Misc. Friday Afternoon
Friday, November 30th, 2007I don’t know what the deal is with this cold but I’m feeling achy and really tired and my sinuses are really hurting. And it’s 2pm, which means Luke should almost be ready to stay in his bed for his nap (he was put down an hour ago, after all!). In the meantime, [...]
This is Dixie mad!
Thursday, November 29th, 2007I thought I’d blogged about the annoying mess we got into with our bank when we were offered to “up” our chequing account package to something fancier and FREE because we were such “loyal customers”, but I guess I didn’t. Long story short: I was terribly excited about free, unlimited banking. Then a [...]
Wisdom and Sorrow
Wednesday, November 28th, 2007In one of my ethic’s classes in university we discussed whether or not the “collective good”, or if you want to call it the “overall happiness”, of a culture would be greater if there was one person suffering greatly somewhere (and if it would matter if everyone was aware of that person). In this [...]
Sad and tired.
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007I’m tired, and I feel like something that I can’t pinpoint is making me sad.
Strange.
And rather annoying.
How do you get yourself out of a funk when you don’t know how you got in it in the first place?
I’ll try sleep for now, since it’s bedtime and all.
I’ve Got Nothing
Tuesday, November 27th, 2007Sorry. We’re all still recovering from the sickness and the disaster-house that has come from that. (How they ever managed to get all three of their Dora games down from that high shelf and throw all of the little cards from them all over the house, I’d like to know.) I’ve done a couple draft [...]
I’ll tell you a little secret…
Friday, November 23rd, 2007Marc and I call each other “buster”. I’m not sure why or where it came from, because we did it long before we ever saw Buster Bluth on “Arrested Development” (though we have been saying “He-ee-ey Brother…” at random moments a lot lately). But we call each other “buster”. Like in the middle of the [...]
Brown and Black Friday
Friday, November 23rd, 2007It’s gotta happen one time in every mother’s life. And just now it happened to me. And it could’ve been much, much worse, so I’m very thankful. (After all, there was the one and only time I babysat as a kid and the three year old took off her diaper and smeared [...]
What it’s like to be a sick mom.
Wednesday, November 21st, 2007(And I don’t mean the pole-dancing kind).
So, this is what life is like when you’re a mom whose acquired a sore throat, sinus headache, and general achiness in the night:
- wake up to feed the baby at 7am
- wake up to the sick 2 year old who crawls into your bed at 8am and help [...]
All of Life’s Truths Can Be Found in The Soundtrack to Hairspray
Monday, November 19th, 2007So, I think I know what I’m going to sing at the church’s advent concert in two weeks. If I could go out there and sing what is in my heart to sing, what brings me pure joy, I’d sing the first song in the movie Hairspray: “Good Morning Baltimore”. I know [...]
