One of the big things emphasized while I was going to school for my education degree was reflection. I have found myself doing that a lot with my parenting. I keep coming up with things that I would like to try differently with Laura, or do differently with Warren, or things that I feel I […]
First the milestone. Warren has his first tooth! It finally broke through on Tuesday, March 2. I think there is a second one close behind the way he is still chomping on his Nuk and drooling. I feel like I’ve crested the top of a roller coaster and am now screaming at top speed down […]
I feel like I should post, but I am not sure what to write about at this point. I am getting so tired and frustrated with things but at the same time things are going well. Warren still isn’t sleeping through the night. He is starting to consistently get up at 12:30 or so to […]
As I start to write this, it is 10 to 11 in the morning. Warren decided to have an early start to his day. Robert was up with him for an hour, then I sat up with him for a bit. He fell back asleep shortly after 5. I went back to bed and the […]
Laura slept until past 8 this morning. I knew that something was up. She only sleeps that late when she is sick. She woke up with a fever of 101… and orange gunk draining out of her ear (and yes, gunk is a very technical term). I knew immediately that she had an ear infection. […]
I am so ready for our house to be healthy again. Laura went to bed tonight with a slight fever. I hope it isn’t anything major. The poor girl should get a break soon. I am starting to get over my cold. Warren seems to be improving, but he still coughs and has a runny […]
I am pissed/furious/angry, you name it, I feel it right now. I feel like I don’t have anything sacred in this house. I can’t have anything without the cats getting into it or breaking it. This morning Peaches was up on the shelf that is above my dresser. My tassel from high school graduation is […]
I have 4 more days of work, and then I am done for a while again. I am starting to get regular headaches that are just awful. I don’t know what is causing them, but they really need to go away. I am trying to figure out what it says about me that I can […]
Today is my day off this week. I am keeping it low key today. Warren did really well last night. We added rice cereal to his last bottle before bed. He woke up a few times, but putting his Nuk back in was all he needed. We woke up for the day around 5:50. Still […]
I’s been a while since I’ve actually done an update, so I figured it was time to do one. Things around the house are going ok. Laura must be in a growth spurt. For lunch she ate a large floret of broccoli without anything on it (cheese or salt). She actually ate it before her […]
