Quote by Helen Keller
I love quotes. I collect them. I have text files filled with quotes on all kinds of subjects that mean something to me like education, motherhood and spirituality. Today I was reminded of one of my favorite by Helen Keller.
“I long to accomplish a great and noble tasks, but it [...]
Nothing Much…but then there was Dinner
I’ve been busy. I can’t say that it’s anything worth talking about so I haven’t. Mostly keeping the house clean and playing with the boys. Forest appears to be teething again, molars I’m guessing but he doesn’t let anyone into his mouth to know for sure. So he’s very clingy and [...]
Braces update
Monday morning I had my first appointment since having the braces put on five weeks ago. I have to be honest, I have no idea what exactly they did. I know that it involved taking off the rubber bands on most of the front teeth and instead using long, thin wires wrapped around [...]
Monday Blues
I don’t feel like I got a weekend so I’m already exhausted and can’t fathom that it’s only Monday. Brad left early yesterday morning for a business trip that has him away until Thursday midnightish. One day with help with twin toddlers just isn’t enough.
Today I went on two outings (the [...]
Can you dig it?
Children come into this world ready to dance and sing. They have no idea to be self conscious or in tune until they get old enough to understand ridicule. Too bad we don’t have a world where that never happens. I was amazed at how early Logan started humming. Before he [...]
How Old Am I?
It seems like children are the only way that I can judge time sometimes. When I realize that the boys are a year and a half old. That Avery is 4 and a half. That my younger brother is turning 30 this year. That he has a teenage daughter. I [...]
Braces, week 3
On week three of having braces I find myself again with sores inside of my mouth. Out comes the dental wax to be smooshed around the offending brackets and wires. Orabase becomes my daily companion so that I can make it through the night and eat like normal. I had thought that [...]
Next Door
We have a really great living situation. We rent a duplex that is next door to the duplex that our good friends live in. It’s in a cul de sac so the boys run between both duplexes and seem to think both yards are theirs. The house is small, which I really [...]
Random
What did Brad and I do on a Saturday afternoon with no toddlers to entertain? We made a playlist of Industrial and Goth music from the late ’80s - early ’90s and jumped around the living room with The Bog by Bigod 20 and Headhunter by Front242 blasting so loud that our cats went [...]
The Ties that Bind
I can not tell a lie, I am glad to have weekends without the boys. I remember when my friend Wendy’s ex-husband started taking their daughter for weekends and how she felt so blessed to have those breaks. I totally get it. After two weeks of travel and family while Brad was [...]
