Wednesday, August 18th, 2010I think my RSS feed has forever changed my commenting habits. Now, onto the post – My son had a horrible, no good, very bad school year last year. His fifth grade class was one of the worst his teacher had ever seen. There were seven boys in the class (excluding Josh), and 6 of [...]
The Hills Are Alive
Wednesday, August 11th, 2010I know that each household “looks” different. Some are loud, some are quiet. Some are tidy, some are cluttery. Some are all drama, some are simplicity. Our house is music and laughter. We sing. We sing before bed, we sing when we clean the house, we sing while bored – all of it. So it [...]
Two Ears Old
Friday, August 6th, 2010Today, our beautiful daughters are two years old. Morgan thinks this is two “ears” old, however, and can’t help but grab her ears and pull just to make sure she’s earned them both at this point. It amazes me how we have all come so far. Today, two ears ago, I was terrified because my [...]
Sleepless in Florida – Blame the Italians
Monday, August 2nd, 2010Tonight seems to be a very difficult night for the entire family. David and I went to sleep around 10 (which is early for me) and I just laid there for about an hour and a half. I’d finally fallen asleep, and around 12:30 AM, Josh comes and wakes me up. Actually, no, that’s not [...]
Homemaker 101
Friday, July 30th, 2010Dear Diary, Laundry is relatively done. (Even while I’m doing it, more is being produced.) Dishes are washed. Brownies are even made for our neighbor’s birthday. There’s only one problem….I have no idea what we’re having for dinner. I’ve noticed that I am the sum of these parts. Laundry. Cooking dinner. Washing dishes. Corralling children. [...]
Socks Are Handy!
Wednesday, July 28th, 2010My daughters will be two in a little over a week, and I find that there is so much I understand about what makes them tick. I get what they’re saying most of the time, and I get their motivations. HOWEVER, there are also PLENTY of things I don’t understand. Things like Morgan’s fascination with [...]
It’s almost here…
Monday, July 26th, 2010Two years ago, the world shifted on its axis. The wind stopped blowing, the earth stopped spinning and even the deepest, darkest reaches of space brightened. Within three minutes two beautiful girls….two beautiful girls that I helped create….entered the world. Sure, the wind picked up again, the earth started spinning again and the darkest depths [...]
My Kids Pee On A Puppy
Monday, July 26th, 2010We tried potty training this weekend. I got some of those trainer panties that are cloth on the inside and plastic on the outside, because there’s no way in hell I’m going to let them Hannah go without. The child just waits for the opportunity to have a diaper off before her bath, then runs [...]
Quite Weird Stuff My Kids Say
Wednesday, July 21st, 2010The girls are at the age when they’ve worked so hard to master language, and by golly, they’re going to start using it!!! However, they don’t always do so correctly. Every kid does this, I know, but it’s also why we spend so much time laughing at our house. Well, one of the reasons…. Just [...]
Wilting
Tuesday, July 20th, 2010After the girls were born, my entire body decided to board up and head south for the winter. It’s extremely frustrating! My boobs, my belly…crap, even the bags under my eyes are drooping! The other day, I stepped out of the shower, and Hannah saw the c-section scar (that is vertical rather than horizontal, so [...]
