Dustin and I generally, jeer, scoff and roll our eyes at the fabricated Valentines Day holiday. This year was no different.
No way would you find us sending gooey love notes to one another, or having a singing telegram delivered to work. We are so above balloons, roses and chocolates.
So what did [...]
We’re back from our laptop free vacation. It was everything I hoped it would be! I knew it was going to be great when manchops asked me “Tell me what I can do to make this weekend great for you”.
The weekend didn’t start out great though. Dustin and I have two totally different ideas of [...]
This weekend is a special weekend for our family. It’s the end of the Wilderness. No, not the wilderness where Moses and the Israelites wandered around for like a bajillion years, but the end of our own personal wilderness.
The only thing left over from our web design business, is $24,000 in debt and a client [...]
I am now a brunette. I couldn’t really re-do my hair without over processing it, so I went dark. Real dark.
It’s fun. It’s like trying on a whole new attitude and style. I’m reminded of the time in High School when I dressed up my really conservative - people pay big bucks for this kind [...]
My dad called yesterday. Between Maddie’s screaming for “clicky shoes” and rescuing Christian from dangling off of the stove, I heard him say “So, do you feel refreshed?”.
Um, no. I realized last week that mom’s don’t get vacations. At least not while their kids are this little. I don’t mean that as a complaint but [...]
After thoroughly embarrassing myself and my husband in my last post (*Update 5/5/08 - I deleted that post after too many of my husband’s coworkers mentioning to him that I seemed like a crazy woman*), I swore I would never post emotionally again.
Yet, here I am. An emotional poster and an emotional eater. Awesome.
I’ve been [...]
What’s worse than being awakened by the need to fling yourself over the toilet and wretch non existants?
Realizing that you have 20 minutes to shower, dress, wake the kids, dress the kids, feed the kids and drive 15 minutes to your OB apt.
What’s worse than that?
Showering, putting on make up, dressing, sweetly waking the kids, [...]
Things have been much better between Dustin and I since we’ve moved into our new home. It wasn’t until a couple of weeks ago though that I actually considered it that way. We’re still emotionally bruised from last year, but our arguing has definitely changed for the better.
When we were on our [...]
Do you blog in your head? I do. At night, Dustin will ask me what I’m blogging as I lie in bed with my eyes closed.
Lately, I’ve been blogging about our marriage, but you wouldn’t know that since, it’s … well, all in my head. The sucky thing is, now that I have the time [...]
Life is never perfect.
Well, there was this one moment on my honeymoon when I fell asleep on the houseboat with my skin tingling from the afternoon sun, a nice wine buzz and a heart so full of love I think I might have been floating. But apart from that moment, life never totally slows down. [...]
