I guess it is! Today is my hubby’s birthday, and my Dad & Stepmom left town. My Mom agreed to stay (up all night) with the kiddo, so we’re having an impromptu “couple” night! All night! We might sleep until noon! Uninterrupted! Last night the kiddo was up from 2:30 until 6:00. I had a… Continue reading Is It Really February 11?
I used to be a middle school teacher. I interacted with about 150 students and a dozen or so staff members five days a week, nine months of the year. I love teaching. Early on in my teaching career, however, I realized I am the type of person that needs feedback – a lot of it.… Continue reading Fulfillment vs Feedback
Last year I wrote a few posts about my desire to have a perfect Christmas (and the requisite honest follow up). Obviously, that did not come to fruition, because nothing in this life is perfect. I scaled back my expectations (for myself) this year. Interestingly, there have been a number of blogs out there discussing… Continue reading Christmas This Year
Little Man turned 22 months last Friday. I have no stats, save this one: After 22 months of interrupted sleep…22 months in a row… I am done. I have reached my breaking point. I am exhausted. I have no patience. I need prayer. And sleep. That is all. – Posted using BlogPress from my iPad
It’s a time thing. And I think my life is fairly boring… I have been cooking and cleaning and taking care of my kiddo and my hubby. I have not been blogging (obviously), watching much television or anything alone. My son has a love affair with our vacuum. Wish he would actually sweep the floors!… Continue reading I Suck at Blogging
Last December, I wrote about our decision to shut off our cable. You can read it here. Yesterday we decided to get rid of our DVR. Gulp. We ordered an antennae that should arrive this week. When it does, I will call our cable provider and shut off their service. This morning I realized one… Continue reading Addict, Part Two
Lots of things on my heart recently. Lots of things floating through my head. I almost don’t know where to begin. My posts of late all seems to be all over the place, because when I do have time to write, it all just pours out like I’ve burst a pipe somewhere! Stay At Home… Continue reading On My Heart
I’ve written before about my love of the television show “Parenthood.” While I watch it, it prompts me to think about all sorts of things. Sometimes it makes me think about the topics at hand; this week it was secondary infertility and lack of sponatneous sex with your spouse, throwing a birthday party for a… Continue reading More on "Parenthood" (but maybe not really)
It’s 7:00 pm where we live, and this is what is on my brain tonight: 1) I smashed my finger in the lazy susan cabinet about 10 minutes ago. Lots of tears on my part and every tap of a letter on the keyboard reminds me I should pay more attention when putting away dishes.… Continue reading On My Brain Tonight
This is my theme in 2011: Life is messy. I was thinking about this in the shower yesterday (well…today…I’m writing this on Friday night. But whatever, right?). Life is messy. It’s not beautiful and pristine and dustless and without pain and blood and gore. Even the creation of new life here on earth is sweaty… Continue reading Life is Messy
