Bittersweet

I miss blogging…a lot. So much has happened since November. The girls have grown and are doing too many cute things to list, words, sentences, teeth, naughtiness, stitches, the works. I just may have to start again. Facebook just doesn’t always do it for me, although I have reconnected with people and family, so that [...]

I think it’s time for me to take a little bit of a break from blogging.   It’s not that I don’t enjoy it…I really do.    The thing is that we have limited internet connectivity and as always, life is throwing stones at us again and there is no time.   Throw in a little bit of [...]

Life certainly has been interesting lately.   It’s a good thing I have a sense of humor or this could be a huge pain in the… I found out from Daddy that  his friend Trouble actually moved to town and it wasn’t going to be a short visit.   I swore when I heard it.   Maybe things [...]

That was the topic of the day yesterday.  Bug is getting more independent and if you ask her to do something or remind her of the rules, she says “NO” and if you remind her of the rule, a tantrum isn’t too far behind.  Yesterday was not particularly outstanding in this respect, but in the [...]

Littlest continues to amaze me.   Like I’ve said before, I’m pretty laid back when it comes to my expectations of the girls as far as learning goes.   They are smart cookies, so I figure they will reach milestones in their own time.   I have to say, though, I was beginning to wonder if Littlest would [...]

I didn’t expect to see someone on our couch this morning. I’m not too surprised I guess, although it’s never happened before. Daddy’s friend from out of state came to visit his family and called Daddy yesterday afternoon to get together. As far as I know, Daddy has seen his friend only once in the [...]

November is Prematurity Awareness Month and today is the Fight for Preemies.    Click on the badge above to learn more. Without the March of Dimes and their continuing efforts to fight prematurity, our Littlest wouldn’t be the wonderfully, stubborn, healthy little girl she is now.   Even the efforts to save our Sweet Baby Boy wouldn’t have [...]

I was browsing through the pictures on my computer, trying to find the one I wanted to attach to an email.   I came across some that gave me instant, massive anxiety.   These are the pictures of the house when we first purchased it over four horrible years ago.   What a nightmare.   We tried though.  [...]

When Daddy picked up Bug from daycare one day last week, the teacher was all excited about Bug’s work.   They were learning about body parts.   Each child had an outline of their body on a large piece of paper.   Each day they talked about a different body part.   The teacher was excited because Bug, at [...]

If you were in Toys R’ Us yesterday, I’m sure that’s what you were thinking. Nope, it was just two parents trying to take their tired, hungry, cranky children out to the car. I certainly didn’t win any parenting awards this weekend, not even a wife of the second award. It was just an all around [...]
