I NEVER Thought I’d Say This But…

March 19, 2009 by Elaine

… 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…

Okay Fine, I Am Paying Attention Now!!

December 30, 2008 by Elaine

Sometimes I think we all need a little “wake up call.” I’m gonna go ahead and call that little questionaire I had to answer at G’s 18 month well check, my latest one. Either I was just kind of “asleep” when it came to observing his development or our little guy decided that he was…

Just Punch me in the Gut Why Dontcha

December 17, 2008 by Elaine

I was blind-sided today. I don’t like being blind-sided. I like things to run on time and smoothly and as expected and to be “normal.” Especially where my children are concerned. All that went out the window today while at Little G’s (one month late) 18-month check up. I knew he was sick and most…

My Kind of Crazy

December 4, 2008 by Elaine

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…

My Chest is Heavy (Unfortunatley no, not like that!)

November 13, 2008 by Elaine

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…

Sweet & Stinky Boys

July 22, 2008 by Elaine

So the first day of our ENTIRE week as three (me being the one out-numbered) went pretty well. We had lunch with Tim’s grandparents and it was a lovely visit as usual. Every time I leave there I am just so happy about the relationship we all share with them. I never would have had…

Oh Please Come to my Pity Party!

June 30, 2008 by Elaine

I have a lot going on in my head these days and I can’t seem to find peace lately. Which really kind of stinks. It doesn’t help that “you-know-who” is back again this week (not sure what is going on with my body at this point) and it’s even worse than last week. I see…

Thank God It’s Over

June 19, 2008 by Elaine

I had a bad day yesterday. A little background would be good, right? Something that hasn’t been in my life for almost 2 years came back Wednesday night. Let’s just say between being pregnant for 9 + months and nursing for 13 now, “this” just hadn’t returned. Until now. And it’s here with a vengence….

Reason #158 Why It’s Hard to be a Parent **UPDATED**

June 6, 2008 by Elaine

Vaccines. I wasn’t even going to bring this up but well, we are off to the doctor today and after reading A LOT in the last couple of days I am pretty freaked out. Both boys are required to get some shots today. Both boys are my heart and soul and I would never want…

Who’s in Charge Here? Oh, Me!

May 29, 2008 by Elaine

So I had a moment today while I was vacuuming the den, making sure that all the glass was off of the floor from the broken snow globe, (I know, you have lots of questions after that statement – I will get to them later) when I started to wonder how I got here and…
