Quiet Time

Parenting is like a juggling act. You keep all the balls up in the air, and if some drop you hope nobody notices.

Dentist Freak Out

This morning was Laura’s dentist appointment.  I had hoped she’d go back on her own, but that wasn’t going to happen.  It took a bit to even get her to sit in the chair.  As soon as the chair moved up, she started freaking out.  It only went down hill.  We didn’t get her teeth […]

June

I have found myself thinking each Monday that it is a new week and things will go differently.  By Friday, I am a mess yet again.  It is just the cycle I am in I guess.  This past weekend went way too quickly.  Saturday I ran away to Mandy’s for our monthly scrapbooking day.  We […]

3 Days Down

I have made it three days.  Yesterday/evening wasn’t bad.  I didn’t feel like cooking, so Laura had chicken nuggets and I had chicken patty sandwich.  Last night got to be a true challenge and test for me.  Warren was up 3 times.  The first was from 11-11;50, then 1-1:40, then 3-5 this morning.  By 4am […]

Where Does the Time Go?

Today is my 4th Mother’s Day.  I count my first as when I was pregnant with Laura.  If she would have come then, she would have had a great chance of survival.  It never ceases to amaze me how fast time seems to go where the kids are involved.  I have a hard time believing […]

Rock the Box Office

This week is going great so far.  The kids have been great in the box office.  Monday and Tuesday Laura took a nap as soon as we got home.  She also didn’t sleep very long, so she was in bed around her normal time.  What’s even better is that she is sleeping past 7am!  Tonight […]

Pondering

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 […]

Working Woman and other stuff

I am working once again this week and next.  I am back at Textbook Services for 8 days.  Monday wasn’t bad because we were so busy I didn’t have time to even think.  Tuesday was in spurts, so it was a lot of start and stop.  I have no clue what today (Wednesday) will be […]

Another year almost gone…

I haven’t meant to be so quiet lately.  I have been in a bit of a funk, plus with the craziness of Christmas, I haven’t had much time to post like I want to.  Our Christmas went well.  Laura has loved every present.  I think her favorite is her Dora, Diego, and Baby Jaguar dolls.  […]

A blessing and a curse

I love spending time at Mom and Dad’s. I love that Laura and Warren will have a great relationship with them. I love that it gets me out of the area for a few days so I don’t go stir crazy. However, I don’t love the adjustment when we get back. It is nice when […]
