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, […]
I feel like my sanity is creeping closer and closer to the edge. Pretty soon it is just going to take a flying leap and leave me here wondering how I will keep going. It turns out that Laura did indeed have pertussis. 5 days of antibiotics and quarantine were all that were needed. We […]
I feel like I am just barely staying afloat right now. Work is starting to get very busy/stressful. Today I dealt with a very difficult student. In fact, I was shaking after I was finished with him. In addition to this, I have a lot of professors that are turning late orders, so now I […]
We’ve had a full weekend. Laura’s been fighting a low grade fever for a couple of days. There have been 5 confirmed cases of strep at daycare. Saturday morning she woke up with a sore throat. I didn’t want to mess around and wait so I took her in to the doctor. Her 9:30 appointment […]
Tonight was not one of my better nights with the kids. I feel like all I did was yell at them. Thankfully tomorrow is a new day, their memories are short, and they are some of the most forgiving people I have in my life.
I find myself already saying “Remember when things were easy like….”. Laura is only 4 1/2! I shouldn’t be saying that already! I know that I’ll say it even more as she gets older. As a result, I want to chronicle the simple things today that brought so much joy. The day started great. Laura […]
I am home from work today with a sick boy. He was coughing a lot last night, and it didn’t sound real good so we made the decision to keep him home. I’m also enjoying just one-on-one time with him. I know he is feeling rough because he fell asleep in my arms this morning […]
I can’t believe that the last post I made was in November. I know that it had been a while, but I didn’t think it had been that long! Thanksgiving was enjoyable. Christmas was nice too. New Year’s was spent at Mom and Dad’s again for the family Christmas. We made the trek to Iowa […]
Warren got his first haircut yesterday. It only took over 2 years for him to have enough hair for us to do this. He really wasn’t sure about sitting in the chair. We started out with a booster seat. This was short lived. He moved onto Daddy’s lap. Even on Daddy’s lap, the haircut was […]
Laura has done much better since last weekend and getting out of the hospital. She has bounced back with no problems since. I went out for Chinese for lunch on Wednesday. I was home sick on Thursday. I’m blaming the food since by 4 pm I was feeling 99% better. Thursday night at the dinner […]
