Breathers

July 28, 2010

What. a. week.  Yep.  One of those. The kids went back to school on the 19th and I don’t feel like I’ve taken a breather since.  No time to breathe when you’ve got orthodontist appointments sandwiched by swim classes times two. We’ve got homework coming out the wazoo.  Lunch making and meal-planning.  Sports sign-ups and [...]

The Great Paint Debacle 2010

July 12, 2010

According to dictionary.com, the word ‘debacle’ is defined as: a complete collapse or failure. Based on that definition I can confirm that the recent painting of our master bedroom was, in fact, a debacle. Ah.  Where to begin?

Friday night: Jeff’s bbq.  Complete with mesquite wood chips. Grilled turkey burgers with bbq sauce, swiss, and avocado. Smores.  With peanut butter cups instead of boring old Hershey bars.

March 30, 2010

I made a cake today.  Lemon Bundt. I also: took Jayce to the doctor, read him six books, made bean and potato tacos, and stood outside in the warm desert sun. And yesterday I did all the laundry.  Every single load.  And I talked to Kelly on the phone for an hour.  And I had [...]

I Gotta Feeling

March 7, 2010

Monday morning marks the beginning of spring break.  Which equates to two full weeks of sleeping well past 5:45.  And nary a packed lunch in sight. {cue the angel chorus}. We spent the weekend with Gram.  I just adore her.  That’s all there is to say about that. The seven of us took in the [...]

Recovered. {Fingers Crossed}

February 28, 2010

There’s been a constant chorus of nose blowing in our house. And coughing.  Hacking up lungs and whatnot. Nose-blowing and coughing and lungs.  Intermittently. For days.  And days. It hit me hard last week. Unexpectedly. Which explains my unannounced absence. I would have loved to have posted.  But I was laid up on the couch [...]
