Mondays are kinda crazy. It’s usually my laundry day. All of the kids go to school but after school we have Cathechism (or Catholic education) for B. I also usually go grocery shopping on Mondays. So, after dropping K off at school at 9, I head to the gym, come home, get cleaned up, have…
How my mind works
I like dessert. I just do. I grew up in a house where a Dutch apple pie on a random Wednesday was common place. My mother loves to bake and we like to eat what she bakes, so while I was growing up we pretty much always had a “treat” after dinner. (although how that…
I used to be kinda fun(ny)
I read a few old posts of mine recently and I noticed that I used to be kinda funny. I’m not so funny anymore. What is up with that anyway? Well you know what? I have realized that I need to stop taking every gosh-derned thing so seriously already. You know, like the fact that…
Toddler Times
She was my last baby and now she is my last toddler. Soaking it up. Even the epic meltdowns. But mostly the snack eating, book “reading”, occasional t.v. watching, coloring, etc, etc, etc…
Hello?!?
Hey!! Tap. Tap. Is this thing on? Wow, I feel like a week of my life was stolen from me. Seriously. At least I conserved make-up. 🙂 For a day or so I was in and out of consciousness while wearing a sweatshirt and fuzzy socks, at the end of August in south Louisiana (completely unheard of…
F to the L to the U
I hate to have left such a “not so happy” post up on my blog for the last few days but you know, sometimes life is just well… that way. I’ve been in bed since Tuesday morning with the dreaded FLU. Full on fever, body aches cough, horrible, no-good, very bad FLU. And the kids…
A Slight Reprieve
There have been just a few little signs that Fall is on the way around here lately. I know. I can’t believe it either. I mean, this is SOUTH Louisiana after all. But today I found the temperatures in the earlier part of the day to be quite pleasant and I went to get the…
Miss Elaine-ous Monday at it’s best…
I did a little shopping for BlogHer this weekend. I admit I have a bit of an addiction to clothes and shoes. But since I added some new items to my wardrobe I also bagged up some older never worn really things to take to the local resale shop. It’s a process. I still have…
These Hands
Every night I lie down with Katie in her bed, as she settles in for sleep. We read a book or two {she loves Goodnight Gorilla and Birthday Monsters}, say prayers and then we always sing at least one round of Twinkle Twinkle, Little Star. And she sings it with gusto, let me tell you. The…
My Husband
I sat at the kitchen table this morning with my eggs and coffee and clicked on the ole Facebook to see a couple of updates. I clicked on my own profile and saw the photo I recently uploaded of Tim and I on vacation and for some reason, just looking at our faces, next to…
