About 100 duplo blocks
The duplo container

A blanket

Okay, I need a plan to recover from my grumpy awakening and here it is:
1. I’m going to go eat something. I’m thinking a bowl of raisin bran will do the trick for now.
2. Say my prayers and read something in the scriptures.
Since writing the above, I decided it would be silly to even try [...]

Colin and I are both grumpy this morning. He woke up with a headache and I woke up mildly nauseous for the 10th day in a row or something (no, I’m not pregnant unless the tests lie). There are piles of clean, unfolded laundry sitting on the floor around the house and the kids dumped all [...]
Yesterday was my birthday and I really had a great day. My family called and sang Happy Birthday to me on speakerphone in the morning, an indispensable part of any truly good birthday. Colin spent most of the day up north helping with the cleanup of the tornado disaster that happened a couple of weeks ago, [...]

This morning I woke up feeling really good and happy and ready to get to work. I’m sorry to say that waking up that way has been the exception for me for a few weeks. It’s been harder than usual lately for me to get out of bed energetically, to be cheerful for any stretch of [...]

I have mommy shirt. At least in public most people wear clean clothes, and I’ve even seen mothers of young children wearing clean clothing, though I don’t understand how they achieve such an accomplishment. I admit that even before I became a mother I was a little klutzy and occassionally wore stained shirts or got [...]
This morning Degen woke me up, standing at the side of my bed, saying “Mommy!” Then he threw up. On my bed. At 5am. Oh boy.
So, Colin got up with me and cleaned up the bed and floor while I cleaned Degen up. As I walked him into the bathroom for a bath, he said [...]
I am so pleased with myself, and for a reason that will seem silly and mundane to a few of you. This is my fourth day in a row of having a clean kitchen! ALL of my dishes are done (including the pans) and I've unloaded the dishwasher already and loaded the breakfast dishes. The counters [...]
I've been in Dallas, Texas, for the last few days on our Thanksgiving vacation. Our friends, Ashley and Justin, invited us to stay with them and celebrate Thanksgiving with them this year and we happily took them up on their offer. My sister Phoebe and her husband John live nearby and were invited to join [...]
