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 [...]
A day in the life
My children’s lit class is probably the most unexpectedly fun class I’ve had. When I first got the syllabus I thought for sure I’d drown in all the readings, even if they weren’t specifically hard (and they aren’t hard books). My final project is a diversity project, where we are to chose children’s books to [...]
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 [...]
NaBloPoMo
I’ve decided to dive in and take part in this month’s nablopomo theme. I’ve neglected my blog for far too long and it’s high time I start giving it some love. May’s theme is sweet. I can’t say I’ll be posting on the theme every day, but I’ll try. Today, though, I guess I’ll just [...]
Out with the old
Brian and I have been mattress shopping for awhile. As a person who loathes shopping, I can tell you I was not looking forward to this tedious task. I found, however, that I rather enjoyed it. After all, laying down to shop? I can handle that! Anyway, we’ve done a lot of research online, been [...]
It’s the most wonderful time of the year
Halloween marks the start of our busy season around here. After Halloween, we prepare for Thanksgiving and Brian’s birthday. Fortunately, this year they aren’t the same day! 15 days later is Alex’s birthday. His Godfather will be in town that weekend to celebrate his birthday and Christmas with the boys, which means that sometime before [...]
Been a long while
Once again, it’s been far too long since I have blogged. I find it much harder to even be in the mood to blog now-a-days. It isn’t that I don’t want to, I’m just not motivated enough to think of something to blog about, lol. Not to mention that for the last two weeks, I’ve [...]
100 days to Christmas
Yes, I know that there are now 96 days to Christmas, and not 100, as the title suggests. What I’m actually talking about is a website called One Hundred days to Christmas. It’s another List Mama blog, but I like it because it’s Christmas related. I always find that it sneaks up on me. One [...]
The countdown begins
As of today, it is T-24 days until my first day of classes. I am both incredibly excited and incredibly nervous. I don’t think I’ve been this nervous before. Or at least not in a long time. And I can’t really say it’s a bad kind of nervous. More of an excited nervous. Does that [...]
