This morning I took two kids to the doctor with me so I could get a physical.  It was an adventure!  It was the first normal, healthy, no babies, regular doctor (not an OB) physical I’ve had in I don’t know how long.  The doctor (someone I’d never seen before) seemed a little […]

When my mother found out Maggie and I were going to be at our “family reunion” in DC, she said she wanted to pay to bring Degen and Colin.  So she bought them tickets and we’re all going to Washington, DC, for the graduation.  Yay!
The catch is that Colin can’t come as early as I […]

I took the kids to see a local pediatrician this morning.  It took me a long time to choose one and make an appointment, partly because I kept hoping I’d get someone to recommend a good one to me who takes our insurance.  People have recommended a couple of good ones, but they don’t take […]

It’s been a crazy week.  I won’t go into all the details, but suffice it to say that we’ve felt more motivated than ever to look for a new job for Colin.  He was up late the last couple of nights filling out applications, and has plans to do the same tonight.  Today I filled […]

This morning the kids and I went to the Grand Opening of a Savers store in our area on our way home from dropping Colin off at work.  I’d been to other Savers stores and think they’re great as far as thrift stores go, and I thought I’d check it out–plus there was a sign […]

It’s raining again…Sometime it’s going to get sunny on a day I can take the car and we’re going to the park!  We’re all starting to get cabin fever.  The kids are sick of their toys and movies and books and are resorting to…making up games!
This morning Degen and I played a real game of […]

Maggie was being very quiet a few minutes ago, so I quickly hunted her down to make sure she was okay and not getting into trouble. I found her underneath the kitchen table with a non-functioning pen, talking to herself about coloring. When she saw me, she immediately demanded a “huck” (hug), then […]
