Updates
OH, man. Lots of stuff going on around here. This week we have been hanging out with my aunt, uncle & cuz visiting from Southern Cal. They are so fun we drop everything to spend as much time as we can with them! On Thursday we went for a hike at Silver Falls. About 2 […]

Name them one by one.
Remember that old song? “Count your blessings, name them one by one. Count your blessings, see what God has done”? I’m doing that tonight. I’m HAVING to do that tonight. Today was just a lousy day. Carson and I had several knock-down-drag-out arguments. OK, no one literally got knocked down, but he literally got dragged […]

Chitchat today.
Coversation (or lack thereof) at the dinner table.“Mom?”“Hmmm?”“Um….mom?”“Yes?”[chew, chew] “Uh…um….mom….I, uh………………….Mom?”“What, bud?”“OK, I’m going to start over.”“Okay, go ahead.” 🙂 *** I was subbing today. This is a direct quote from a 3rd grader’s persuasive speech on why you should not smoke:“…and when you litter your cigarette out the window, you are killing polar bears.” […]

“Give me an occupation, Miss Dashwood, or I shall run mad.”
That’s one of my favorite lines in one of my favorite movies, Sense & Sensibility. The woman that he loves is gravely ill, and most likely going to die. Colonel Brandon is waiting, like the rest of the house, for some news or some change, and the helplessness is killing him. Not only does he […]

A new kind of embarassment.
Confession time. The other day the kids and I were walking in a public place and I decided it would be a perfectly acceptable time to, well, I’m just going to say it: to pass a little–a LITTLE–gas. Victimless crime, no?Enter: LoudMouth ThreeYearOld. “MOM, you SMELL DIRTY!” Huge fake smile, grab his arm and walk […]

Reality doesn’t always bite. (opinion piece)
I always bristle at the term “reality television.” For some reason, that phrase reminds me of the non-scripted shows that I DON’T like (such as any dating “contest”). By nature, I am a fan of well-written comedies or dramas, with good acting and clever dialogue. By reputation, I like to cling to snobby literary choices. […]

Simply adore.
This little lady has no shortage of adoring male fans in the house. Her daddy and her brother practically compete to see who can give her more kisses, who will be the first to greet her in the morning, and who can make her laugh the most. There is no better word to describe their […]

To three or not to three?
…that is the question. At least, that is a question that seems to have come up a few times in our house lately–whether or not we’ll have a third kiddo. Partly it is frequently under discussion between Trent and me, and also, Carson chimes in quite a bit about his desires. Fortunately, we are not […]

QUICK! HURRY! SHOES ON–NOW!
“The sun is out! Hurry! We’re going outside THIS MINUTE before it goes away!” This is basically what I said yesterday. Good thing, too, because today is like out of a movie set on the day when they were going for “gloomy and wet” backdrop. Seriously, it’s ridiculous. It’s MAY for crying out loud. My […]
