir it Mama. I can’t stir it. Nope.” “Why can’t you stir it anymore?” “‘Cause you ‘tole […]
