A Child’s Attitude

I was thinking yesterday morning about how great Laura’s attitude with life is.  She wakes up happy most mornings.  If she isn’t happy right away, she either needs time to wake up yet or is sick.  Like I said in my previous entry, she has a memory of an elephant.  However, she seems to remember […]

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 […]

Progress

Progress has been made on the basement.  As soon as I box up the clothes I am keeping, photo/log the clothes that are being donated, I can say that the south half of the basement is organized and just about cleaned out.  We will still have the bed in there for a bit.  We have […]

Do I love my job?

I’ve been reading/watching Nicholas Sparks on Twitter.  One thing he mentioned was that he is frequently asked if he loves writing.  Surprisingly, he said no.  He said it was one of the most challenging things he has done.  I’m sure he likes it or he wouldn’t have 16 published novels by now.  This got me […]

Great Weekend

I’d say that this was a great weekend.  I worked all day on Friday.  That night I went out with Pauline, Tashia, Tracey, Starr, and Barb (all from church) to celebrate Tashia getting her RN license.  Yippee!  We went to Las Margaritas in Woodbury.  Our dinner started out rocky with a long wait for a […]

Tough Conversations

Tonight was the start of the tough conversations with Laura.  Robert and I have decided that Laura will learn the word vulva for her girl parts.  This is the term for the entire area.  Well, apparently she has been paying attention to us.  While driving around this morning she proudly announced to me that she […]

Still kickin’

I’m still kickin’.  Some days are better than others for me.  This past week has been a blur.  Thursday morning we stopped at the chiropractor to get both kids adjusted.  It seems to be making a difference for both of them.  After the adjustments we were on the road to Milwaukee with a stop in […]

What day is it?

I feel like I am asking myself “What day is it?” constantly this weekend.  Yesterday wasn’t quite a typical Saturday, but it wasn’t bad.  I would have liked to have taken a nap at one point, but that didn’t happen.  Today I feel so messed up.  Robert is working.  We didn’t go to church or […]

18 Month Appointment

We took Warren to his 18 month appointment on Tuesday the 8th.  He weighs 26 pounds (50%), is 32″ long (36%), and has a head circumference of 48.7cm (73.5%).  So far he has been in the 50 or lower percentile for his length/height.  It wouldn’t surprise me if he ends up being tall later in […]

Neglected

I didn’t mean to leave this neglected so long.  I was home Thursday with both kids.  I made it a day to just sit and relax as much as I could while still taking care of two small children.  I worked on Friday while Robert stayed home with the kids (he took a furlough day).  […]
