I know I haven’t been posting much this last week, and what I did post was boring. Our family caught the same cold bug that everyone else had, with fever and something called RSV on top of it. Now both children have inhalers. Also, Trent was out of town for 4 days. Also, I had […]
This Christmas, my dear Auntie C gave us some little gifts (even though we technically weren’t supposed to exchange, but she got out on a technicality–she planned and bought before the rule was made– and the fact that she’s the oldest sib!). In the box, which was labeled from Santa, I found things that only […]
So, I got a new camera for Cmas. It is small and pink and just for me. When I am home, I am mean and don’t let Carson use it. He got his own digital camera last Christmas, and I direct him to use that. WELL, when I uploaded some pictures this morning, looking for […]
We had quite a crazy situation last night. Carson’s been sick for the past few days with a bad cold. Heavy cough, stuffy nose & fever. I know we have a cheap humidifier, but when we moved in it got put in the attic, so I haven’t used it for a long time. I asked […]
I was getting tired of the maroon, so I switched up the look on the ol‘ blog. Please be patient, as I don’t have time in one sitting to update all my links and whatnot. * A new thing this last week was that Sydney got to sit in the big bath with Carson. They […]
OK, so it is no secret that I am not an animal-lover. For the record, I would like to remind everyone, I am NOT AN ANIMAL HATER! I despise seeing animals hurt or abused in any way. I enjoy an occasional trip to the zoo. It’s just that I do not have any desire to […]
Typical morning. Carson gets too silly around Sydney when she’s trying to “eat” and stops to look at him, causing me to get annoyed. Carson: Mom, why isn’t Sydney eating?Me: Because she thinks you’re so exciting.Carson: Well? I AM so exciting!* In the car after church on Sunday…Daddy: Carson, tell us about your story in […]
We have a small house. It is great, and I love it. The way to get to the garage, where we park, is to go through a small laundry room. Well, my dear husband irons his own shirts, which is also great. But he usually leaves the ironing board up when he goes to work, […]
Have you ever had one of those days when you don’t exactly go the extra mile in getting yourself presentable? You know, you don’t bother blow-drying your wrinkly, frizzy hair; you just put on enough make-up to get by; realize your “good” jeans are dirty, so you wear a not-as-cute pair? You think to yourself: […]
***warning: LOTS of pictures in this long post*** A couple years ago, I heard a Newlywed Game question: “Which of your husband’s relationships would need a deeper analysis by a psychologist: his relationship with his mother or his male friends?” This was a no-brainer for me. While Trent loves his mom, he has a serious, […]
