You all remember the little train that could, right? I’m not sure where the story began, but I remember that clip from dumbo… [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt6F7YJYowM&hl=en_US&fs=1&color1=0x006699&color2=0x54abd6] I’m not sure if I should say I feel like that train or what, but I feel like I’m about to attempt something I’m not sure I can do. Last week […]

I just found this post that I wrote on my birthday (February 16th) and apparently never published. Well, I want to share it now. It looks like I never quite finished it which is probably why I never published it. Oh well! It’s my birthday today. This year’s birthday feels so much different from previous […]

I was mall-walking with a friend of mine who is navigating the choppy waters of working mom/partially working at home mom and she said to me “I feel like I’m failing at everything. I’m failing as a mother, as a wife and as a kung-fu instructor.” [Job title changed to help my friend remain anonymous. […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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. […]

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 […]

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 […]

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 […]
