Then and now
Emily and I are on our way down to the Children's Hospital for her endocrinology check-up, so I thought I'd give you an old blog entry from my "work" blog. Cross your fingers that all goes well for us and that we make it all the way back home for trick-or-treating. Then and Now… Read more

melting
I have green grass again, so the snow has melted. Thank goodness! But, now suddenly, I feel as though I am melting, too. I woke up at 4 a.m. this morning in a panic about how much I have to get done in the next two days. Besides having to take poor Em to her… Read more

It’s too light outside today
I woke up before the alarm went off this morning and my first thought was that it's too light outside today. I worried that we'd overslept but a glance at the alarm clock told me that it was the usual time – 5:45 a.m. But it was too light outside to be 5:45 a.m. Until… Read more

Monday’s list
Ah, nothing like starting off a Monday morning with a nice, long list. Unfortunately, I'm sitting at home with a sick kid beside me on the couch, so the odds of me getting anything done are pretty slim. First, a DesignerDigitals layout about my now-sick little man: This was done for Scraplift Saturday and… Read more

overheard
"Mommy, wow, boobs are 'posed to be up here." (pointing to my upper chest) "And yours are down here." (pointing to where mine actually are under my jammies) *insert muffled laughter and gasps from the husband* Gotta love 5-year-olds, huh? If I didn't love him, I'd ship his cute little butt to Siberia this morning.… Read more

I am crazy busy right now. Still dealing with health issues with Libby, still trying to figure out what's the best thing to do for her, getting Emily ready for her annual trip to the Children's Hospital (on Halloween – ugh), lots of volleyball games (and wins!!!) for Em, a kindergartener who suddenly is… Read more

Kindergarten follies
One of the best things about watching your children go through kindergarten is seeing that lightbulb go off in their little heads. That lightbulb that tells them that learning really is fun. We've been having so much fun watching Andrew experience that lightbulb this past month. And many of the conversations involve talking about the sounds… Read more

i’m not a lawyer, but i used to play one on tv
Okay, so I have this law degree just sitting here. Well, I guess it's not sitting here. It's basically in my head. Okay, well, and it's also probably not even in my head. It's all still sitting in the enormous loans that we pay every month. But, theoretically, I have a law degree. But, I… Read more

designing my life
Thanks so much for all the well wishes about Libby. We're slowing making progress and my fingers are crossed that we've found the issue with her meds and have found a way to fix it. Medicating my kids just bothers me so much. :( In her case, I realize that we don't have much of… Read more

Still here
Thanks for all the thoughts and well wishes you've sent our way this week!!! We're still working on getting Elizabeth strong again and back to our precious little smiley girl. 🙂 She's doing okay, but there's still a ways to go. Epilepsy is a very strange thing and the medications that control it are very… Read more
