The Good, The Bad and The UGH.

June 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m actually going to start with the UGH part, just to get it out of the way. The house, is suckin’ the life outta me. The one I’ve written a post to profess my love for (but haven’t published yet). The one we are currently living in and need to sell in a so-so market….

STRESS is About to Become My Middle Name

June 9, 2009 by Elaine

Tim flew out for his third to last trip for the “old” job on Sunday. The boys and I are still in Austin and yesterday my mother did my laundry and cooked for me (it’s almost like high school all over again, except I don’t remember changing any diapers then…). Yesterday we got an email…

An Awesome Reunion

May 26, 2009 by Elaine

I hope everyone had a great Memorial Day. Ours was pretty good. Tim made some of his famous barbeque (well it’s famous with our family and close friends anyway…) and we hung out playing the Wii and well, eating… My friend Claudia made some fantastic banana pudding and I want to thank her for leaving…

What We Pass on to Them

May 19, 2009 by Elaine

I’m a nail biter. Always have been and always will be, at least off and on. Right now, all my nails have “a little white” on the ends but on any give day they could have no white or twice to three times as much as they do now. You just never know with me….

Some Rambling with a side of …. blah, blah, blah

I have a lot going on in my head right now. Some of it I will spill right here, right now and some of it I’m not quite ready to divulge yet. This post is going to be a little “rambly” but right now I feel I need to type some of it out here,…

Did I Ever Tell Y’all About the Time…

April 27, 2009 by Elaine

… that I peed my pants in the third grade? What can I say? It’s late and I need to post something. Third grade was fine otherwise, except for THAT day. Well and the one where I got in trouble for talking too much in social studies and the teacher made me go back into…

You know you are a mom when…The sequel

April 16, 2009 by Elaine

Last week my bloggy friend Kristen did a post entitled “You know you are a mom when…” and I thought it was such a cute and funny concept that I asked if I could continue the list from my perspective. So, here’s my “You know you are a mom when”s… – You have to say…

Tuesday’s Tribute – Time Wasted. Patience Tested.

April 14, 2009 by Elaine

This week I am participating in Jay & Deb’s Tuesday’s Tribute. And although I am usually a pretty positive person, today is not so positive. Just warning you. Once upon a time I was in a hurry (which happens a lot by the way) and had just 30 minutes before I needed to pick up…
