WW – Proof that I can blog about something else besides being preggo & my HUGE swollen feet

September 16, 2009 by Elaine

I filled up this humming bird feeder a few weeks ago and it didn’t take them very long to find it. I took this picture 2 weeks ago and now it is empty! And I stalked these little buggars like crazy to get this picture, lemme tell ya! I just love that I can see…

My Left Side is Tired of Me Sleeping on My Left Side & Other Random Thoughts

September 4, 2009 by Elaine

Can someone please tell me why it’s SO hard to sleep the month or so before baby is born? Isn’t this when I should be getting some of my best sleep, BEFORE baby gets here? YEESH! Get a load of my “cankles!!” (no, they are NOT usually this big…) I mean WOAH. I miss my…

So, We’ve Been Here Long Enough Now…

August 24, 2009 by Elaine

… that I’m sorta getting used to all the rain. … that the garage door actually works correctly. We no longer have to hold the button down the ENTIRE time the door is going down, until it makes it to the cement ground. (okay, it’s been fixed for a few weeks now, but I still…

It’s Like A Roller Coaster (my day, that is…)

August 21, 2009 by Elaine

Yesterday morning was kinda rough. I did NOT want to get out of bed and yet I did. I fed the boys and fought The B Man’s protests to getting dressed. Once he finally gave in I knelt down to help him with his belt and the exhaustion of getting back up was a bit…

Monday Mumblings

August 10, 2009 by Elaine

My parents’ visit was good. For the most part we took it pretty easy. On Thursday The B Man had a swim lesson and we all swam together after. He’s doing really well and I’m so proud of his new underwater abilities. And even Little G LOVES to swim and is so cute in his…

Ramble-riffic!

August 6, 2009 by Elaine

Today my feet are not swollen but every other day in the last week, they have been. So, I’m counting my lucky stars right now. What makes this happen? How can I prevent it? Doesn’t someone know? Ugh. Oh and I’m T.I.R.E.D. Like exhausted. Is this partly my fault for staying up too late every…

Yes, I’m Going to Say The “B” Word

July 21, 2009 by Elaine

No, not that one. “BlogHer.” As most of you know, I’m going to the BIG blog conference this week and I have an array of feelings to go along with that fact. Included in the list are excited, nervous, overwhelmed, oh and kinda FREAKING OUT! Of course the main thing on my mind is “Oh…

Oven-less

July 11, 2009 by Elaine

So, we’ve been without an oven since we moved into this house. I’m not sure if I’ve ever out-right said it but we are renting and right now…. Renting sucks. At least when you own a place you can get your stuff fixed on your time. And it’s turning out that Louisiana time is a…

Tuesday Tid-bits

June 30, 2009 by Elaine

* Some strangers packed up all our stuff yesterday. But according to my husband, they were nice strangers. The boys and I are staying away from the chaos that is packing up a home and we are currently living with our good friends until our departure on Friday. Our oldest boys are good friends and…

Photostory Friday – Perfect Timing

June 26, 2009 by Elaine

As I walked around the house with the supervisor for the foundation repair project, inspecting the job his crew had done, I noticed some clouds rolling in. All of the sudden it wasn’t as sweltering hot as it had been all day. Most of the work had to be done at the back of the…
