I hate looking out over the week and realizing that the days are evaporating faster than you want them to. Just ran two days in a row, really shouldn’t run today, but tomorrow is a MOPS Thursday, which means I have to run before Eric leaves for work in the morning, but it’s supposed […]

It should be noted that we chose to serve ham as our primary protein due to our kids’ usual reluctance to eat roasted bird, and it should be noted also that both boys decided to turn their noses up at the ham yesterday and instead eat from the small Rock Cornish hen we got just […]

I swear, he catches me when I’m too tired to process. Last night, when I was trying to get the boys to bed, Gabe got very angry when I insisted that Sam be in his own bed, not playing with Gabe in the lower bunk. Gabe howled, “I hate this policy!” […]

I promise that I don’t sit around comparing my boys to each other all day long, regardless of how recent entries are carrying that theme. Today, too, though, I once again found myself recalling Sam as I worked with Gabe and found that things are really different this time around.
We went over to Sam’s […]

I made a baked pumpkin today (so yummy!), and I had to search through my old journal archives to find the recipe. Doing that, I came across a toddler Sam, telling me out of the blue that “‘a’ is for airplane, and ‘c’ is for cat.” I remember how amazed I was by […]

I never knew that Seasonal Affective Disorder can involve sugar cravings. I just thought it was the constant enticements of “holiday goodies” making me go all “COOKIE MONSTER AAAAAAAA-NOM-NOM-NOM” around this time of the year. That, perhaps, and some sort of pre-evolutionary throwback need to pack on fat for the long winter of […]

Some days, I have absolutely nothing to say - nothing worth saying, nothing worth the effort of opening my mouth to utter. Frequently, on these days, I actually get annoyed with having to speak at all, or at least with having to come up with original words. Gabe just sat on my lap […]

I run on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays lately. Looking ahead, it’s calling for rain on Thursday and a rain-snow mix on Saturday, so I wanted to make the most of today in case I didn’t feel up to longer runs in inclement weather. Gabe didn’t have school today, which was fortunate in […]

…and I’m just grateful to be back, hopefully, into a routine I can predict. Well, except that today Eric had an early meeting and missed the bus for it, so he had to take the car; I’m not sure I had anything I needed to accomplish today which would require driving, but you just […]
