As I was driving back from picking up The B Man’s school supplies the other day, it struck me. “Tim would never do this.” And I don’t mean that in a negative or mean or bitter way. I just mean he wouldn’t. School supplies are my ‘job’. Partly because I don’t work so, uh yeah….
Just Fly Away
When the kids and I were driving to Alexandria last week I had time to sit with my earphones in and listen to my own music as they sat in the back and watched Toy Story for the 800 gazillionth time. The drive was quite nice, through the country side of western Louisiana, past many…
WW – Typical Day, Not so Typical Night
I went to bed “uncharacteristically early” last night.. (guess the movie and you WIN! nothing but Miss Elaine-ous life kudos points)Therefore I did not post my usual WW post BEFORE I sacked out. The day was similar to many. Dropped one kiddo off at “summer” school… Took the other two to the gym day care…
One Year AND Nine Months
One year ago today we moved our life to Louisiana. Tim left a couple of days before and then I packed the boys in the car, left our good friends’ house, picked up my MIL and we drove away. Me, the boys, my MIL and the sweet baby in my belly. You know, the same…
Imperfect
On the outset my life looks perfect. Right? A wonderful husband who loves and respects me. Three beautiful children, in some people’s ideal order, two boys and a girl. We are surrounded by “stuff,” have a nice home, plenty of food to eat and probably too many clothes to wear. I can take decent pictures…
WW – Home
I went to bed at 7:52 p.m. last night. Although I did not fall asleep right away. I watched some Glee, which if you ask me there was a little too much Kristen Chenoweth and a show with no “Rachel” is just wrong. But hey, not my show so… I think the long walk and…
WW – My Path
Sometimes I wonder what if? What if I’d taken a different path. But then I follow after this little guy and marvel at him and his brother and sister and realize I’m walking the path that was always meant for me…
It Was Kind of a Crazy Day
I left the gym tonight while it was dark and immediately hit the power lock. I looked in the back seat just to make sure I hadn’t locked someone in with me, instead of locked them out (paranoid much?). And that’s when I started laughing at the idea that anyone else could even FIT in…
I Couldn’t See…
We’ve been walking around the neighborhood almost every night with the kids in the last few weeks. Most of the time The B Man rides his too little for him “Thomas” bike while the baby and Little G go in the wagon. Some nights B doesn’t want to ride so in that case he and…
The Soundtrack of My Life
It’s the little boy laughter that echoes throughout the cavernous living room. It’s the music from the exer-saucer as baby’s hand smacks down. Is it something from the Baroque period? I’m not sure. It’s the swish of the washer and the tumble of the dryer. It’s the beeping of the microwave and the ice maker…
