Out with the old

I’m having this overwhelming urge to clean, organize, de-clutter, get rid of old junk, and prepare for new stuff coming in. With Caden’s birthday just a short time from now, closely followed by Christmas, we will soon be having an influx of more stuff. And we’ve just been inundated with stuff from Noah’s birthday. It’s […]

I want to dance with the stars

I wish I could come up with some way to have my fifteen minutes of fame like Melissa Rycroft (without going on a lame show like “The Bachelor” and getting my heart ripped out by some loser!) so I could be a contestant on “Dancing With the Stars”.

I’m watching the show from last night, […]

Hanging on

This was the temperature today:

Keep in mind that I live in southeastern Wisconsin, and it’s November 8.

N-O-V-E-M-B-E-R 8!

We’re hanging on. Just like these apples.

Just like these […]

The holidays are coming

Now that Halloween is over, apparently it’s time to get all things Christmas out on the shelves in stores: Christmas candy at the grocery store, Christmas trees, wrapping paper and ornaments at Target. The Christmas music will probably start shortly on the radio.

It also means that it’s time for the influx of catalogs. I’m […]

First day of school!

We made it! Noah had his first full day of kindergarten today. And he was a total rock star! I was a wreck (thank goodness big sunglasses are in style and it was sunny today!), but he was a champ! I’m really proud of him.

We made sure we were up and […]

The “eyes” have it

The boys’ eyes, that is. And “it” is conjunctivitis, otherwise known as pink eye.

It’s in Noah’s left eye, and Caden’s right eye. (It’s hard to see Caden’s because he was smiling, and it’s not as severe as Noah’s.) So we made our pilgrimage to the doctor (who I love, and who, thankfully, […]

What am I doing wrong?

Okay, time for me to vent. Sorry if this gets out of control, or I start rambling, or whatever. But I’m pissed right now.

Today was Noah’s last t-ball game. It’s a gorgeous day, a wonderful breeze blowing, and the team did great. They don’t keep score, but everyone did their best, they had fun, […]

How???????

How did my oldest son just graduate from preschool today???

How is he old enough to go to kindergarten next year???

How am I going to handle all of this change???

This morning Noah had a little “graduation” at school. It was a lot of fun. Noah was lucky enough to have […]

Weigh-in Wednesday: Week 4

Here we are again. It’s Wednesday, time to fess up. No, it’s really not that big of a deal, but whatever.

Initial weight: 124.0 Last week: 123.0 This week: 123.0

Yup. No change. I’m not terribly upset. I’ve had four really stressful days at work. I don’t normally work four days in […]

Update to my day

So after the crappy day I had, I wanted to go out to dinner. We headed to our neighborhood Applebee’s, which conveniently has $0.99 kids’ meals on Wednesday. I ordered a giant red apple sangria to help drown my sorrows, then played a game of Tic-Tac-Toe with Noah-which he won. Andy had to rub that […]
