If there was any doubt that my blog is aptly named, let me dispel those thoughts right now. This week’s posts, as a whole, do seem to prove my “Miss Elaine-ous-ness” From sweet to sad. From stories to pictures. Between a pic of K stuffing her face with pancakes to one of my worst memories…
YOU & Me. It’s Where I Wanna Be- #SummerBlogSocial
I’m thrilled to participate in the #SummerBlogSocial hosted by Liz and Jessica because I really like these ladies and their great ideas and because I’ve been blogging for a while. Not to mention, I’m also very “social” so it certainly seems to fit, right? I perused the topics (all 13 of them!) several times and…
So Much to See
It’s just a picture of kids playing in a sprinkler, right? But once I really looked at this picture I saw so much more. On the bottom right, the baby boy that we worried for when he was born premature, almost 5 years ago… My ten and half year-old niece who towers over my boys…
Tunnel Vision
Sometimes your wallet gets “lost or stolen” and you cancel all the cards and freak out about not having a driver’s license and you cry a little a lot. And then the next morning you are cleaning up toys and there you find it, where it is presumed the toddler left it after using it…
I Think We’ll Call Him Shaggy
I was out on the screened-in porch earlier tonight with the kids enjoying the lovely weather we are having lately and letting the kids play a bit before bedtime. Tim was laid up today with some sort of stomach thing all day and barely made it out of our bedroom. So, outside time was GOOD….
So, an unfortunate thing happened and other ramblings…
red bud buds that aren’t well…. red…. I broke my camera lens. But not in the way you may think. While at the zoo last week the camera “jumped” off the back of the stroller (seriously, I have NO idea how it got bumped off) and when it fell my lens went flying off and…
PSA – DON’T Buy These Jammies – WW
So. I do adore this one store. You know the one that starts with “T”, ends with “ET” and has a “ARG” in the middle? Yeah, that one. BUT. It hath failed me. Tim recently picked out some jammies for the boys there and faster than I could say “Supercalifragilisticexpealidocious” there was a hole in…
Do You Remember the First Time?
No, I’m not talking about that. I’m talking about lots of things in life that we do for the first time. Like riding a bike with no training wheels or losing a tooth or flying in an airplane. Things that are both exciting but can make you anxious all at the same time… I was…
Dear Sleep, Why do you Elude Me?
I haven’t been feeling that well since we returned from our weekend jaunt and I think it may just be allergies (Ragweed can go to h.e.l.l.) but whatever it is is putting me in a foul mood. And when I’m in a foul mood AND not feeling well, I’d rather just sleep and by sleep…
And I think it’s going to rain today…
….but you really never know until the clouds are right over us and I start to hear the “tat tat tat” on the roof of the screened-in porch. We have no plans today, except maybe a quick trip to the grocery store. Between rain clouds, hopefully. I like “no plans” because then I don’t have…
