… I’m going to. Shopping is becoming a chore. There, I said it. Whether it’s with the kids or even not. I used to love to shop and shop and then go shopping some more. It’s possible the economy is in trouble because I don’t shop very much anymore. Ok. maybe not. But still, I’ve…
Musings on my “Mid” Thirties
We are coming into birthday season around here at the Miss Elaine-ous household and it all begins with mine, two weeks from today. I’m contemplating this one a little more than usual, I assume because I’m hormonal and partly because well… as this birthday approaches I realize I’m about to hit my “Mid” thirties. I…
Not Me Monday, 7th Edition
The following is the list of things I definitely did NOT do this week. “Not Me” Monday is hosted by the lovely MckMama and trust me, it’s so much fun to list what you most certainly DID NOT do! Tim and I are NOT constantly marveling at how quiet our new garage door opener is….
Why it’s Good to do Your Kegels
One night last week I had the chance to go out for a ladies night and see “He’s Just Not That Into You.” And let me just say right now that Jennifer Aniston and Ben Affleck actually make a cute couple. And Ginnifer Goodwin was just as adorable as she could be. (side note: did…
WW – A Season of Forgiveness
The weather here in Texas can be so bipolar at this time of the year. One minute you’re wearing a sweater and jeans while the temps are dipping into the ’40s and the next day you’re taking the kids to the park and sweating. It’s truly crazy. I strolled outside on one of the warmer…
A “Peace” of my Sunday
I had to cantor at the 8 a.m. mass a few Sunday mornings ago. (For those of you who aren’t Catholic, that simply means I led the congregation in the music for the mass.) I have a love/hate relationship with singing at this time because I have to get up quite early to get there,…
My Kind of Crazy
Wednesdays are a little crazy for me. Why? you ask. Well ’cause I seem to be in the car A LOT. Today on the way back from an afternoon trip to Chick Fil A for ice cream for the kids and a sanity break for me, I counted. I buckled and unbuckled the kids’ 3…
WW – We Miss You Dada
So the hubs has gone a travelin’ again. The two weeks with him home was wonderful but all good things must come to an end. At least in this case. The boys are really starting to miss him more when he’s gone and both of them cried for him tonight. Little G is now used…
The BEST Mail
I usually get the mail during the day. Lately The B Man likes to run out ahead of me and check for “catalogs” (which to him means ads for toys). Today we checked the box twice to no avail. By the time I thought of it again it was cooler and dark out and I…
My Chest is Heavy (Unfortunatley no, not like that!)
I don’t “vent” on here very often. It’s just not what I am about. But today. I need to vent. Yesterday morning I yelled at The B Man. We all yell on occasion, right? But let me back up a little. … We had storms on Monday night and Tim is gone AGAIN. The B…
