Off-kilter

Posted on July 30, 2009 by Carrie

There are no bananas in the house. I feel sort of like Jack Sparrow, wandering around the kitchen, muttering, “Where have the bananas gone?” Into Gabe, that’s where. Grrrr…I do believe that I’ve gotten spoiled; having hot cereal without melted … Continue reading →

Why I’m exhausted by the end of each day

Posted on July 29, 2009 by Carrie

This morning, Gabe slept a little later than usual, so I got to wake him for a change. I put my hand on his back, and, without opening his eyes, he said, “…woke me from the bestest dream ever. There … Continue reading →

Forgot to mention

Posted on July 28, 2009 by Carrie

The funniest, coolest part of my conversation with Dad yesterday was when he was sympathizing with me, and he said, “…and maybe next year you can do the JFK 50, and we can just put you up at the house. … Continue reading →

Good and bad

Posted on July 28, 2009 by Carrie

Good: marathon training. Everything is going smoothly so far. Bad: the realization I was finally forced to accept yesterday that it’s just not going to be feasible for all four of us to head back east for the race. As … Continue reading →

In bullet form, yet again

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Carrie

Eric: sick. Sick since Saturday evening, actually, with something that sure is acting like Shigellosis (the illness du jour currently circulating in our county). Once he got past the initial, quite dramatically gross, onset, the fever has been the worst … Continue reading →

Saturday…in the park…

Posted on July 25, 2009 by Carrie

Festival Park, that is, for “Italian Fest” – which is apparently code for “Beer and Overpriced Fair Food.” My cannoli was good, but…meh. Not a heck of a lot of reasons to think about returning in the future. I understand … Continue reading →

Them bones, them bones…

Posted on July 23, 2009 by Carrie

Well, crap. I’m having a really crappy (tired, stressed, headachy, grumpy) week, and this afternoon capped it off. Remember when my new/old doctor said I was probably fine, but prescribed a bone density scan, just to be on the safe … Continue reading →

Fun afternoon

Posted on July 21, 2009 by Carrie

We’ve lived here for a little over five years, and we’re still adjusting. When Alysia came through on vacation last fall, she took one look at our town’s primary beach on Lake Michigan and was aghast that we weren’t spending … Continue reading →

My poor baby

Posted on July 20, 2009 by Carrie

The big one, not the little. He’s eight, which places him rather firmly out of “baby” territory, of course, but I think somebody forgot to give him the memo – or maybe they didn’t, but he took one look at … Continue reading →

Dragging

Posted on July 17, 2009 by Carrie

This has been a day of dragging and lolligagging. I actually hit snooze on my alarm for my run (giving myself a whole four-minute reprieve!), and Sam’s ever-so-slow finishing of his (requested!) oat bran made us head out for the … Continue reading →
