So, last week I posed a question on twitter, asking people if they would rather have bloggers reply to their comments that they left on blogs or if they would rather have a comment from that blogger on their own blog as a return “favor”. In other words, would you rather continue the conversation with…
Sometimes life hands you apples…
I was out and about on my own yesterday for a little while. It was nice. I had in mind the assignment for You Capture this week and specifically planned a trip to the local outdoor fruit and vegetable market just to take pictures of apples. I took my good camera and was going to…
I’m running alright…
I just sat down. After like 6 hours of GOING, going, gone. Me and the little ones had a pretty lazy morning just hanging out in our p.j.s. Finally at 1:30 I decided it would be a good time to get my bootie in gear and I did a 25 minute strength and stretch workout…
Rocking
We’d just come from swimming at a birthday party, where she twisted and twirled in the water while clinging to her “floatie” for over an hour. Afterward she filled her belly with a sugary cupcake and left a rim of frosting around her little lips. We are home now and she is so tired but…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – Proof I may be a tad bit crazy…
I haven’t officially signed up for it yet. My brain isn’t even truly psyched for it. Yet. But. I’ve told myself I’m going to go for it. I’ve started training for a half marathon.*swallows hard* There are a few conditions, however. First of all (and perhaps the MOST important) I have problems with my right…
Someone wrote a parenting handbook for this kinda stuff, right?
The other night I was sitting on the bathroom floor about to wash two filthy little children when The B man walked in and popped a squat on the bathroom stool. He looked me square in the eyes and said, “Mom, can I talk to you about something?” “Sure!” I said. I assumed he was…
11 Hours a Week!
I somehow found myself with 3 whole hours to myself this morning. How did this happen you ask… Well, it’s because all three of my kiddos are now in some sort of “school”! I took Little G and Baby K for their first day at their same school today. K is technically in “Mother’s Day…
So Long Summer!
Usually come May or so I want Summer to arrive SO badly that I can almost taste the sand that inevitably ends up in my mouth. That’s how much I look forward to our beach vacations. But by the time September rolls around and the humidity has been dripping of my body in the form…
I miss my childhood…
I miss my childhood meals. Well, except for liver and onions. Yeah, those nights I was totally good with a glass of tea and whatever fruit salad and/or vegetable was served. And yes, the sweet tea was excellent. Sometimes it took all day to make it. Mom would put the sun tea jar out on…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday – T.S. Lee!
We were expecting some pretty fierce storms due to Tropical Storm Lee but instead we just got a really soggy holiday weekend. Honestly, I think Tim is/was a tad disappointed. There was a small tree branch down in someone’s yard on the way home from church today so I that’s kinda bad, right? I’m thankful it…
