More than a Museum

Here’s a “well, duhhhh” for you. When you have kids, it’s like a whole new world is opened to you. I always planned to go to the zoo and aquarium more when I had kids to share them with. Yet, there are so many more things out there that I was somewhat aware of, but […]

Did I Say “˜You Have the Controls?’

in Daily Ramblings

In a momentary lapse of reason, I let my mind wonder a bit (what’s left of it after two kids, a job, and 6 hours of sleep a day) and think back to the days when I hand it together. You know, when you knew who you were, where you were going, what you were […]

The Little Things

Ok, so I’ve been working to stay a step ahead of this childproofing thing. It’s been a whille since I’ve had to do much. Basically, I put the little plastic thingies in all the plugs, put up a baby gate to our kitchen, and put little latches on the drawers under the sinks where the […]

Milestones and Madness

As I write my little guy is rolling over from his back to his tummy then doing some tummy crunches in preparation for future crawling (though it looks like he’s humping the floor), my daughter is running around the house naked as she shrieks in delight (though it’s our hope she might feel the urge […]

Oh Sweet Sleep, How I Miss Thee

Who are you again? For that matter, who am I? It’s hard to tell with two hours of sleep. Our little man decided that yet again, sleep was for the weak and he was one big, strong dude, but he needed company in his self appreciation of his studliness. My hubby didn’t make it to […]

New Schedule

This week I started my new work schedule, which was like the third new work schedule in the past two years, but who’s counting. I’ve been really blessed to have a job that works with me being a mom. As long as I do my job, which does entail a certain amount of 24/7 on-call […]

Special Effects and Old Friends

Broke away from the chaos for a couple of hours yesterday to see Avatar in 3D. I haven’t been paying attention to the reviews, only hearing that it was good. I didn’t want anything to spoil it for me. I like seeing what they’re able to pull off with special effects technology these days. I […]

Happy New Year

As I enjoy a morning cup of tea this first day of a New Year and decade, I can’t help but reflect on the past 10 years. This time last decade I was in a different state, in a different marriage, and a completely miserable state of mind. It’s amazing what life puts you through […]
