Today was one of the best days that I’ve had in a very long time. We decided to skip church this morning since we had so much we wanted to get done around the house. Robert started off our day with making waffles. I had one with 2 strips of bacon. I decided that I’d […]
I love the bedtime routine with Laura. I get her tucked into bed. Then together we do the Lord’s Prayer. Following that is blessings. I just let her take the lead there. It always starts out, “Mommy, and Daddy, Warren, and me. Grandma, Papa, Grandma Joni, Grandma Kathy, Grandpa John.” From there, different people get […]
Book return is done at work. 46 hours in this week. The paycheck will be nice. :) This week I am working only one day (Monday). Wednesday morning we take off to go visit Mom & Dad. Laura will probably spend a lot of time with Kyla, the neighbor girl. I’m glad that there is […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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). […]
So things with Laura have settled down finally. We never did make it in to the doctor on Wednesday. She woke up completely fever free. I decided that since she was feeling fine, I would go to work and she’d go to daycare. Around 11, Helen emailed me that Laura was starting to run a […]
All month long both kids have been fighting ear infections and junk. Most recently, Laura’s have started to act up. I thought at first that she was just saying her ears hurt because Warren has been getting so much attention for his. When he is teething, she will say her teeth hurt too. I have […]
I was more productive today at home than I have been in the last few weeks. I finally got tired of the house looking as bad as it was. I loved having it clean and picked up all the time. It took effort to maintain, but not nearly as much to do the full clean […]
