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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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’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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
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 […]
