[photo cross-posted from Facebook for all my non-FB friends] [because I love ya] Can I just say... It’s a good thing this little guy’s so cute because he has been a total fusspot. Seriously. He will be exactly 2 months old tomorrow and at this point, all bets are off as to whether he’ll ever let me put him down. (The pose in the photo … [Read more...]
What a Difference a Week (or Two) Makes
The Blah-Blah-Blog Edition So I’ve been thinking back wistfully to the days when I used to update daily. Do you perhaps remember that? My eyes would pop open around 5:00 a.m. and I would bound out of bed, thinking, “I get to go write a blog post!” And off I’d go, quite happily, to brew a cup of coffee and jot down my thoughts. Not so, these … [Read more...]
A Chance Encounter
Crossposted from Facebook I felt bad for the young lady behind me in the grocery store line. My cart was overflowing…and this after I’d unloaded a third of it! “I’ve got a big crew at home,” I said apologetically, and pointing a finger at my bulging abdomen, added, “This is Number 7.” “Oh, I would love to have what you have!” she exclaimed, and … [Read more...]
Checking in with a Hello! and a Church Photo
Hello! So I was telling Barbara that I could very much relate to her “disconnect” post. I’ve got lots I could say in this little space (Hello? Remember those vacation posts I promised? You don’t? Well, no great loss then) BUT—conversely—I have far more to do in the slightly larger space that’s home. Except…would one’s home be larger than the … [Read more...]
Pure Conjecture
If you tell your four children that the reason Mom started weeping at lunch is that she’s way overtired and needs a nap and that they MUST stay quiet and keep the 3-year-old happy… If you say this to them and your sweet 9-year-old daughter still comes up…and proceeds to stand at your bedside silently and stare at you with one of her hands on your … [Read more...]
Good News/Bad News/Getting Beeped At
So which of those title items would you like to hear about first? My call? Okay dokee, I’ll start with the good news, which is that my husband has been following through on a couple of job leads—please keep praying!—and hasn’t had a chance to do his guest post. The bad news is…because I promised him “first post honors,” I am stuck in limbo … [Read more...]
Checking In
Alternately Titled: On being me when being me isn’t easy. First, a photo. You see that kid in the turban giving me a raspberry? I lean on him repeatedly throughout my day for a hearty sampling of K.I.S.S. therapy. I “keep it simple, silly.” I kiss my boy. Also? I understand that your life is no less difficult than mine right … [Read more...]
Easter Monday Musings
Easter Sunday dawned bright and early, heavy emphasis on the early part.Tell me that you assisted that bunny too.Tell me that you stayed up way too late.It was all good, though, and the clear blue skies were so very welcome. (We had rain on Holy Saturday.) I took a fair share of pictures throughout the day and may, eventually, get around to posting … [Read more...]

Lemonade Stands and Gasoline Cans
Alternately Titled: It’s a Small World After All On Monday my girls set up a lemonade stand. They have been asking to do a lemonade stand since, basically, the Reagan Administration…and Monday, finally, was the big day.(They made $7.00 and declared it a huge success.)Felicity came in at one point and said, “Mom? There’s a car out there whose lights … [Read more...]
