I drove up close to the mailbox like I do almost every day after picking up The B Man from school. He rolled down his window, opened the box and grabbed up the envelopes and fliers. He handed them to me and I was happy to count seven Christmas cards amongst the pile and see…
The First Few Days…
(click to enlarge – welcome home sign made by The B Man – isn’t that the sweetest thing??) Well, we are home and things are going pretty well. Baby K is not all that into breastfeeding, unfortunately and today or tomorrow I plan to see a lactation consultant as well as try some things that…
Do They Teach “Heart-String Pulling” in School?
Yesterday morning we all over-slept a little. The B Man (who really needs some time to play in the mornings before school) only had 25 minutes to eat breakfast, get dressed and get ready to go. Not good. Little G was ALL outta sorts because I was in a huge hurry (didn’t pack lunch the…
38 Weeks is a LONG Time
I kinda felt like just hiding in the shadows yesterday. The only reasons I left the house was to pick The B Man up from school and return a DVD from the library, all in one trip. I showered late and didn’t eat very much. There’s not that much room left. My body is tired…
I’ve Come to Depend on You
Yesterday was a less than stellar day. I spent the majority of it wallowing in self pity and laying on some soft-ish surface in the house. It wasn’t one of my better days. Probably one of the worst actually. It started out with the boys collectively behaving THE worst they have EVER behaved in church…
No.
Last night Tim walked into the living room from the kitchen and he asked me if I was starting to feel like this was home. I broke down. The answer was “No.” Yes, this new-to-us house has all of our things in it. Yes, my three boys are here and my girl kicks enthusiastically in…
WW – Bloomin’ Memories
I know it’s probably already getting old and it’s just starting. You know, about the moving and all but well, that’s kinda my life right now, so here it is again. Something about moving. But I included a pretty picture, so at least there’s some eye candy to get you through… This is a bloom…
Texas, My Texas
As we prepare to leave the great state of Texas for who knows how long, I’m pondering what a BIG deal it really is to me. I’ve lived somewhere in Texas since I was a wee 16th month old. All the big things that have happened in my life have happened within in these borders….
All I Have to Say Is…
BRING ON THE PINK!!!! It’s A GIRL!!! I’m still reeling a little from the news so I will probably post tomorrow or even later today on my feelings about this. But just know that I was so excited that I went to buy this: And I SO wish I had a picture of Tim’s face….
WW – Passing of the Torch
Yesterday was a really emotional day for me. I am not exactly sure why. I found myself blubbering at one point. I was glued to the t.v. during the inaguration ceremony and in awe at the crowds on the National Mall. Just thinking about it again makes me tear up. I think A LOT of…
