If you’re new here, you may want to subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!Alphabet refrigerator magnets are great. My kids play with them all day. Right now Maggie has a handful and is standing in front of a bookshelf arranging the letters on the shelf at eye-level, in front of and underneath [...]

Hi everyone. I’m sick. I have a nasty cold that came on fast after I started getting that cold sore. Yesterday I could hardly move, had a runny nose, sneezing, sore throat, fever, alternating chills and hot flashes (is that what they’re called when you get hot when you have a fever?), [...]

Maggie has her hair in pigtails! She’s had her pigtails in all morning! This is a big deal. I found some smallish ponytail holders in my stash under the sink that I only use for putting my hair half-up since they’re too small for anything more. I distracted her long enough to put her hair [...]

I’ve passed into the I-can-barely-get-my-regular-jeans-zipped stage of pregnancy where I really don’t fit into regular clothes, but it seems a little silly to wear maternity clothes. A couple of weeks ago I busted out my box of maternity clothes from previous pregnancies and discovered that there was less there than I’d remembered, and what was [...]

Do you think that pro basketball players have a hard time navigating stairs? The tall ones have such long feet that it seems like their feet wouldn’t fit on the steps and they’d lose their balance. Random question, I know, but lately I’ve had a lot more time than usual going up and down the [...]

Maggie’s hair is getting longer, and the bangs are no exception. Her hair hangs in her eyes, and recently more notably, to her nose. I’ve tried ponytails occassionally, and although she likes to show us all how pretty they are, she pulls them out in a minute flat no matter where on her head I [...]

Family Home Evening will have to happen another night. After dinner, Maggie was so tired and sick I just took her straight to bed (after a brief visit to the bathroom for a wipe-down), and Degen only stayed up a few minutes longer. Maggie has been throwing tantrums at the least provocation for a couple [...]

After all my fun Nursery lesson preparations (which I didn’t mention here), Degen and I joined Maggie in the fun of being sick. Now we’ve got three of us sick, and maybe Colin following. So far my symptoms are mild, with achy muscles, headache, and post-nasal drip topping the list. Degen and Maggie both have [...]
Maggie has a runny nose and a low fever today, darn it. The poor kid has been wandering around sniffling and breathing through her mouth all day and it’s pathetic.
I spent my day picking up, doing laundry, feeding myself and the kids, and finishing reading my two library books. I read Simplify Your Christmas by [...]
Degen is a cat this morning. He’s crawling around meowing to his heart’s content, except when he wants something and he suddenly and temporarily knows English. He only likes milk this morning, no water. He wants me to pat him on the head and let him curl up on my lap. I love having a [...]
