One dream realized
I haven’t yet blogged about the biggest event that has happened in my life since giving birth to my youngest son: my college graduation. That’s right, I am now a college grad! It took me 12 years and a different path to finish my bachelors degree, but I made it. And I couldn’t be more [...]
One step forward, two steps back
Just when I feel that we’re making headway with Zach and his bed-wetting problem, we seem to take two steps back. He had done so well for about a month. He was staying dry every night, and even admitted that he was able to tell that he had to go to the bathroom in the [...]
Not what I expected to hear
This time of year things get so busy half the time I never hear a single word being said to me. It isn’t because I’m intentionally ignoring anyone. It’s just because I have so much going on and my mind is racing so much there too much in my brain to comprehend the information being [...]
We survived
Well, the first week of school has come and gone with only minimal drama. Although, at the time, it seemed like major drama. The twins’ bus was an hour late the first day! An hour late! And no parent got a phone call (this is what really upset me). I had to call them to [...]
Back to school!
It’s back to school day for us, and since I haven’t updated my blog in…um…FOREVER…I thought today would be the perfect day to jump back in. I started back to classes last week. The boys have been both excited and apprehensive about going back. Alex was up a bit before I got up at 6 [...]
Testing all the limits
My 6 yo is insisting on testing all the limits known to mankind. He’s generally a good kid, don’t get me wrong, but, boy, that kid has cajones! We never really had a problem until he turned 6. Once 6, he thought that none of our rules applied to him. I have no idea what [...]
Sometimes, it’s a slap in the face
Have you ever had that ssv (still, small voice), taping away on your shoulder? I think we all have at some point. This week, my ssv decided it was tired of being still and small and it smacked me upside the head! After starting back to school last fall to finish my teaching degree, I [...]
Speaking of routine
The boys are all due for their yearly physicals, so I scheduled the twins for theirs today. Might as well get them done and out of the way early, no? I was amazed to see just how much they’d grown in a year! Zach has gained 8.5 pounds and grown 2.25 inches. Not super growth [...]
Happy (?) July!
Oy, I have been in a funk, lately, as it relates to the blog. Don’t know why, but I just have not wanted to blog/have not had anything to say. I am trying to rededicate myself to blogging at least semi-regularly. Even if it isn’t anything anyone wants to read but me, I guess that’s [...]
Nyokki! Nyokki! Nyokki!
One set of my in-laws are always gracing the boys with artsy gifts. This is probably attributed to the fact that they are heavily involved with museums and my mil used to be (and maybe still is) an antique seller/appraiser. They live in a quaint little area of Connecticut where there are lots of little [...]
