You know, it has once again been “one of those days.” It started out well. I was in a groove, getting work done, feeling good, when Tim and Jack came home. Immediately life was disrupted and it hasn’t really calmed down. Oh sure, we weren’t busy all day, but I never got back to work. […]
reluctant update with a fun ending (at l...
Sigh. Once again it has been a long time since I have written. Whenever more than a week goes by, I feel like I need to write this huge update and I don’t like writing updates. They’re so boring to me. Not creative enough. But I want to catch you up on me and explain […]
back off people!
Can I vent? Ok, I will… I am so tired of people asking me if Jack is walking. I am also tired of people asking me if Jack is crawling. I am even more tired of people telling me, “it’s ok, he will.” Yeah, I know. The fact that Jack isn’t very mobile doesn’t usually […]
Self-Knowledge & Self-Care
Do you ever feel like you’re still figuring yourself out? I am always surprised when I have to relearn fast facts about me. For example, I’m an introvert. I love people. I love being with people and talking to people, but people also wear me out. Today I hosted the mom’s group from my church. […]
My Own Pace
I have begun to wonder when will be the next time Tim and I try to get pregnant again. Well, last time we didn’t exactly try… but we didn’t try to not try. Make sense? 😉 Anyways, there are many factors to consider.1) Tim will be in school for at least another year.2) Jack isn’t […]
When do YOU shower?
Today Jack and I got up at 8:30 am (I know, right? Wonderful!) and sat around watching Sesame Street until we went to the mall for some exercise. Ok, I admit mall walking is hardly an intense workout, but I need to do something and it is the only thing I have been able to […]
The Truth About Coffee, Chocolate, and C...
In the last year, as my love for Jack has deepened, I have also grown in compassion for other children. While poverty made me sad before, it now breaks my heart. The suffering millions are experiencing in Haiti right now is overwhelming, but the pain I feel for the parents who lost their children and […]
Wordless Wednesday
The Not So Toothless Grin
That’s right, Jack has four teeth! Two on top, two on bottom. Up until recently you still couldn’t see the teeth when he smiled, but those pearly whites are becoming more visible every day. I knew the day would come when my blog name would no longer be relevant, but I’m not changing it! I […]
Playing House
Going home for Christmas was great. We relaxed, spent time with family, and everyone else took care of Jack! This was probably the best vacation we have had since Jack was born simply because he is so much more independent and I am no longer nursing him. I mean we were able to give him […]
