Recently, LM has become fascinated with my jewelry. Out of the blue he asks: LM: When you die, can I have your jewelry? Me: Sure LM: Thank you Me: You’re welcome Tonight when we took our walk he insisted upon everyone wearing two rings and one necklace. W wore his dog tags.
Alarm 6:00 a.m.: beep, beep Me: wake up, look around in confusion. W, did you get up with FH last night? W: No Me: Me neither…..hope he is ok FH: sound asleep The first night EVER that he slept through the night–from 8 p.m. to at least 6:35 a.m. Holy moly, if I get a [...]
Being ill has one advantage–plenty of time to do some thinking while recuperating. With the sleep deprivation and poor health, I’ve lost focus lately. I’ve tuned out somewhat from being present with my children. I’ve been going through the motions but have lost some of the joy in parenting. I intend on changing that. 1) [...]
Oh yeah, when you don’t get enough rest, your body has a way of making your rest. I’ve had a sore throat and ear ache for about two weeks; didn’t really think much about it. Got this weird little bump above my eye; thought it was a pimple. Eye started to swell up and get [...]

I had such a good day today! It’s probably one of the most enjoyable days I have had in a long time. W and LM went to West Virginia this morning, so FH and I had a relaxing morning. Went to Kohls and got a few things–extra 20% off. Had lunch with the sisters and [...]
Often, I find myself spending more time reading blogs than actually writing on mine or doing some other productive task. It’s nice to see what other people are doing/thinking, but I think I will trim down the blog roll a bit. On a totally different note, today is my birthday. Long day at work with [...]

During those seven years, we have: bought a house renovated said house gotten a dog had a baby sold house bought another house had another baby lost both maternal grandmothers switched jobs traveled far and near eaten, laughed, and cried together Can’t wait to [...]
