Two weeks ago was Little Man’s two year checkup. 35 3/4″ tall, 30 pounds, big head, very healthy 🙂 But I told our ped about the snoring, gasping and coughing I noticed while LM and I co-slept in Florida in November. She preliminarily diagnosed him with obstructive sleep apnea. That would explain the frequent night… Continue reading Sleep Issues: A Diagnosis?
I know this post is ill-timed, what with the celebration of the birth of Jesus right around the corner and all, but I have to “get this out.” Many of you have followed along with my tale of our sleep deprivation over the past two years. (if you want to catch up, click “sleep” under… Continue reading Crisis of Faith
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
I haven’t been blogging much. You can tell, if you just scroll down and notice the gaping times between posts. I haven’t been keeping up on my other blog, either. I wish I had a really good reason for this, like we’re moving, or I’m super busy being a terrific mother, or my husband is… Continue reading If…
You know when you have to play an ice breaker game or a get to know you game? You know that question, “If you could have dinner with anyone, living or dead, who would it be and why?” I hate that game. I hate that particular question. For years I stuck with the answer Pilate,… Continue reading Book Review: Choosing to SEE
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)
I have writer’s block. I don’t know what to write. Somedays I think of grand ideas for posts… and then other days, I think, “Who wants to read about your boring daily life?”. So… tidbits. ***** Last week was rough, what with the death of a former student and all. She was only 12. I… Continue reading Writer’s Block
A seventh grade girl from where I taught passed away yesterday. Suddenly. No warning. She was here. Then she was gone. And while we rejoice with the confidence that she is in Heaven with Jesus right now… I can’t even imagine what her mommy must feel. I went into school today. The school where I… Continue reading I Can’t Even Imagine
In the past two days, my heart has stopped twice. Now, I realize we are raising a boy. And he is ALL BOY. So yesterday, we decided to take advantage of the strange 70 degree weather here in Indiana. We trek to the zoo. All is going well…we’re there…we’re stationed by the duck pond. Little… Continue reading Heart Stoppers!
Debbie wrote a post yesterday that prompted the thoughts in the back of my mind to spring to the front. I have always had high expectations for myself. Typically I don’t project these expectations onto others, and having high expectations for myself has not really been a problem. But when it comes to motherhood… especially, I think,… Continue reading Great Expectations
