Huh what?

August 12, 2009 by Adrienne

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.

August 10, 2009 by Adrienne

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.

August 6, 2009 by Adrienne

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. […]

Letting a cat out of the bag

August 5, 2009 by Adrienne

While this may come as a shock to many of you (not!) Blaine and I have not been thrilled with what our corner of the world has to offer. We’ve been here for nearly four years, and for most of that have been looking to move elsewhere. Now, with a deadline and decision to move […]

Make up your mind already, Momma.

August 3, 2009 by Adrienne

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 […]

It was a really nice thought.

August 2, 2009 by Adrienne

But when I get woke up, not once but twice, by Sterling somewhere in the wee hours because he needs to pee, I start to wish he wasn’t potty trained. Or that he’d just pee in the diaper he’s wearing. Nope, take him potty. Then feed Ruby, because he woke her up and she couldn’t […]

Tell me why…

August 1, 2009 by Adrienne

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.

July 30, 2009 by Adrienne

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 […]

Potty-training, exploded intentions and misguiding monitors

July 27, 2009 by Adrienne

Sterling had a great day yesterday as a newly-potty trained two year old. He had one accident – truly an accident, since he hollered during his nap for me and I’m apparently not in good enough shape to dash up the stairs quickly enough. I’ll take the blame for that one.Today, not so much. He […]

I’ll try to be brief. An introduction.

July 24, 2009 by Adrienne

I’ve been pondering this whole open-blog thing for a while. I’ve posted on Multiply for some time, and Yahoo 360 before that, but those were only open to friends. How much of my daily life should be open for review? Is there anything I have to say that might be found worthwhile? With neither of […]
