My pregnant brain is failing me right now, but one of you recently wrote on your blog about how kids seem to automatically go on opposite schedules — when child A sleeps in child B gets up early…
Today seems to be one of those frustrating days. The whole family was fed, dressed, bundled up and [...]
This afternoon we went for our ultrasound. I’m 18 weeks and 4 days along right now, almost exactly as far along as when I had Luke’s ultrasound, and 2 weeks less than my second ultrasound with Madeline (they thought she might be twins, so I had one early on as well). We took Madeline along [...]
Okay, let’s talk about this ring for a minute. Tal said she needed to see a picture of it. So, there you go, Tal. $1,000 for a size 5, 0.33 carats over 3 princess cut diamonds on a base of 10 carat gold:
Problem number one with the purchase of this ring (unless you count the [...]
Back in my first Post-Pentecostalism post, JT asked me a number of questions in the comments, that I have not answered yet. They were questions about the nitty-gritty of the process of chosing a church that we went through just over a year ago. I think I’ll just post his questions one at a time [...]
Today has been one of those days. Nothing that bad happened, but nothing that good either. I’ve had a headache since yesterday and I’m getting sick again for the second time in a week and a half. The kids have been good and have played well all day. But kids are noisy. Especially when you [...]
Marc was out for a bit on Saturday night, so I sat on the couch with a cold mug of Diet Pepsi, folded laundry, and watched While You Were Sleeping. That is an old movie. Well, not really old, but I bought it when I was a teenager. In fact, I almost couldn’t find it [...]
Well, today I thought I’d go back to punishment for bathroom accidents with Madeline (well, really they’re non-bathroom accidents, but you know what I mean…). She had a little “brown accident” in her underwear after church, so she got a spank and lost tv for the day. She was not happy. But this did not [...]
Late this afternoon Marc took Luke to Superstore to get a few groceries and I went to Walmart to get a few odds and ends — the two busiest stores in town on a Saturday. You see why we split up the job. I told Marc to stop at the corner before the parking lot [...]
I hate being pregnant at Christmas. Really hate it. I am a complete and total emotional basket case when I’m pregnant at Christmas. This morning I went downstairs to the piano to find out how the arrangement of ‘In the Bleak Midwinter” goes in our hymnal, as we’re singing it tomorrow at church. I wasn’t even [...]
I hope Madeline never reads this blog. And I totally don’t mean to embarrass her, but if she’s ever going to get potty-trained, I need to work this stuff out — in an on-line forum. I mentioned earlier this week that Madeline peed her pants at the big Grey Cup party on the weekend. This [...]
