Daddy is losing his room, one corner at a time!

A few short months ago, you would have seen some of the following things in our second bedroom... Now, my intention is showing you these items is not to belittle the father of my child's taste in decor. But simply to show how times are a changin'!   In the last 2 months, we have gotten Baby O's crib, her bedding, and settled on a paint color. And last night, he put the glider together, so that will replace some masculine item in the room. Slowly, the "mancave" is … Read more

Bedrest= discovering a new show

Don't panic..this "bedrest" is self-imposed. Today I had a lot of time on my hands. Ever since I got home from school yesterday, I have not felt good. Granted, I did a flash mob dance (you'll see our staff on Youtube someday, I'm sure:o), had 2 class parties, and stupidly lifted an uncooperative child off the floor. But still, I started feeling those old cramps that I felt months ago. I started to worry, had no appetite, and was in a terrible mood. This morning, … Read more

From our house to yours...

This was our Christmas card this year, made at Shutterfly for about $15. I am so happy with it! Now for the funny story of my day. This morning, I saw that I had a voicemail. It was from late last night, and luckily I had the phone silenced (or I would not have recorded proof of this amazing phone call).It had made me laugh about 11 times today, and his good mood is kind of contagious! Wonder what he will think when he realizes he had the wrong number. By the way, it was a 270 area cod… Read more

Ode to the perfect skivvies

For years, I have been devoted to Victoria's secret cotton lowrise bikinis. They are always 5 for $25, I can load up on them during the Semi-annual sale (coming up in January!), and they last for years. Well, imagine my horror when I went to replace some (casualties caused by Sebastian), and they stopped producing them . I aimlessly walked around, wondering if I needed hot pink Santa lingerie (no) or a rhinestone bra (not really). The table of the brightly colored lace panties caugh… Read more

It's good to set goals, right?

OK, after a LONG day of being in a meeting instead of with my kids (I missed them even though they have been bonkers this week!), I needed to make a list. Because that is what neurotic people do to calm down, energize...center myself...whatever you may call it. My list today is about goals I have before Baby O's due date... 1. Get Eagle declawed. He is ridiculous. 2. Read at least two books. I have been too tired to read, but I miss it! 3. Eat better! I need to add at least one f… Read more

Images that make me happy

It's starting to get a little stressful around here. "Around here" meaning anywhere that I happen to be, I guess. School, the roads, home, pretty much everywhere is starting to get that "I am being pulled in all directions and something has to give" feeling. So, tonight, after almost LOSING it when the cat clawed Bastian's ear and actually caused a blood-splatter pattern all over the carpet, sheets, curtains, and mattress of the bedroom, I took 3 minutes to… Read more
