Went to MOPS today. The speaker talked about the 5 love languages, then we each took a “quiz” to name our own love languages. Turns out, your love language changes when you have kids. Somewhere along the line “Acts of Service” hit the top of my list, when it was at the bottom before. Seemed […]

“Mom! There’s Dr. Grasshopper’s dentist clinic!” Dr. Snodgrass is a dentist from church – but Liberty was a little confused. Our internet is sketchy. Our phone is out all together. Yes, I paid the bill. No, I’m not quite sure why. If you’ve tried to call… well, the cell phone might be a better option. […]

It’s been a rough couple days. I thought the morning (ha!) sickness thing was done, and it’s back with a vengeance. Last night after supper it snuck up on me, I made it as far as the bathroom sink… and plugged it up royally. Blaine, valiant knight that he is, ended up (without complaint!) using […]

I had my first OB appointment today. Ultrasound reveals: one baby! While some people (Thank you, Sister.) might be disappointed, I was waiting with baited breath for one image to arrive onscreen. In other news: All this sickness that is going around my house isn’t getting better. Found out Mom has pneumonia and all the […]

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

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
