And So I Ran

November 14, 2010 by Elaine

In middle school I really hated gym class. It wasn’t SO much the actual exercising as it was the too-tight uniform shorts I had to wear. I was NOT fond of track and field though, and remember feeling relieved that I was out sick on the day that we had to do hurdles. I was…

Do you like cereal? Well, I LOVE cereal and quite honestly, breakfast in general. And during the week the best thing for me to have in the morning is a bowl of cereal because it’s easy, tasty and fast. Unfortunately many of the cereals that are offered at the grocery store (even the “health” food…

Ok People, If I Am Gonna Do This, I Need Your Encouragement

October 7, 2008 by Elaine

I am trying to decide something. The decision isn’t that hard to make. I want to do it. What’s hard is the commitment. What’s REALLY hard is following through.

It’s Like Going to the Spa… for my Teeth

One day last week while The B Man was at “summer school” and Little G was dropped off at a friend’s house for a little play time with his pal G too (they share a name), I was off to get my teeth cleaned at the dentist. (I know, where else would I get my…

Vaccines. I wasn’t even going to bring this up but well, we are off to the doctor today and after reading A LOT in the last couple of days I am pretty freaked out. Both boys are required to get some shots today. Both boys are my heart and soul and I would never want…

Home Again

February 7, 2007 by Elaine

I have been home with Ben the last couple of days due to him having a fever and what seems to just be a nasty cold. We did go to the doctor yesterday and he basically said to just give him cold medicine and turn on the humidifier at night. But, with the pesky fever…
