November

I’m not sure where to even start anymore.  I feel like I’m not living life, more like I’m going through the motions.  I’m trying to make a huge effort to engage with the kids and have open conversations.  I am my harshest critic and I feel like I’m failing.  Yet I look back at this […]

Great Day

Today has been a great day.  I was able to wake up this morning on my own, meaning no alarm clock.  When I came upstairs, the kids were both up and happy.  I got them each what they wanted for breakfast.  Warren made my coffee for me.  We sat together and watched cartoons for a […]

Tonight’s Gonna be a Good Night

I have a high school classmate that has a 2 year old son.  He has an undiagnosed condition that lands him in the hospital quite frequently.  I follow what she posts as a way to lend support from afar.  I can’t imagine all that she is going through, physically and mentally.  She also has two […]

Taught by Children

It is amazing what children can teach us.  No matter how bad of a day I have, the kids are so excited to see me the next morning.  Heck, even after nap time they are excited to see me again.  Sleep to them seems to be a reset button.  Whatever went wrong before is erased, […]

On turning 2

I’ve had a hard time with Warren turning 2.  I never had issues with Laura turning 2.  I was fine with him turning 1.  For some reason, 2 is hard.  I think it’s because he is no longer my baby.  He is my baby, and now I no longer have a baby.  I was afraid […]

What was I thinking??

There are times that I look at my kids and ask myself, “What was I thinking?  Why did I have them so close together?  Why didn’t I let Laura be the only child for a while longer?”  Then I have days like today and I don’t question at all.  I know it is right.  I […]

Happy Mother’s Day!

Today is about celebrating mothers.  Whether it be married, single, or deceased, we celebrate our moms.  I would even include the single fathers out there since they do the role of both mom and dad.  I know everyone out there says that they have the best mom.  Well, I am among those people.  I truly […]

What’s on my mind?

I feel like I should post.  About what?  I don’t know yet.  I have today off.  I am hoping to get a lot more work done in the basement.  I think my best bet will be during nap time.  I promised Laura that we’d go to the park today, so I think that’ll happen this […]

Sick Girl

I have a sick baby girl.  Yes, I still call her my baby girl.  She woke up at 5:30 this morning and had puked.  She’s been sick off and on all morning.  :(  She was laying on the floor at 11.  By 11:15 I had in bed ready for a nap.  It was been a […]

Rough Day

It was a bit of a rough day today.  Warren had his 15 month appointment this morning.  His stats are:  25 pounds, 30.75″ long, 47.8 cm head circumference.  On top of his regular vaccine, we all did the flu shot today.  Thankfully Robert was with to help out.  Laura got over it pretty quick this […]
