Goodness it has been forever! Let’s see… Sleeping is improving, thank God. I think we have hit upon the right combo of medications and daily physical activity. Little Man takes (generic) Zantac (one dose about an hour before bed), a dose of (generic) claritin about thirty minutes after that, and a few doses of Hyland’s… Continue reading Time Flies!!
Yesterday I mentioned that I have been cleaning. And really, for the last two weeks, I have been. I happened upon this post on Grace in My Heart’s blog. It changed the way I view cleaning. Before we were married, and then even for a few years after, I would just take a day and… Continue reading I Have Been Cleaning!
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
* My 18 month old is suffering some serious sleep regression. He screams when we try to put him to bed, no matter the time of day or how exhausted he truly is. Is this separation anxiety? Stubbornness? Is he working something out? * I will take any and all advice on the previous point… Continue reading Random Tidbits
I originally intended to call this post the “loneliness of motherhood,” but I realized that isn’t quite right. Although there are certainly days that are lonely, it is not the pervading feeling of my life. Isolation, however, is. I used to be a middle school teacher. I would go to work and interact with a… Continue reading The Isolation of Motherhood
Did you notice we’ve been missing for over a week? I have – I have certainly missed blogging. But here is a typical day in our household lately: 5:00 am – Keith’s alarm goes off & he gets up to get ready 5:15 am – Little Man wakes up, because the bathroom door opens into… Continue reading And We’re Back…
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
We have been trapped in our house since Monday night. Okay, trapped may be a little dramatic. But, still – inches of ice all over EVERYTHING. It’s beautiful, but cold. Keith worked last night. He awoke this morning to me, nagging him to get. me. out. of. this. house. before. I. go. in. sane. So… Continue reading Ice Day Fun
We are in the midst of an ice storm. We haven’t had weather in Indy like this since Keith & I were in high school. I have to admit, the sound of ice pellets hitting the house is very soothing to me… as long as we maintain electricity! Keith’s truck terminal closed today, so he… Continue reading Yucky Weather – Updated! With pics!
Tuesday at MOPS our Executive Minister was the guest speaker. I love our Exec. Min. I actually have a teeny tiny crush on him. But every time he opens his mouth, wisdom pours out. He began his talk by saying there is no such thing as balance. Society today tells people, especially mothers, I think,… Continue reading Managing the Tension
