Miss Elaine-ous Meme

May 6, 2008 by Elaine

So the new counter, sink and faucet (forgot to mention that last one yesterday) look great. I can’t wait until they do the backsplash tomorrow. I mean the dream of making over this kitchen has gone on a long time my friends. Tim also re-painted his office today so after moving everything out of there…

It’s a “NEW” Day

May 5, 2008 by Elaine

So, it’s Monday which normally means back to the weekly grind. This week is a little different however. They are finishing the “NEW” kitchen today and tomorrow starting with the brand “NEW” counter top and sink. On Tuesday they will replace the backsplash and put in a “NEW” range as well. I will have pictures,…

Wipe It All Away

May 2, 2008 by Elaine

I had one of those not so good “mommy moments” yesterday (aka mini-meltdown). You know the one, where you are tired of picking up the same toys, over and over. Tired of saying “No!!” And you are tired of well, how shall I say this? …wiping things. I mean really, how much wiping can one…

So, What’s Up With Me You Ask?

April 24, 2008 by Elaine

A little list… 1. Little G’s (FIRST!!) birthday is 3 weeks from today. I am a little va klempt (have no idea if that is how you spell that, but you can figure it out, right?) and I have an idea for his little party, but not quite sure how to pull it off yet….

From Diamonds to Diapers

April 13, 2008 by Elaine

We went to Costco today – you know… the place where I buy my jeans (see previous post). We always go with a little list of things we need and then end up with WAY more stuff. What is that about anyway? Unfortunately we never walk out with the big rock (a.k.a. diamond) that I…

Taggin’ Tuesday

April 8, 2008 by Elaine

My friend Becky over at Boys Rule My Life has tagged me for the 7 Things Meme. She and I have whined talked a little about the fact that our sons ADORE Thomas (the train that is). In other words, she feels my pain and therefore we are bonded for life. The Rules:1. Link your…

Manic Monday

March 31, 2008 by Elaine

Here’s my random list for a Monday. Read at your own risk. : ) They start on the kitchen floor this morning, meaning they have to demo the old first. This is the worst part. Dust everywhere and the boys and I have to vacate the house. We will be hangin’ at my MIL’s if…

Growin’ up is Hard to do… Well, for Mommy Anyway

March 27, 2008 by Elaine

I had a startling realization today. My first baby is no longer a toddler or even a little boy, he’s a kid. A full – fledged kid. In the last couple of weeks he’s been doing so many things by himself. He goes to the bathroom without even telling me. He washes his hands on…

Waiting…

May 11, 2007 by Elaine

Not too much going on except waiting for the baby to arrive. My last day of work is tomorrow and as most of you know I am not going back to work so I started training my replacement today. It’s kind of crazy to realize that tomorrow’s the last day but after I spent $40…

I just wanted to put a picture on here of the sweet bouquet I made a few days ago from the flowers and herbs out of my flower beds. Three roses, one iris, some yellow snap draon and some lemon mint (for greenery and scent!) The rose in the center is all bloomed out now…
