10:15pm. The perfect time to put in an hour’s work of data entry. You’ll recall a few days ago my excitement over being able to do data entry. Well, that was the first time I worked on what looks like will be my job for the next couple months: marking destroyed files “destroyed” on our [...]
Yesterday, the kids and I were playing Lego on the floor in Luke’s room. Madeline has a Dora Lego set that is a playground, and one of the pieces is a merry-go-round. I stacked up a few Legos on either side with Dora on the top of one of the towers, so that Luke could twirl [...]
My parents took the kids over to their house for their naps this afternoon and are going to feed them supper, which means:
- 3 hours of data entry for the office before my drum student comes for her lesson!!! Yippee!!!!!
- Marc and I are going to go check out the new location of Spicy Peppercorn [...]
Everyone grab a tape measure. Now find 15.5 inches. Now make that into a circle with a 15.5 inch circumference. Now imagine that being pushed out of your vagina. (You may have to first imagine that you have a vagina.)
That was the head circumference of my first born child. And I thank my husband and his [...]
A friend asked me a while ago what it was like being 26 this year. And I’ve been thinking about that a lot lately. This year, of being 26, sure has been a major one in my life. I became a mother of two and the mother of a boy and a girl, at that. [...]
Well, Lisa and I returned to our families on Sunday around supper. It was a good time, if only a little short. It was nice to be away from everybody, and the ability to stay out of any house from 9am to 9pm is worth more than anyone can imagine to two stay at home [...]
Tonight Madeline was drawing on our bed (on paper on our bed…) and she told me she wanted to draw her “a,b,c,d,e,f,g…” (she said the entire alphabet and then abruptly stopped at “now I said…” when she realized that she couldn’t actually draw those words!).
I told her to go ahead and draw her letters. I don’t [...]
In 2.5 long hours I will be on the road with a friend for a weekend away from the house, the husband, and the kids. This could not happen soon enough. I am tired. I am emotional. And I am getting frustrated at my inability to do simple daily tasks with these kids always on [...]
So, Beck’s comment reminded me of this most ridiculous episode from my childhood:
I was a about 10 or 11 years old and was going for a walk around my neighbourhood one sunny, hot afternoon. On a street around the corner from my house two little girls had set up a lemonade stand. I bought a [...]
As I was driving home yesterday I noticed the usual signs on corners, lamp posts, etc. for upcoming garage sales.
Now, first of all, you must know that it bothers me to NO END the way these signs are prepared. Never mind the scratchy, crooked writing, not centred on the sign, what I hate is seeing [...]
