Marc went out about an hour ago to take Madeline to the walk-in clinic to see if she has pink eye. We’ve never experienced that in this house, and, obviously, I was hoping to avoid it forever. So that’s great if she has it… they should be back soon. Marc is feeling like he’s getting [...]
Really. I am… I think. Yesterday I finally took a Tylenol just before my nap and found myself dozing in bed as I was finishing up my lunch. So I just closed my eyes and slept, and when I woke up an hour later, I felt 90% better. Then I got up. And the tiredness and [...]
So this cold isn’t bad yet, but it’s all right behind my sinuses making me more light-headed than usual and my breath is becoming more wheezy. At least it’s a preschool day today, so I have the house to myself now that Luke is down for his nap. And I have a wonderful husband who [...]
We were away for the weekend visiting a few sets of friends in and around Saskatoon. Good times. We stayed with some friends in Dalmeny who have enough kids to know that good visiting happens only once the kids are in bed. And we did some good visiting. We talked theology for a long time [...]
These days are flying by. This week I was supposed to finish up my drum/piano lessons, but since half of my students haven’t showed up for their final review lesson, it looks like things will be going into next week… Fun. I love taking the extra time to do a complete year overview for each [...]
My mom owns the local Christian bookstore here in town. She took it over from some people who could not make a go of it when I was 2 years old. I’d greet the customers with my 3 year-old head of blonde ringlets, saying, "Can I help you find anything?" She’s had that store for [...]
Sometimes I get lonely. Sometimes I’m lonely in the middle of the afternoon or at the end of the day. It’s not from a lack of friends, that’s for sure, because we have lots — almost too many. But, it’s hard to get together with people, especially with other moms. And sometimes getting together with [...]
I had another doctor’s appointment today. I go again in 2 weeks, and after that appointment it’s every week. This baby is one its way out. The doctor told me today that the head is down. This kid normally does a lot of moving around (and it’s getting quite interesting to watch from the outside, not [...]
I’m enjoying packing up the house. I’ve got the towels and bed and table linens packed and out of the way. We each have 2 sets of sheets and towels for the next 2 months. The kids’ blankets and bedding and Madeline’s books (save a few) are done too, as are the non-current photo-albums (I need to [...]
I just read Peggy’s post about the Thoughtfulness of her husband in buying her roses this week. And it got me to thinking of my own thoughtlessness. Within the first half hour of Marc asking me out, over 9 years ago now, I told him that he should never, under any circumstances buy me flowers, chocolates [...]
