Further Confessions
I’ve been laughing at myself a lot these past six months. I think my mother has been laughing at me as well.
I had a lot of convictions about how I was going to raise my kids - before I became a parent. I read up on the APA website and their […]
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 […]
Father’s Day 2008
I was fortunate enough this year to have the boys all weekend for Father’s Day weekend. We spent the entire time having fun together, which included playing with lots of toys, wrestling, going outside, watching Saturday-morning cartoons, playing in the water sprinkler, playing Mario Kart Wii (the boys LOVE the WiiWheel), learning and practicing new […]
Sleep Disruption
I think that another reason this week feels tougher is because I’m on my sixth day of not getting a full night’s sleep. For two days Logan was getting too hot at night and waking up at around 11:30 for an hour, so I bought them cooler sleep sacks. Then for two days […]
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 […]
The Interpreter
I spend a lot of time deciphering screams. Are the boys fighting over space/a toy and going to figure it out on their own? Or did Logan just bite Forest to get what he wants? Is that just frustration or is Forest seriously hurt? Is Logan just being clingy or did […]
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 […]
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 […]
Happy Mother’s Day
I love quotes. So for Mother’s Day I share with you some special ones that I gathered a few years ago.
Youth fades; love droops; the leaves of friendship fall;
A mother’s secret hope outlives them all.
- Oliver Wendell Holmes, American man of letters
There is in all this cold and hollow world
No fount of deep, strong, […]
Crayons, the new Tequila
You know that you’ve crossed over into parenthood with no chance of going back when you use your shot glasses to hold crayons.
