Things going wrong:
-Savannah found Mark’s energy gum and decided to have a piece (Go ahead, laugh with me)
-She fought sleep until at least 9:30 last night (her bed time is 8pm).
-She then woke up at 1am WIDE EYED and ready to play.
-I used my stern Mommy voice too many times in my frustration and exhaustion.
-Slammed [...]
We’re bored. I guess that’s the thing about summer time, isn’t it? Yea, it’s great to not have to do anything like school work, but doing nothing all the time gets boring. I’m sure you’ve heard your kids say it, too.
I’m running out of fun things to do with Savannah. Originally I was trying to [...]
Oh goodness, it’s one of those days. Savannah has been whining since the moment she got up at 6:30 (clearly, way to early for her to be up). She’s only some-what content if we’re outside. But really? It’s like an oven out there and it’s not even officially summer yet! We surely cannot [...]
Well…that didn’t work.
She was fast asleep by 7:15 worn out from playing in the sun and taking a walk. I was hopeful that she would sleep through the night, or at least not fight sleep when she did wake up during the night. Nope. It only got worse. Instead of waking up at 4am, she [...]
Our church showed this video a few weeks ago, it struck me then, and it still does today as I listen to what she is saying. It’s a modern take on the “Woman at the Well” story from the book of John in the Bible. I’m struggling yet again with turning to God for [...]
Some days I just need to breathe, take a step back and just breathe.
The toys on the floor are tripping me, the clothes are hanging out the drawers.
The beds aren’t made, the curtains are shut.
The baby is crying with 4 teeth attempting to emerge at once.
Her pain, is my pain. Her tears are my tears.
I [...]
As I’m sure most of you realize by now that Mother’s Day is just around the corner. However, I bet most don’t realize that means Birth Mother’s Day is also looming close, the Saturday before Mother’s Day. I’ve mentioned this briefly before, but this day was created in 1990 by a group of Birth Mother’s in Seattle [...]
This is just a quick note to say 1) I’m still alive 2) I’m super-de-duper busy between final exams/papers/projects, Savannah Banana (who is finally feeling better from her ear infections) and visiting friends one last time before they go to Africa for the summer 3)Â Yes, I said uber up there in the title. Cause [...]
Well, I did it. I watched the movie, “Juno” last night. I’ve been curious to see it since it came out, but have been nervous to see it for fear of the emotions aroused. And you know what? I didn’t cry. And I think that says something in it’s self, that it didn’t portray the [...]
A quick note:
I braved another restaurant meal today with the Diva-Child. Things went well. Thank goodness for naps, motrin, lots of food, a window seat and fruit (the girl loves fruit!).
And, we visited with Kaylee today. Savannah is extremely jealous if Kaylee is touching me (sitting in my lap, snuggling, etc.). What in the world [...]
