Bittersweet

Yesterday, Littlest graduated from the early intervention program with the school district.   She has caught up with other “normal” kids.  In fact, in some areas, she’s doing a bit better than the norm.   It will be sad to no longer see the people who would come over to play with her, but it’s a huge [...]

I did not go to bed in my own bed and wake up hours later in Bug’s bed. I’m fully coherent and conscious, I definitely know how I got there. I certainly have never done anything like that before!
I did not secretly wonder if I really did have a brain tumor because of the weird [...]

Whenever Bug wants a hug, she says “big hug” and holds her arms out wide. She does this a lot. I’ve been saying “big hug?” to Littlest, but she hasn’t really embraced it. Until a couple weeks ago. I was laying down in bed with her trying to get [...]

Soooo, how’s it goin’? Good, good. Us? Oh we’ve been SICK! Oh so very sick. Daddy was lucky and didn’t get the rest of had. According to the advice nurse, Littlest more than likely had H1N1 and the rest of us had the same symptoms, so [...]

Bug is doing much better at not having a binkie for naptime at daycare.   For some reason, all the binkies that have gone missing have suddenly started showing up in coats, pants, and under things.   It’s not just Bug’s clothes, it’s mine, Daddy’s and even Littlest!   It’s weird.  
I think the return of the binkies triggered [...]

I felt really sad for Bug yesterday.   She was in her new room at daycare for pretty much all day.   It’s a “big kids” room and therefore, no binkies.  We knew this day was coming and they prepare the kids in her previous room by making them put their binkie’s in a drawer during the [...]

I did not cry this morning because I didn’t want to go to work.  I felt great and was ready to tackle my day.   My cold is better, no reason to stay home.    I definitely did not take my chai tea cup out of the garbage and drink the last tiny bit.   No way would [...]

Time and time again, I’ve realized that when I named this blog, it was very fitting. Yesterday was another bittersweet moment.
After stamp camp with Bug (another post with pictures I hope), Bug, Littlest, and I traveled to Salem to visit their Great Grandma and Grandma K.  Great Grandma is 93-years-old and has been fairly healthy [...]

This cold has hit me hard. Usually after a couple days I feel like I can rejoin the living and move on. This morning I spent 10 minutes trying to figure out if I really even wanted to get out of bed and that was after oversleeping an hour. It [...]

We watched a movie last night that wasn’t “Pongo’s Puppies!” (101 Dalmatians). Well, we watched Pongo’s Puppies first and then we watched…..BOLT! Minus the scary parts. I admit it, I used the TV as a babysitter since Daddy wasn’t home. I’m still battling a cold and I had no [...]
